Empower Wellness Spa, located at 16101 Ventura Blvd in Encino, is a Southern California wellness destination focused on non-invasive, results-driven therapies that support the body’s natural healing processes. Founded by wellness advocate Mariam Hakopyan, the spa shows her dedication to safe, effective, and accessible wellness solutions for everyone.
“Empower is about rebuilding trust with the body and reminding clients that their body is communicating, not working against them,” says Hakopyan. Her careful approach to wellness helps clients reconnect with their bodies and regain confidence in their physical well-being, rather than relying on quick fixes or invasive procedures. “I want clients to feel safe in their bodies again,” she adds.
Empower Wellness Spa provides a variety of therapies that improve circulation, stimulate lymphatic flow, reduce cellulite, support detoxification, and limit inflammation in the body. Some of Empower’s most popular services include Ozone Sauna Therapy, Endospheres Compressive Microvibration, Red Light Therapy paired with rebounder and vibration plate exercises, and lymphatic-focused facial work such as Gua Sha. Hakopyan recommends that new clients begin with Ozone Sauna Therapy, which uses heat, steam, and ozone to enhance oxygenation, circulation, and the body’s natural healing processes.
The spa serves a diverse clientele, including individuals navigating Lipedema, autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalances, chronic inflammation, metabolic and circulatory challenges, and post-surgical recovery. Many clients also seek support for stress management, sleep issues, skin health, and overall wellness. Hakopyan explains, “Wellness work is deeply personal, and clients bring emotional stories along with physical concerns.”
Hakopyan’s goals with Empower include education and empowerment. “It’s taught me that leadership in wellness starts with integrity and self-awareness,” she reflects. At Empower, clients are encouraged to participate in their healing by learning how their bodies respond to therapies, understanding physiological processes, and developing strategies for long-term balance.
The spa’s environment provides more than relaxation, as it is intended as a space of transformation for the body and mind. Many clients arrive after years of feeling dismissed or underserved in traditional healthcare systems. At Empower, they find attentive guidance and evidence-based treatments that are catered to their individual wants and needs.
Coming up soon, Empower Wellness Spa plans to expand its offerings with Foot Zoning Therapy, which targets specific points on the feet to support energy flow, as well as a line of custom skincare products to complement its existing therapies. These additions further exemplify the spa’s holistic approaches that address both body and mind.

Furthermore, on Tuesday, February 10th, Empower Wellness Spa will host its Elevated Soirée from 6:00 to 9:00 PM at the Encino location. The event will show off the spa’s wellness offerings and community-centered values, inviting wellness professionals, creators, and influencers for an evening of music, refreshments, and networking opportunities. A special guest speaker will present during the event starting at 8:00 PM, and attendees will receive special goodie bags featuring products from Empower and event sponsors.
The success of Empower Wellness Spa demonstrates that effective wellness is not just about treating symptoms, it is about restoring trust between clients and their bodies. In doing this, Hakopyan and her team provide tools for long-term wellness and a renewed sense of confidence in one’s own health.
