Meet Vasudha

We recently connected with Vasudha and have shared our conversation below.

Vasudha, we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?

My confidence and self-esteem didn’t come overnight—it has been a journey filled with learning, challenges, and growth. When I started Shreeta Salon & Spa, I didn’t have a business background. I come from a working-class family, and I built everything from scratch in a new country with new responsibilities.

What gave me the courage to move forward was my deep passion for helping people through natural and herbal beauty care—something I learned from my parents and carried in my heart since childhood. Each client who trusted me, appreciated my work, and returned with kind words became a source of strength.

Over time, their love and support gave me the confidence to believe in myself more. My clients are not just customers—they are part of my journey. Their faith in my work motivates me every day and keeps me going, even when things feel tough.

I’ve learned that self-esteem doesn’t mean being perfect—it means showing up, staying honest, learning as you go, and never giving up on your purpose.

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

I run Shreeta Salon & Spa in Stevensville, where we focus on natural, herbal, and chemical-free beauty care. My journey started from a very personal place—growing up in a home where my father practiced Ayurveda and believed in healing through nature. That early exposure shaped my values and eventually turned into the foundation of my salon.

What makes Shreeta Salon & Spa special is the intention behind it. It’s not just about looking good—it’s about feeling good, naturally. Every product I use is carefully selected to support healthy skin and hair without harsh chemicals. I’ve seen so many people struggle with damage from chemical treatments, and my goal is to offer a safer, gentler alternative through facials, hair spas, herbal henna, and oil therapies.

What excites me most is watching people rediscover their natural beauty and feel confident again. I love when clients come back and say, “My skin feels alive,” or “My hair is finally growing healthy again.” That’s when I know this work has meaning.

Right now, I’m also focused on creating more awareness through community engagement and educational content. I’m slowly working on building a space online—like YouTube and social media—where I can share herbal tips, natural remedies, and self-care routines people can try at home. We are also continuing to expand our service offerings, like customized herbal facials and scalp-focused treatments.

And above all, I want people to know that this salon is built with heart. Every client’s story, every transformation—they all mean something to me. I feel honored to be part of their journey toward healing and self-care.

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, I believe these three qualities have played the biggest role in my journey:

Patience – Building something from scratch takes time, especially when you’re trying to introduce something different like herbal, chemical-free beauty care. There were days I felt like giving up, but patience helped me stay steady and keep going, even when things moved slowly.
Advice: Don’t rush the process. Growth doesn’t happen overnight. Trust your efforts and keep showing up.

Willingness to Learn – I didn’t come from a business background. I had to learn everything—from how to talk to clients to how to manage bookings and market my services. I’m still learning every day.
Advice: Stay open and curious. Ask questions, watch others, take small courses—even mistakes can teach you something valuable.

Belief in My Purpose – I truly believe in what I do and why I do it. That belief helps me stay confident, even when challenges come. Knowing that I’m helping people with safe, natural care gives me strength.
Advice: Find your “why” and hold onto it. When you believe in your mission, people around you will start to believe in it too.

And most importantly, I’d say to those just starting: surround yourself with supportive people, whether it’s family, friends, or kind clients. Their love and encouragement have been my biggest strength.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?

Yes, I’m definitely open to collaborations and would love to connect with people who believe in natural wellness and holistic beauty just like I do.

I’m especially interested in working with:

Ayurveda or herbal product makers who align with our chemical-free mission

Wellness professionals such as yoga instructors, nutritionists, or herbalists who focus on healing from the inside out

Local artists, photographers, or storytellers who want to promote self-care, clean beauty, and community wellness

And those in marketing or small business support who are passionate about helping local, purpose-driven businesses grow

If anyone reading this feels connected to my journey or the values behind Shreeta Salon & Spa, I’d truly love to hear from you.

You can reach me at [email protected], call or text me at 269-332-0776, or visit www.shreetabeauty.com.

Let’s work together to make this world chemical-free and protect both people’s health and our environment. 🌿
