Tell us about your business and the role you play in it.

At Sonali Devesh Wellness Spa, I am deeply committed to empowering women of all ages and ethnicities by offering holistic, non-invasive skincare treatments thoughtfully integrated with the ancient science of Ayurveda. My mission is to elevate the innate beauty of every woman, cultivating self-love while nurturing their overall well-being.

Founded in Western North Carolina in 2020, my woman-owned business offers a safe and welcoming space where women can embrace self-care while nurturing their mind, body, and spirit. Each treatment begins with guided breathwork to calm the mind and prepare the body for deep relaxation and rejuvenation. My goal is to create a supportive space where every woman feels valued in her journey toward holistic well-being.

My Role:

As a dual-licensed Holistic Master Aesthetician and Cosmetologist, I understand that every woman’s skin tells a unique story. Whether navigating hormonal changes, embracing healthy aging, or overcoming environmental stressors, I create personalized treatments that address each client’s individual needs.

I specialize in 100% certified organic and natural skincare treatments, ensuring that every product and treatment is safe, effective, and free from harmful chemicals.

My services include:

• Lymphatic Drainage Facelift
• Oxygen Glow Therapy
• Medical-Grade Peels
• Dermaplaning
• Non-Invasive Facelift
• All-In-One Treatment

Each service is designed to rejuvenate and promote enhanced skin health.

Additionally, I offer a curated selection of organic and natural skincare products designed to promote healthy, radiant skin. After every treatment, I educate my clients on at-home care to maintain progressive skin health and emphasize the importance of nutrition in supporting overall wellness.

To help my clients achieve optimal skin health and sensory calm, I’ve formulated a unique complexion booster that combines 24 potent herbs and oils to deeply nourish and enhance the skin’s natural glow. This versatile Glow Oil can also be used as a lip treatment, cuticle care, or an all-over skin treatment.

My goal: To foster an environment where women feel empowered, appreciated, and nurtured on their path to holistic well-being—because every woman deserves to embrace her fullest potential and shine from within.

How did you come up with your idea or concept for your business? How did you decide on a name?

Growing up, I was fascinated by skincare, creating my own beauty recipes using spices, herbs, seeds, and oils from home. My grandmother introduced me to Ayurvedic traditions, emphasizing a holistic approach to health that nurtures the mind, body, and soul.

As I deepened my understanding of Ayurveda, I realized my passion for combining natural ingredients with skincare practices, which led me to launch Sonali Devesh Wellness Spa in 2020.

The name “Sonali Devesh” holds personal meaning:

• “Sonali” means golden in ancient Sanskrit, symbolizing warmth and radiance.
• “Devesh” means divine healing, aligning with my vision of holistic beauty and wellness.

At Sonali Devesh Wellness Spa, I aim to help women nurture their skin and embrace a healthy, balanced lifestyle rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom.

What makes your business unique in its field?

At Sonali Devesh Wellness Spa, my offerings blend ancient Ayurvedic techniques with modern technology, creating a unique approach to natural skincare treatments that promote a healthy lifestyle.

In a world dominated by injectables and surgeries, I offer 100% certified organic and natural products, ensuring safe, chemical-free results as a natural alternative to enhance beauty from within.

My approach goes beyond skincare—I focus on nurturing the mind, body, and spirit, educating clients on at-home care and nutrition for a complete wellness experience.

A key element of my signature approach is guided breathwork at the beginning of every treatment, creating a calming and relaxing atmosphere that sets my spa apart.

My goal is to provide transformative skincare while fostering empowerment and self-love in every woman who walks through my doors.

How many employees do you have? What qualities do you look for when hiring?

I am the sole practitioner at Sonali Devesh Wellness Spa, allowing me to personally connect with each client and deliver all treatments and services.

If I expand in the future, I would seek individuals who:

• Share my passion for holistic skincare and well-being
• Have a strong understanding of natural skincare practices
• Are compassionate, client-focused, and committed to continuous learning
• Resonate with my mission to empower and nurture every client

During your first year of business, what was the greatest lesson you learned?

My greatest lesson was the importance of building meaningful relationships with my clients. While technical skills are essential, it’s the human connection that leads to long-term success.

• Understanding each client’s unique needs and building trust helped create a loyal client base.
• Effective communication with both clients and suppliers ensures smooth operations.
• Balancing the business side with maintaining high-quality care was challenging but reinforced my commitment to continual growth.

Ultimately, patience, consistency, and staying true to my values helped me navigate the ups and downs of running a business.

Where do you see your business in the next year? The next five?

In the next year, I plan to:

• Expand my client base and enhance personalized skincare treatments
• Introduce more wellness-focused services
• Grow my product line, particularly expanding my Glow Oil offerings

In the next five years, I envision my spa as:

• A trusted wellness destination, known for combining Ayurveda with modern skincare
• Collaborating with like-minded wellness professionals
• Expanding my reach through online services and holistic skincare products
• Educating more women about natural beauty and self-care

Why did you decide to join the Chamber?

I joined the Chamber because I am passionate about building a supportive community for women. I believe the Chamber provides valuable opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals and businesses.

After meeting Jessica Kanupp, I was inspired by her vision and enthusiasm for supporting local businesses, which resonated deeply with me.

What is your favorite part about doing business in the Asheville area?

I love Asheville’s strong sense of community and appreciation for holistic wellness. People here value natural, mindful living, making it the perfect place for my spa.

I enjoy connecting with women who seek not just skincare treatments, but a deeper, more meaningful approach to self-care. The supportive local community makes my work incredibly fulfilling.

Is there anything else you’d like to share about your business?

As I continue to grow Sonali Devesh Wellness Spa, I strive to make women feel special, loved, and uplifted.

One of my upcoming initiatives is hosting workshops where women can:

• Create DIY face masks and natural skincare treatments
• Learn about holistic skincare
• Connect with like-minded women in a meaningful way

I look forward to fostering a community of self-care, empowerment, and holistic well-being.
