A passion for skincare and a desire to build a successful business led Kristian Sextro to open Pavitra Organic Day Spa in McKinney.

Sextro opened the spa in 2010 and while the business has been in its current location since 2018, Pavitra Organic Day Spa has always been located in Downtown McKinney, she said.

Recently, Sextro expanded the business, opening a second location in Denison in August 2023.

The backstory

Sextro, an esthetician by trade, said she worked in the industry for five years before she decided to open the spa.


“My passion was definitely the skin care industry,” Sextro said. “I just decided to branch out ... and build my own clientele.”

Sextro said she had a vision for what the spa could be and it felt like the right time to execute on that vision.

What they offer

Pavitra Organic Day Spa offers over 75 services in several different categories, Sextro said, including facials, massage and body services such as scrubs and wraps, each with several methods from which customers can choose.


“There are different types of massage or facials to suit all skin types,” Sextro said.

Facial services include a focus on anti-aging, acne and more. A number of massage types are offered, including:
  • Deep tissue
  • Swedish
  • Prenatal
  • Hot stone
What’s special about it?

The spa offers several custom packages for group gatherings such as bridal showers, bachelorette parties or other special events. Sextro said that some packages include lunch from Patina Green, a sandwich shop also located in Downtown.

Additionally, Sextro said because Pavitra Organic Day Spa offers so many services, customers can customize their experience in ways they can’t at other spas.


“It’s hard to go to a spa and create your day with your specific service,” Sextro said. “We’re willing to customize any of our services for the client.”
