Andrea’s Favorite Self-Care Spots for Women in Nashville

  • Nashville Downtown Library

    If you haven’t spent a morning at the downtown library, please do yourself a favor and go. The architecture is stunning, the reading rooms are peaceful, and there’s such a comforting hum of people who are all there to learn or read. I love working or reading and sitting by the big windows — it’s such a grounding reset.

  • Richland Park Tennis Courts

    Movement is one of my favorite forms of self-care, and there’s something about playing tennis outside that instantly lifts my mood. The Richland Park courts are surrounded by trees and right in the middle of the park. Even just hitting a few balls is enough to clear my head.

  • GasLamp Antiques

    GasLamp feels like a treasure hunt every time. I could spend hours wandering through aisles of vintage finds and amazing home pieces. It’s so fun to sift through all of the rattan and incredible old furniture which, to me, is a huge part of self-care too.

  • McCabe Park

    I come here for walks with Georgia! The trails wind through greenery, around the golf course, and there’s this lovely mix of people walking dogs, jogging, or just enjoying the day. It’s a gentle reminder that rest doesn’t have to be complicated — sometimes it’s just taking a walk outside.

  • Bucca Reflexology

    This one’s a total treat. It’s my favorite place when I need to unwind completely. The massages at Bucca are incredible, and it’s such a calming, sensory reset. If your body feels tense from stress (or life in general), this spot works wonders.

  • McKay's Used Books

    I love losing track of time here, finding books I’ve been wanting to read or a standout coffee table book. It’s so fun and feels like the perfect place to escape the noise of the day.
