NATURE TAKES PRECEDENCE AT Poppy and Someday, an Ayurvedainspired sanctuary with a bohemian vibe tucked away in Los Angeles' Laurel Canyon neighborhood. Whitewashed wooden walls present a calming backdrop. Glass jars of varied tonics, tinctures, and other botanical infusions line the shelves. Dried herbs perfume the air. Open sliding barn doors lend the space ample light as well as a view of the courtyard garden and its clawfoot tub.
"I wanted to create a grounding place," explains Kari Jansen, owner and operator of the restorative space. “And I wanted it to be a spalike environment where I could bring together everything I've learned."
An herbalist and Ayurvedic practitioner since 2006, Jansen is a strong advocate for achieving balance through nature. An interest in yoga prompted her to study Ayurveda and eventually travel to India, where she learned traditional approaches to healing. She then incorporated those teachings, along with her lifelong interest in the medicinal properties of plants and the vitality of botanicals, into both her bodywork practice and her handcrafted herbal body care products.
