The art of getting things done, with Yvonne Stewart
What does a successful corporate executive do when she’s ready to stop traveling and start a second career? For Yvonne Stewart, the answer was to open Woodhouse Spa here in Flower Mound!
After spending decades in the beauty industry with companies like Bath & Body Works and Ulta, Yvonne was a vice president faced with the choice of where to move to handle her regional responsibilities. Flower Mound won her vote with its wonderful residents and easy access to the DFW airport.
When she learned about a franchise spa opportunity right as her kids were finishing college, Yvonne knew it was time for a change. She signed on the dotted line and looked all around the Dallas area for the perfect location for her new spa. You guessed it, Flower Mound fit the bill! Woodhouse Spa is located in the Shops at Highland Village, right on the edge of our town.
Yvonne loves seeing how guests really anticipate the relaxing experience and plan to spend time slowing down and rejuvenating themselves. As they get a massage, nail service, or facial, it’s a chance to disconnect and decompress.
One of the biggest surprises in the business has been the way her family’s involvement has evolved. Her husband as well as both of their daughters are there almost every day, and Yvonne is grateful for the skills they bring to the table, especially when it comes to tech! It’s truly a family-operated business.
With the traveling part of her career over, Yvonne was eager to get plugged in as a business owner in the community. She chose the Flower Mound Chamber and Rotary, and has built valuable friendships and connections over the years. The way she and her husband have been welcomed by life-long residents is so warming to hear about. They have found plenty of new ways to stay active.
Yvonne's plan is to stay here long term, which means the Woodhouse Spa will be a part of our wonderful community for many years to come.
