Empower Wellness Spa, located in Encino, is popular in Southern California for its focus on non-invasive, science-driven treatments. Founded by practitioner Mariam Hakopyan, the spa combines clinical insight with personal experience and consistent care to provide top-notch therapies to its clients. On Tuesday, February 10th, Empower Wellness Spa hosted its “Elevated Soirée,” an event that brought together community members and industry professionals to learn more about the spa’s unique services and tranquil environment.

Hakopyan’s goals for Empower Wellness Spa are closely connected to her own personal health experiences. After years managing Lipedema, she saw a need for wellness spaces that addressed foundational systems in the body rather than focusing only on surface-level concerns. These experiences influenced Empower’s accessibility, science-backed reasoning, and belief in the body’s natural responses being supported through targeted, non-invasive therapies. Furthermore, the spa’s mission is to make holistic wellness available to individuals seeking options that are effective, lower-risk, and more cost-conscious than others on the market. Rather than prioritizing high-intensity treatments, Empower focuses on therapies that support circulation, lymphatic movement, cellular energy, and detoxification pathways. Hakopyan describes this as a practical framework intended to help clients understand how underlying systems influence overall well-being.

For instance, a foundational offering at Empower is Ozone Sauna Therapy, which Hakopyan often recommends as a starting point for new clients. This treatment combines heat, steam, and ozone exposure. According to the spa, the goal of this combination is to promote oxygenation, increase circulation, and stimulate detoxification responses in the body. Many clients report feeling higher energy levels and improved daily comfort following their sessions, helping them become more aware of the connection between oxygenation and general physiological function. Though individual results vary, Ozone Sauna Therapy is one of Empower’s signature services and a solid introduction to the spa’s overarching wellness approach.

In addition to ozone therapy, Empower Wellness Spa offers a number of other treatments intended to support different aspects of physiological balance. These include red light-enhanced movement therapy, which is used to encourage cellular energy production; lymphatic-focused facial techniques, aimed at supporting facial circulation and movement; and Endospheres treatments for the face, which utilize mechanical stimulation. Each of these services is an example of the spa’s non-invasive, technology-supported modalities that encourage the body’s natural processes. Across the treatment menu, Empower’s objective is to use science-backed mechanisms in a way that help clients understand and support their own bodies. In this way, Empower’s offerings are not isolated treatments, but part of long-term wellness, with Hakopyan and her team often helping clients build structured treatment plans based on their personal needs and goals.

On Tuesday, February 10th, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, Empower Wellness Spa welcomed guests to its Encino location for the Elevated Soirée, an event that introduced attendees to the spa’s environment and most popular services. The gathering hosted a mix of wellness professionals, local creators, and influencers, creating an atmosphere focused on connection and conversation. More specifically, the spa was set up to encourage guests to explore its spaces and learn more about the treatments offered. Small bites, desserts, and champagne were available throughout the evening, and a live DJ provided music for a social environment. Guests explored the spa at their own pace while representatives from Empower answered questions, explained treatment mechanisms, and provided insight into how clients typically integrate services into their routines. “The event showcased our commitment to education, transparency, and results-driven care,” Hakopyan says. “Guests were able to see, feel, and understand how treatments like Ozone Sauna Therapy, Endospheres Therapy, and Red Light Therapy support the body from the inside out.”

The Elevated Soirée was also a platform for local creators and influencers to share their impressions of the spa. Many attendees documented the evening on their social channels, posting images and videos of the event setup and the gift bags provided at the end of the night. These posts helped introduce Empower Wellness Spa to wider audiences while giving potential clients a sense of what the spa looks like and how its treatments are presented. Guests received curated goodie bags featuring items from Empower Wellness Spa, Parfums de Marly, and additional event sponsors. The gift bags offered a mix of wellness-related and lifestyle-focused products, reinforcing the event’s purpose as a social gathering and an introduction to the spa’s branding.

“I hope events like this help shift the narrative around wellness,” Hakopyan expresses. “Non-invasive therapies are often underestimated, yet when supported by science and delivered consistently, they can produce meaningful, lasting results. By opening our doors and demonstrating the technology firsthand, we allow people to move beyond assumptions and experience the power of these treatments themselves.”

And as more individuals seek out wellness options that prioritize long-term health, Empower’s system-focused model stands out as an educational and approachable option. February’s Elevated Soirée provided insight as to how the spa engages with its community and introduces guests to the technologies behind its treatments. Through events like this, Empower Wellness Spa is increasing awareness around its mission and inviting new clients into a trustworthy wellness space.
