Planning for the holidays can sometimes be stressful. Between trips to the mall, market and, in some cases, the airport, folks can find themselves deep in the throes of hustle and bustle rather than enjoying the seasonal cheer. In between all the decorating, gift purchasing and meal prepping, you must remember to shower yourself with a healthy dose of self-care. Luckily, Mount Pleasant is home to some of the most ideal places to unwind, exhale and get pampered. Think of this list as your guide through the consumer chaos that dominates the season. Have that one family member who’s pretty near impossible to shop for? Give the gift of relaxation. Picking up a spa gift card for a loved one and wiping away some of your own stress in the process – talk about killing two birds with one hot stone massage.
The Woodhouse Day Spa
The name alone conjures up an image of a cedar-laden abode high in the Swiss Alps. Fortunately, you can save on airfare and experience this resort-like spa right here in the Lowcountry.
“When a new guest walks in, they are blown away by how luxurious the spa is and how attentive we are,” said Woodhouse Day Spa owner Kimberly Powell. “We love welcoming our guests. They love the complimentary glass of wine, the heated lavender neck wrap and fireside relaxation room.”
Offering a number of services, Woodhouse provides a cure for just about all that ails. From sleep treatments that incorporate the use of therapeutic sound and essential oils to age-defying seaweed facials, the possibilities are endless.
“The Woodhouse Day Spa gift card truly makes the perfect gift,” said Powell. “This allows the recipient to come in and select the perfect service for them and enjoy the spa.”
For those that truly want to feel the bliss there is “The Woodhouse Experience” – five hours and 15 minutes of some of the best treatments offered. Enjoy a four-handed massage, a Minkyti facial and finish off the day with delicious food meant to delight your senses.
“Woodhouse Day Spa is a boutique franchise, and the CEO and amazing team at headquarters devote a great deal of time into making sure we are always offering the latest and most results-oriented and relaxing treatments for our guests,” said Powell. “Dr. Linda Torrey, with a Ph.D. in Ayurvedics, helps develop world-class protocols for Woodhouse Day Spa.”
Want to experience the pampering with a partner? “Two’s Company” consists of duet Swedish massages and warm agave nectar pedicures. Leave feeling renewed and rejuvenated in a way you never knew you could.
“We will have several holiday promotions throughout the season,” said Powell. “Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the two weeks prior to Christmas we will promote by email and on our Facebook page.”
