Menopause Retreat

Ease your journey through this important transition with a three-day wellness retreat full of advice and evidence-based information you need to take control of your menopause.

ENQUIRE

Menopause can be an overwhelming chapter in a woman’s life, with a myriad of both physical and emotional changes to navigate. Without proper support and guidance, you might experience feelings of isolation, especially as the menopause can differ so wildly from person to person.

About the retreat

Goodwood has assembled industry-leading experts to replace the many uncertainties and unknowns with a deeper understanding of what your menopause might entail and how you can manage the symptoms, balancing the clinical with the complementary. With a holistic, personalised approach to nutrition and gut health; cortisol management; exercise and Hormone Replacement Therapy, you’ll leave with the tools required to thrive.

Meet the experts

Dr Katie Armstrong

Katie studied medicine at St Mary's Medical School, Imperial College and was a GP partner and chief officer of the local Clinical Commissioning Group. Whilst going through her own perimenopause and practising as an NHS GP in Pulborough, Katie developed a particular interest and specialism in the menopause, and went on to train with The British Menopause Society and The Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.

As a busy working mum in her 40s, Katie understands the impact hormones can have on women's lives. She firmly believes that we should not have to be at the mercy of our hormones; that women should continue to be happy and healthy, throughout their reproductive life, through the menopause, and beyond.
