Here’s How to Have the Ultimate Women’s Wellness Getaway in Nashville
Nashville is often known for its honky-tonks and late-night energy, but what most don’t know is that this city has so much more to offer…especially if you're looking for more elevated, wellness-focused time away.
Take it from Fairlane Hotel’s very own Director of Sales, Kim, who has called Nashville home since 2018. Over the years, she’s seen the city evolve into an entirely different destination – one that is transient, women-forward and FUN.
Her extensive experience in the hospitality industry and deep passion for helping guests experience Nashville in an elevated and meaningful way, makes her the perfect guide to show women how to navigate the city.
Whether you're here for a bridal party, a weekend with friends, or a solo escape, there are endless ways to indulge, recharge, and experience the city beyond Broadway this time of year. Read Kim’s recommendations of the best wellness experiences in Nashville for women to find peace and relaxation during their stay.
Winter Wellness in Nashville: The Kim Edition
With a goal of becoming the best version of herself in 2025, Kim is focusing on balance and boundaries, something many of us can relate to. When you have a full-time job, it’s easy for work to feel 24/7 – and though she loves the industry deeply, Kim can see why it’s important that some balance is healthy too.
To bring more balance into life, wellness is something Kim is embracing more of this year as she approaches the big 3-0! For her, this looks like:
01. Fitness - Kim says the solidcore and pilates classes she takes have been so good for her mental health. “It’s hard to get up and go in the morning but the feeling afterwards is worth it!”
02. Stackable Habits - Wellness isn’t always about doing full workouts. It’s often the little things throughout the day, like drinking more water, doing lunges while brushing her teeth, and adding in a nightly routine, that make her feel her best.
03. People - To better strengthen her boundaries, Kim has become very protective of WHO she allows in her space. She emphasizes surrounding oneself only with those who “fill your cup” and curating a group of people that root for you versus drain your energy.
04. FUN - With community and friends as part of her goals for 2025 , Kim and her girlfriends are participating in a fun activity- a hunt for the BEST espresso martinis in Nashville! So far, her favorites are made at:
Urban Cowboy - This boutique hotel’s public bar serves up a delicious espresso martini (and other choices), best enjoyed by the fire in their spacious outdoor area. It’s the perfect spot to cozy up on a chilly night.
Ellington’s Restaurant: Fairlane’s very own Ellington’s Restaurant makes for a “nice night for an evening”, where you’ll find Cal, who crafts the best espresso martini, according to Kim.
05. The Oliver Team - Kim says her internal work environment has a “start-up vibe” and encourages members to be healthy and to care for themselves, which often manifests into their job roles. The intimacy of a small team, while they can hunker down and get things done, also allows lots of room for compassion and having each other's back.
From the top down, starting with OHM’s Vice President of Sales and Revenue Strategies, Ashleigh, Kim feels each team member is down-to-earth, relatable, and she can come to them with both the good and the hard things.
“I’m not just a name on a list.”
Kim’s Must-Visit Wellness Businesses in Nashville

Southall Farms and Spa- Located on a gorgeous farm in Franklin, TN, this spa has everything from a steam room, sauna, mineral pool, meditation, and all the spa services you can think of. Truly a one of a kind experience that you can spend all day at.

If you take one thing from this guide, let it be this: If you’re traveling to Nashville to indulge in some you-time, don’t feel like you have to do everything in one visit.
