Today we’d like to introduce you to Wendi Hardage.
Wendi, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
Like many entrepreneurs, my story is one of answering a calling. I’ve worked as a consultant for one of the nations largest body care brands, as a Healthy Eating Specialist for Whole Foods, co-owned Memphis’ #1 boutique and as an Intro Spa Educator for Aveda here in Dallas. I’ve always been the one others turned to for holistic beauty and wellness guidance. It was in my last corporate position as a Spa Educator that I really felt it was time to create a sanctuary that offered deeply healing spa treatments using the cleanest skincare available. Thus, Misaotra was manifested.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Absolutely not! Just taking the leap to create a business of such depth and putting myself out there in a city where I knew virtually, no one took courage and faith. Learning to live without having a steady paycheck and going through a divorce was extremely awakening the first year of business too. But, every challenge has been a lesson and strengthened the core of Misaotra. Every moment’s a blessing.
Misaotra Beauty Sanctuary – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
Misaotra Beauty Sanctuary is deeply grounded in integrity and authenticity. As the green beauty industry grows, it can be difficult for consumers to sift through the “green washing” and know what’s really best for their skin and spirit. My students used to call me, “The CIA of beauty” because I dig deep and ask questions others don’t think to about ingredients and the sustainability of real results. My clients would agree. Honesty and transparency is something my clients can always count on.
Misaotra specializes in offering ecolux spa treatments that approach skin health not just externally but internally as well. A truly wholistic approach to aging more vibrantly and living a conscious life in harmony with nature. I am one of very few in Dallas certified in Gua Sha using the patented Nefeli Agate and Jade tool and soon to be certified in Italian Facial Reflexology known as Dien Chan Zone®️ this Spring. Other modalities used to lift, firm and brighten the skin are Kansa from India, acupressure and facial cupping. Some of my clients say it’s just magic. I’m flattered by this claim but I know it’s just the magic of the body’s own healing capabilities being awakened through skilled loving hands. Pair these high vibe healing modalities with one of the cleanest skincare lines available and you get amazing results every time. Misaotra is so proud to be the only Laurel Whole Plant Organics partner in Dallas. My clients have fallen in love with this Sausalito, Cali based brand and I can barely replenish stock fast enough! It’s truly a revolution in organic skincare.
I’m so proud to have been chosen by the universe to create Misaotra. Many women (and a few men even) have achieved their best skin and get monthly stress relief within her walls. It’s also very healing and relaxing for me. Everyday when I leave, I look about the space and thank her for existing and delivering yet another amazing day of services.
What moment in your career do you look back most fondly on?
The fact that my work and my life are one brings me such joy! I get to design my life with my daughter and be an example for her and others that we all have the capacity for greatness and to heal. A true Beauty Guru teaches you how to be the teacher. Education is such a key point of difference of Misaotra. It’s important to me that each client learns to listen to their skin and body. I’m so honored to be part of their path to wellness and better aging.
