At The Bhakti House, we occasionally highlight organizations whose mission reflects values we believe enrich the lives of our community. While our nonprofit is rooted in Bhakti Yoga and devotional spirituality, we also recognize that the journey toward greater compassion, mindfulness, and self-awareness can take many meaningful forms.
One such organization is Lavande Spiritual Wellness Boutique in La Jolla, California.
Lavande has created more than a wellness boutique—it has become a sanctuary where people are encouraged to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and cultivate a deeper awareness of life’s spiritual dimensions. Rather than promising quick solutions, Lavande’s philosophy centers on the belief that healing is something awakened from within, a perspective that resonates with many timeless spiritual traditions.
Returning Home to Yourself
One phrase appears throughout Lavande’s mission:
“Guide people back home to themselves.”
It’s a simple statement, yet one with remarkable depth.
Modern life constantly pulls our attention outward—toward obligations, stress, achievement, comparison, and endless distractions. Many spiritual traditions teach that lasting peace begins by turning inward.
Lavande encourages that inward journey through intentional practices designed to help individuals reconnect with clarity, intuition, and their authentic selves. Their philosophy isn’t about becoming someone new; it’s about remembering who you have always been beneath the noise of everyday life.
A Holistic Approach to Wellness
Visitors will find a thoughtfully curated collection of experiences that support the whole person.
Lavande offers services such as:
- Energy healing
- Reiki
- Prana Healing
- Sound healing
- Intuitive guidance
- Workshops
- Private ceremonies
- Spiritual retreats
- Wellness products and conscious tools
Rather than viewing these offerings as isolated services, Lavande presents them as opportunities to cultivate greater awareness, release limiting patterns, and move toward a more intentional way of living.
Community Matters
One aspect of Lavande that particularly resonates with us is its emphasis on community.
Spiritual growth often flourishes when people gather with sincerity, openness, and mutual encouragement. Whether through workshops, group events, ceremonies, or retreats, Lavande seeks to create spaces where people can explore personal growth alongside others walking similar paths.
Although our own practices at The Bhakti House are centered on devotional yoga, mantra meditation, kirtan, and the teachings of Bhakti, we appreciate organizations that encourage people to live with greater compassion, intention, and awareness.
A Different Perspective on Healing
One statement from Lavande’s mission particularly stood out to us:
Healing is not something we do to people. It is something we help awaken within them.
Regardless of one’s spiritual tradition, there is something profoundly hopeful about this perspective.
It reminds us that wisdom, resilience, and transformation often emerge from within when we create the right environment for growth.
While our own understanding of spiritual healing is rooted in developing a loving relationship with Krishna through Bhakti Yoga, we also recognize that many people begin their spiritual journey simply by seeking greater peace, purpose, and inner clarity.
Every sincere step toward a more conscious life has value.
Meet the Founder
Lavande was founded by Krystia Rae, whose background includes Reiki Master training, Prana Healing, Sound Healing, speaking, and personal development. Her mission is to help individuals recognize the power they have to shape their own lives with greater intention, love, and authenticity.
Her emphasis on personal responsibility, conscious living, and creating supportive spaces has become a defining characteristic of Lavande’s growing community.
