We had the good fortune of connecting with Alyshah Vishram and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alyshah, is there something you believe many others might not?
Achieving balance in every aspect of life is often seen as the ideal, but I’ve come to realize it’s work-life balance is a myth. As a mom of two little ones under four, I’ve embraced the concept of work-life integration instead. Some days, my business demands late nights and early mornings; on others, my kids need my full attention, and I prioritize them over work. It’s a constant ebb and flow, but this approach allows me to stay present and focused on what matters most in the moment.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Spa Theory was born in the midst of the pandemic, driven by a mission to redefine self-care. We specialize in bringing professional, personalized spa services directly to our clients’ doorsteps, making wellness accessible and convenient for everyone. Over the past four years, our business has grown steadily, and I’m incredibly proud of how far we’ve come.

What truly sets us apart is the dual focus of our business: on one hand, we deliver an exceptional self-care experience to clients, and on the other, we empower independent contractors to thrive. Our providers don’t have to worry about logistics, marketing, or scheduling—they can concentrate on their craft while enjoying the flexibility of being their own boss without the overhead of managing a business.

My personal journey with Spa Theory has been as much about personal growth as professional success. I’ve built this business while being pregnant twice, balancing the demands of entrepreneurship with motherhood. It wasn’t easy—there were countless sleepless nights, unexpected challenges, and moments of doubt—but these experiences taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of asking for help when needed.

One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned is the power of community. Whether it’s our clients, our team of talented providers, or my own support system, Spa Theory thrives because of the relationships we’ve built.

At the heart of it all, Spa Theory is about transforming how people view self-care. It’s not a luxury; it’s a necessity. I want the world to know that our story is about prioritizing well-being, empowering individuals, and creating meaningful connections. Spa Theory is more than just a business—it’s a movement to make wellness an integral part of everyday life

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend visited Houston for a week, I’d make sure they fell in love with this city! We’d start with breakfast at The Breakfast Klub for their legendary chicken and waffles, followed by exploring the Museum District or Space Center Houston. For lunch, we’d dive into Houston’s amazing South Asian food scene—Pondicheri for modern Indian dishes, or Agha’s for delicious Pakistani cuisine.

Evenings would be all about family-friendly fun—biking at Buffalo Bayou Park, strolling through Discovery Green, or enjoying the rides and waterfront views at the Kemah Boardwalk. We’d also explore The Heights for its quirky shops and colorful street art. Houston’s mix of incredible food, vibrant culture, and fun outdoor spots makes it unforgettable!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Success is never achieved alone, and I am so grateful for the incredible individuals who have played a pivotal role in my journey. I want to take this opportunity to dedicate my shoutout to some extraordinary people who have shaped my path and inspired me to reach for new heights.
First, Tony Robbins and Suneera Madhani deserve immense recognition. Tony Robbins has been a beacon of motivation, showing me that no dream is too big and no obstacle too insurmountable. Suneera Madhani has been a personal mentor, demonstrating what’s possible through her own inspiring journey and providing guidance that has been invaluable to me as an entrepreneur.

I also want to thank my family, who have been my unwavering foundation. My parents have been my constant source of strength and encouragement, always believing in my vision even when times were challenging. My sister has been a pillar of support, cheering me on every step of the way. To my husband, thank you for your steadfast partnership, love, and belief in me—you’ve been my rock through it all. And finally, to my kids, who are my greatest inspiration. You remind me every day why I’m pursuing this dream—to create a better future and lead by example.

Each of these individuals has profoundly influenced my journey, and Spa Theory would not be where it is today without their love, guidance, and belief in me. This success is truly a shared achievement, and I am forever grateful for their presence in my life.
