Meet Heather Gordon

We recently connected with Heather Gordon and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Heather, so happy to have you on the platform and I think our readers are in for a treat because you’ve got such an interesting story and so much insight and wisdom. So, let’s start with a topic that is relevant to everyone, regardless of industry etc. What do you do for self-care and how has it impacted you?

As a spa owner in Austin, Texas, I understand the profound importance of self-care, especially when working in the self-care industry. My personal self-care routine includes spending ample time in nature, whether it’s hiking or enjoying solitude in the woods. I regularly use infrared saunas, take cold plunges, practice yoga, meditate, and embrace mindfulness. Regular massages and maintaining a healthy diet are integral parts of my regimen, along with ensuring I get plenty of sleep. These rituals are essential not only for my well-being but also for enabling me to show up as my best self in the workplace. By prioritizing self-care, I enhance my focus, reduce stress, and boost my energy levels, which translates into a more effective and empathetic approach to managing my spa and serving my clients.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

Heather Gordon, the owner of Heather Gordon Spa and Wellness in Austin, Texas, is a dynamic entrepreneur with a deep passion for the intricate beauty of life’s dualities and mysteries. With an insatiable curiosity for science, learning, and artistry, Heather has crafted a unique and unconventional spa experience.

Founded in 2009 as “Heather Gordon Skincare and Waxing,” the spa has evolved into a sanctuary known for its transformative rituals and expert skincare services. Now located at 2919 Menchaca Road, the spa offers a wide range of treatments, from facials and Lashes to body contouring and cosmetic tattoos. Each service is designed to support not only the skin and body but also the mind and spirit, embodying Heather’s belief that wellness is a comprehensive journey.

Heather’s personal story is as captivating as the services she offers. An adventurer at heart, she finds solace in nature, often hiking, exploring abandoned places, and embarking on backpacking trips around the globe. This connection to the natural world informs her approach to wellness, emphasizing the importance of balance and inner peace.

Professionally, Heather is excited about the continuous growth and expansion of her spa. The recent addition of spa memberships and the development of specialized rituals have positioned Heather Gordon Spa and Wellness as a leader in the Austin wellness community.

Heather Gordon Spa and Wellness is more than a place for skincare; it is a haven where science, art, and results converge to offer unparalleled beauty and wellness experiences. This blend of expertise, passion, and innovation makes Heather’s spa a standout destination for anyone seeking to rejuvenate both body and soul.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Looking back on my journey, three qualities have significantly impacted my growth and success: resilience, persistence, and a commitment to lifelong learning.

Resilience has been crucial in navigating the unpredictable challenges of the wellness industry. From the early days of establishing Heather Gordon Spa & Wellness as a small one-room office on South 1st Street in 2009 to expanding to our current location at 2919 Menchaca Road, Austin, the journey has been filled with ups and downs. Building resilience means embracing failures as learning opportunities and maintaining a positive outlook despite setbacks. For new entrepreneurs, developing resilience involves cultivating a strong support system, practicing self-care, and staying adaptable to change.

Persistence is another cornerstone of my journey. The growth of Heather Gordon Spa & Wellness required and still requires relentless effort and determination. Persistence means setting clear goals, working consistently towards them, and not giving up when faced with obstacles. For those starting their entrepreneurial journey, it’s important to stay focused on your vision, celebrate small victories, and keep pushing forward even when progress seems slow.

Never stop learning. This mantra has driven my professional development and the evolution of our spa. The world of skincare and wellness is ever-changing, with new technologies and techniques emerging regularly. Staying curious and committed to continuous learning has allowed us to offer new services and maintain high standards of care. I encourage new entrepreneurs to invest in their education, attend classes, connect with others in your niche and stay updated with industry trends. This not only enhances your skill set but also keeps your business innovative and competitive.

By embracing resilience, persistence, and continuous learning, you can navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship and achieve long-term success. These qualities have been instrumental in my journey and continue to inspire the growth and excellence of Heather Gordon Spa & Wellness​.
