7. Celebrating the Doyenne: Dr. Madhuri Agarwal

“For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.” ~ Virginia Woolf. On this International Women’s Day, GlobalSpa recognizes and celebrates the women in the industry as we delve into their success mantra they follow, mistakes that have helped them grow, and of course, their WELLNESS philosophy.

An aesthetic dermatologist with over 16 years of experience, Dr. Madhuri is the Medical Director & CEO of Yavana Aesthetics Clinic.

What is your wellness philosophy?

My wellness philosophy is a holistic approach to both physical and mental wellbeing. I believe and recommend that your wellness is a daily affair which should involve addressing physical and mental stressors by lifestyle modifications. I adopt a policy of self-care which besides physical and mental wellness encompasses spiritual ,occupational,social and environmental wellbeing too.

Your success mantra?

Success mantra is for me a dynamic status. I started with a dream and a plan to achieve it. Just a dream is not enough,you need steps to achieve it. I also know that life is uncertain and unexpected challenges can occur which may disrupt the plan. So I don’t give up and adapt myself to the situation with a positive outlook .

A lesson you learned from making a mistake?

Mistakes happen, but I learnt that life and your dreams don’t end with that mistake. Once you accept and overcome that notion, you can be unstoppable. It gives you a newfound confidence to be kinder to yourself and forge ahead in life.

Any piece of advice for all the women out there?

Be kind to yourself and others as everyone is fighting their own obstacles. The other thing I always advise is the happiness and joy in your eyes and the confidence in oneself is the best beauty recipe.

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

My biggest pride as a doyenne is I have brought a smile to the faces of many through my profession as a physician and as a woman. It is not only about aesthetics or improving skin or hair; it is about empowering the individual with self worth and faith to face the world.
