Take A Menopause & Breathe

Stronger, Well & More Like You

A menopause day retreat focused on health, movement and feeling good in your body

One day for yourself. Practical ideas for everyday life.

Perhaps you want to feel stronger, but you’re not sure where to start. Perhaps your energy feels unpredictable, your confidence has taken a knock, or the things you used to do no longer feel quite right.

And with work, family and everything else on your list, looking after yourself keeps slipping to the bottom.

This day is an invitation to pause, understand your changing needs and explore ways to care for your body that feel achievable.

Gorgeous yoga led by Nikkie with menopause and the body in mind, outdoors if possible.

Join Lucy and other women navigating perimenopause and menopause for a welcoming day of practical learning, approachable movement, nourishing food and honest conversation. A chance to ask questions, try something, laugh together and think about what would work for you.

You don’t need a whole weekend away to make room for yourself. Start with a day.

Looking after the body you have now

How would it feel to approach your health and fitness with a little more understanding and confidence?

We’ll explore what looking after yourself can mean during menopause, from making movement part of a busy week to finding a balance between activity and rest.

There will be dedicated time to learn, opportunities to ask questions and space to reflect. We’ll focus on realistic habits you can take home, rather than adding another overwhelming list of things you “should” be doing.

Whether you’re returning to movement, looking for a fresh starting point or already active and curious about your next steps, you are welcome.

What we’ll explore

Understanding your changing needs
Start with a clear conversation about menopause and the questions it raises about your body, wellbeing and daily life.

Making movement feel manageable
Explore ways to build activity into your week, with room for different starting points, preferences and energy levels. Simple yoga exercises that you can take with you from strength and flexibility.

Strength, confidence and where to begin
Consider what you would like to feel more capable of doing, the questions you have about strength and fitness, and your next practical step.

Everyday nourishment and rest
Reflect on the routines that help you look after yourself, including eating regularly, making space for rest and asking for support.

Your own achievable plan
Choose a few small actions that fit your life. Something you can begin with, rather than a complete reinvention.

A day with room to breathe

Alongside the learning and movement, there will be time to enjoy your food, talk with other women and simply pause.

Our Devon retreat feedback highlighted how much guests valued belonging, practical ideas to use at home, and the combination of learning, relaxation and fun. This day brings those priorities together with a focused health and fitness theme.

You can come with a friend or come on your own. You can join the conversation or take time to listen. Bring your swimming costume for the hot tub and plunge pool if you fancy it.

You don’t have to arrive feeling confident. You just have to arrive as you are.

From our Devon menopause retreat

“Uplifting, grounding, nurturing”

“it was so powerful to feel a safe sense of belonging with strangers.”

“It's okay to arrive exactly where you are now, and be open to what may be possible!”

“I know how unsettling it can feel when your body and confidence change, while life still expects you to carry on as usual.

I created Take A Menopause & Breathe to give women space to understand, ask questions and think about themselves again. My approach is warm, practical and focused on small changes that fit real life.

I’d love you to join us for a day of learning, movement, connection and a little breathing space.”
