The Menopause Reset offers blends relaxation with reeducation to empower women with the right tools to manage this life stage.
Perimenopause is rightfully being recognised for the significant life stage that it is. And, as more women seek ways to manage the physical, emotional, and psychological changes associated with this transition, the wellness industry is responding in kind.
Among the myriad offerings supporting females through a journey that sees them swapping PMS for VMS (or hot flashes and night sweats) are purposeful getaways. And, leading the charge is the Perimenopause Reset – a retreat where self-care and communal support combine to help women navigate the hormonal roller coaster of “reverse puberty” that can happen up to 10 years before menopause.
Equal parts educational and empowering, this exclusive retreat, led by renowned nutritionist and wellness expert Faye James, is set to take place from 6-10 June 2025, at the luxurious Mangosteen Ayurveda Resort in Phuket, Thailand. Here’s what you need to know…
Why perimenopause retreats matter
The effects of perimenopause are as varied as the women who experience them. From joint pain, mood swings, and hot flashes to weight fluctuations and discomfort during sex, the symptoms can range from mild to life-altering. As a result, a growing number of women are seeking less traditional (though no less effective) alternatives to hormone replacement therapies, to rebalance their health and wellbeing.
Perimenopause retreats offer exactly that. And, as the wellness industry continues to evolve, experts predict that perimenopause-specific retreats will become a mainstay, offering women a holistic solution to managing their health – one that combines the science of nutrition and fitness with the emotional support of a like-minded community, in an environment where women can escape, recharge, and take a holistic approach to their health.
What to expect at The Perimenopause Reset
Set against the tranquil backdrop of tropical Thailand, The Perimenopause Reset promises an unparalleled experience for women ready to take control of their health. And, the opportunity to embrace this new chapter of life with confidence. Whether you’re looking to balance your hormones, improve your fitness, or simply connect with others going through similar experiences, this retreat could be the perfect opportunity for renewal and growth.
However, despite the homemade welcome drink and twice-daily yoga sessions, this retreat is so much more than a spa getaway. It also offers a comprehensive program designed to educate and support women through every aspect of menopause.
Attendees can also look forward to hormone-balancing nutrition workshops, fitness sessions tailored to the needs of women undergoing hormonal shifts, and mindfulness practices that promote mental clarity and reduce stress.
A typical day might start with a cooking demonstration packed with ideas for delicious and nutritious breakfasts, followed by tips on which herbal teas and essential oils can help alleviate your hot flashes, and finally, deep relaxation ideas to help you sleep better at night.
Other highlights include free use of a Himalayan rock salt infrared sauna, Ayurveda copper bottles for healthy drinking water, and 24-hour access to a salt water treated pool.
But, it’s not just about individual learning. In fact, one of the most popular elements of Faye’s retreat is its balance between the best of personalised, one-on-one guidance with interactive group sessions. Here, women from all walks of life can connect and support each other. As a consequence, these opportunities allow guests to share their experiences, form a supportive community, and learn valuable tools to manage menopause symptoms beyond the beautiful walls of Mangosteen.
Why perimenopause retreats are on the rise
Perimenopause-focused retreats are embracing a growing trend in the wellness world: the importance of self-care. For women going through menopause, self-care isn’t just an optional extra; it’s essential. Juggling the challenges of perimenopause alongside a busy career or family life can leave little room for reflection and healing. That’s where wellness retreats come in, offering a peaceful space for women to focus solely on themselves.
As Lindy Andrews, the founder of Pure Health Travel, says, “Women are increasingly seeking wellness experiences that offer more than just relaxation. They want to learn, grow, and connect with others in meaningful ways. Faye’s menopause retreat provides all of that in a luxurious setting. And, allow women to recharge physically and mentally, while also building lasting friendships.
“When traditional healthcare systems fall short, retreats like ours become essential therapeutic safe spaces. We provide an intimate environment where women can learn, heal and gain genuine community support at a critical life stage.”
