“Love the Life You Live.”
Although short and simple, this sentence contains a powerful sentiment – the concept of loving oneself. After all, life is precious, and we should all enjoy our lives as we go through it.
The sentence is also the motto for Vita Aesthetics, the Midstate’s premier medical aesthetics spa located in Gallatin. Since 2019, Vita has been helping women in the community feel beautiful, confident and empowered through advanced skincare, wellness and rejuvenation techniques.
To find out a bit more about Vita, Hendersonville Lifestyle sat down with founder and CEO Gina Vanderveldt. Along with being the owner of her company, Gina is also a registered nurse who is certified as both a Family Nurse Practitioner and an Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner.
How did you decide to start Vita?
“The inspiration for Vita was deeply personal for me. While the initial idea began forming in 2018, it wasn’t until 2019, during my mother’s courageous battle with cancer, that I knew I had to bring my vision to life.
As my mother’s health declined and her self-esteem faltered with the physical effects of treatment, I made it my mission to help her feel beautiful again. I gave her facials and I found her the perfect wigs – small acts of care that brought her comfort, and restored her sense of confidence.
Those moments planted the seeds for Vita. ‘Vita,’ meaning ‘life’ in Italian, is a tribute to my mother—the woman who always encouraged me to follow her dreams. Through Vita I honor my mother’s legacy by helping other women feel as beautiful and strong as my mother always was to me.”
How did you select your location?
“Vita is proudly located in Gallatin, Tennessee, my home since 2008, and the heart of my community. Choosing Gallatin was intentional; I wanted to build something meaningful where I could give back by empowering the women in my own community. I also wanted women in Sumner County to have a premier location for aesthetics and wellness right in their backyard.”
What services are offered by Vita?
“At Vita, we offer a wide range of personalized aesthetic and wellness services. From cutting-edge skin treatments to holistic care, every service is customized to enhance natural beauty, restore confidence, and promote overall well-being. Education plays a big role too – clients are guided through every step so they can make informed decisions about their skin health.”
What are your most popular services?
“Our most loved services are those that bring visible, transformative results while making our clients feel pampered and understood. Though specifics vary based on individual needs, tailored skincare treatments and rejuvenating facials are especially popular, with each designed to match inner wellness with outer radiance. We offer facial treatments, laser and injectable services, weight loss and hormone replacement therapy.”
What is the difference between a medical spa as opposed to a non-medical spa?
“At Vita, client safety and optimal results are top priorities. As an experienced nurse practitioner, I ensure that every treatment is grounded in sound clinical knowledge.”
What are some recommendations for healthier skin?
“Knowledge is power when it comes to skincare. At Vita, we educate clients about their skin, the products they use and the treatments that suit their unique needs. Consistency, hydration, sun protection and professional guidance all play vital roles. We believe in empowering clients to take care of their skin with intention and love.”
What differentiates Vita from other practices?
“Vita is more than a medical spa – it’s a sanctuary of self-love and transformation. What sets us apart is our story, our heart and our deep commitment to empowering each client. Every treatment is infused with compassion, tailored expertise and a genuine desire to help people feel their best.
Remember, our motto is ‘Love the Life You Live,’ and we truly mean it. This isn’t just about looking good on the outside. It’s about rediscovering confidence, healing from within and embracing your natural beauty with pride. Every client who walks through our doors becomes part of our story, and and we’re honored to walk beside them.”
