Menopause Retreat - 7 nights (29 Jan 23 - 05 Feb 23)

PRESSING ‘PAUSE’ IN PARADISE

THE EXCLUSIVE MISKAWAAN MENOPAUSE RETREAT

“So many women I've talked to see the menopause as an ending. But I've discovered this is your moment to reinvent yourself after years of focusing on the needs of everyone else. It's your opportunity to get clear about what matters to you and then to pursue that with all of your energy, time and talent.” – TV personality Oprah Winfrey.

“If you deal with it in a healthy fashion then I think you come out the other side a better person. I've got so much more energy now than I ever had in my early 50s before the menopause.” – Actress Dame Julie Walters

Life isn’t fair is it ladies? There you are approaching 50, in your prime and at a time when the kids have grown and flown and you should be making hay – breaking through glass ceilings at work, taking up skydiving or marathon running, becoming an eco-warrior, seeing the world, writing that novel – all in advance of a well-earned retirement… and then bang! Along comes the wretched curve-ball that is the menopause! Well, it isn’t all doom and gloom.

The menopause may be an inevitable biological process for every woman but at Miskawaan Health Group we’re with Oprah and Dame Julie when it comes to facing up to – and mitigating against – its impact. This is why we are offering an exclusive week-long intimate wellness retreat for no more than eight ladies featuring a program run by professional women who have themselves experienced the menopause. It takes place in the beautifully secluded confines of Miskawaan Villas and Health Clinic on the tropical island paradise of Koh Samui and focuses on the physical, emotional, psychological and sociological effects of the menopause.

The aim of the retreat is to foster an atmosphere of inclusivity, a sorority of comfort and support in which participants can be as involved as they like (all sessions are optional) and as candid they like, safe in the knowledge that they are among people experiencing the same physical and emotional transitions. Our empathetic approach is holistic, which means that our focus is on the whole body, so as well as learning how to cope with menopausal issues head-on through workshops and private consultations with our medical team, the retreat also offers beachside massage and beauty therapies and opportunities to join enjoyable communal lifestyle activities that revitalise the soul.  

The Miskawaan Menopause Retreat in Koh Samui is counseled by Dr. Sybille Morch, an experienced gynaecologist whose mission is to help women understand their hormones and empower them so that they can minimize the impact of the menopause through diet, supplements and nutrition; together with Ingrid Clermontina Truelove, a nutritionist providing guidance on how diet can help limit hormone fluctuations and weight gain, and Karan Ladd, who tailors exercises specific to the individual so as to boost strength and pre-empt future posture issues.

The Miskawaan Menopause Retreat will be held from 29 January – 05 February 2023 and is priced at 7,400 AUD per person inclusive of:

• A 7-night stay in a private room within a luxury villa shared with other Retreaters.
