In the recent spring issue of Charleston Home + Design, we dive into the beautifully curated life of Kimmy Powell, owner of Woodhouse Spa. Kimmy’s Daniel Island home embodies the essence of wellness in an oasis carefully designed to help her pause, recharge, and reconnect.
After a decade downtown and anticipating the arrival of their second grandchild, Kimmy and her husband sought a waterfront sanctuary equipped with modern conveniences like an elevator, boat dock, and a pool, perfectly tailored for their family and aging parents. Their new home, infused with vibrant colors, natural textures, and thoughtful design details by experts like Aldous Bertram, reflects Kimmy’s philosophy of creating vacation-like spaces at home, highlighting natural light, comfort, and tranquility.
Wellness extends beyond her interiors. Kimmy, the visionary behind Woodhouse Spa, emphasizes that self-care and relaxation are essential, not merely luxuries. Her spas offer transformative experiences, integrating advanced treatments like hydromassage, vibroacoustic anti-gravity chairs, infrared sauna therapy, and innovative HydraFacials, ensuring guests leave refreshed and revitalized. Beyond interiors and spas, Kimmy shares insights from her book The Passion Purpose Project, in which she encourages readers to approach life as a purposeful project filled with authenticity and intention. She advocates living deliberately, focusing on where you want to be, and thoughtfully structuring your time to achieve your goals.
