Ménopause Holidays in Dordogne France
As women at this stage in life, why would you need a menopause holiday?
1. There are c. 32 symptoms for peri-menopause-& post. Let’s not just diminish the discussion to the stereotypical few (hot flushes, night sweats & brain fog) rather than face into how dilibitating this can be for some. (Mine have included heart palpitations, positional vertigo and hives/rashes resulting in me looking like I have been attacked by a feral cat. As a so called ‘normal’ process, I can truly say I was surviving not thriving.)
2. On average GP’s get 1hr training on female health including menopause in the UK (you’ve got to feel for this already overstretched resource).
3. 1% is invested in global research and innovation for female specific conditions beyond oncology (Accenture & Springboard 2024 ‘State of Women’s Health Report’) (I wonder the impact this has in medical treatment and conflicting views across this topic).
4. Medication is not the only answer - taking control of lifestyle (sleep, nutrition, movement, stress management …) can help or hinder any medication administered.
5. There is a tsunami of white noise through product placements, social media and celebrity insights (& yes the irony is not lost on me that I am now part of that social media noise …. However as a means to an end please stick with me).
6. Finally what’s also interesting is still the lack of wholesale social change within female communities - family, friends and colleagues with an absence of conversations to share tried and tested knowledge.
So I have put my head above the parapet and offer a different way forward, after 25 years coaching, I extended my qualifications to Menopause Coaching.
So ….. Menopause Holidays
What is it about?
Building your own menopause community unique to you (family, friends, colleagues), by taking a Menopause Holiday with your besties! (4 night break for 3 - 5 people at my home in the Dordogne, France.)
Exploring other options that impact female health other than medication. This provides you insight and choice to work with your unique body and lifestyle. This is achieved through group coaching and trying out some of the options and seeing how you feel. I do not offer medical advice, but can help you understand what to discuss & how to do this with your GP.
Offering an affordable alternative to ‘retreats’ that can feel restrictive and prescriptive (a regime!) … you can still enjoy a glass of wine on this unique holiday .lepeynau/menopauseholidays.com
Thanks for reading and hope to see you soon.
