Who We Are

Our Story

Some great partnerships start with a handshake.
Ours began with a Massage Therapy appointment.

It all started over six years ago when Angie became one of Micki’s devoted clients. As the years passed, whispers of Micki’s retirement started floating around. What Micki didn’t realize was that the spirited blonde had a different vision. Over dinner and a glass of wine (okay, maybe two), Angie posed a question that would shift everything—and spark a shared dream neither of them could ignore.

That night turned into a plan: Instead of retiring, Micki would continue her private massage practice—doing what she truly loves—while teaming up with Angie to create something completely new. Together, they envisioned a full-service day spa unlike anything Manitowoc’s lakeshore had ever seen.

Angie is a seasoned accountant with over 25 years of experience, including the past 9 years of leading the financial operations of a growing company. She brought her spreadsheets to the table - and the spark that lit this adventure on fire. With self-care as a non-negotiable priority, she went on to become certified as an Integrative Health Coach, Ayurvedic Health Teacher, and Reiki II Practitioner. These days, she's just as likely to be balancing chakras as she is balancing books.

Micki, an accomplished Massage Practitioner with 40 years of experience in the wellness industry, brings a wealth of spa-world knowledge and the wisdom of business ownership to the table. A talented designer, she’s known for creating spaces that are as beautiful as they are intentional. Inspired by Angie’s spark, Micki’s drive has been ignited—setting the pace and thoughtfully guiding the team toward a seamless and successful launch. Her passion for teaching continues as she mentors their growing team, ensuring every detail reflects the highest standards of skill, cohesion, and guest-centered care.

Together, these two wildflowers—rooted in a united purpose—planted the vision for The Woodlands Day Spa & Retreat: A sanctuary where the community can relax, reconnect, and recharge. Guided by the rhythms of nature and grounded in the healing power of organic, earth-honoring practices, every detail is designed to nourish the soul.

It’s a little bit business, a little bit boho… and a whole lot of heart.
