• Madalyn "May" Hethcote (Owner, Holistic Esthetician + Massage Therapist)

    My passion for beauty and wellness started from a young age. I enjoyed the creativity of makeup, I tried thousands of products on the market to treat my acne prone and eczema ridden skin. I took a deep dive into my health after my dad passed away from cancer and I was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer myself.

    After high school I attended the Denver School of Botanical and Medical Esthetics. I quickly fell in love with the spa industry and wanted to treat the skin more than just the face. I knew most skin conditions had underlying causes or triggers that went beyond treating the skin alone. I attended school at Higher Elevation Healing Arts to become a massage therapist as well.

    Since then I've found products and treatments that have helped me along my health and wellness journey and I couldn't be more thankful for that I get to share that with the world.

    In the treatment room I aim to guide everyone on their own wellness journey. I truly want everyone to be able to feel their most beautiful self, their most healed and taken care of self, their most well self.

    I chose the name Bhava because it means a state of peace or bliss and I want everyone to feel that when they come here. When they trust us with their health.

    It may have taken me years to find products that are safe and clean without compromising performance or luxury. Sunscreen that isn’t white and chalky, deodorant that actually works, makeup that covers a blemish, shampoo that doesn’t smell like apple cider vinegar- free of parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals, endocrine disruptors or other toxic chemicals, and were not tested on animals. I promise you don't have to give up your favorite products, we’ve found a safer alternative.

    I hope you find your state of peace here at Bhava, just like I have.

    Whitney discovered the world of holistic beauty and wellness in her early 20's and ever since has wanted to keep learning more about it and sharing that with others. She truly believes that our skin and bodies are a precious vessel that are meant to be taken care of in the most natural ways.
