Menopause Empowerment Workshop
Menopause Empowerment Workshop
Are you experiencing menopause, perimenopause, premature menopause, premature ovarian insufficiency, or medical/surgical menopause? Would you enjoy a day connecting with like-minded women and empowering yourself with some new skills to support yourself through this transition? If this sounds like you, join Hayley from Forest Retreats and Sam from Voyage to You as they host the Menopause Empowerment Workshop.
The workshop will include information on what is happening to your body during menopause and how the food we eat can be used to ease symptoms while protecting your long-term health. The day will also include weight-bearing movement designed to strengthen your bones, a guided relaxation to ease your stress, and a delicious lunch designed to inspire you as well as providing you with the nutrition you need.

Sam from Voyage to You was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency at the age of 35.
“After my diagnosis, I felt incredibly isolated and like nobody else in the world was struggling with menopausal symptoms in their 30’s. I found it difficult to find information on POI and didn’t identify with the common stereotypes of menopause. I struggled with fatigue so badly, and I couldn’t understand how I was going to live the rest of my life feeling this way.
All of this inspired me to gain a diploma in nutritional therapy and to become a certified menopause coach. Originally, this was to educate myself and to see if I could influence how I felt through my diet. Eventually, I wanted women to share my knowledge and to know that they are not alone. Now, I am a health coach specialising in women experiencing menopause and POI, particularly focused on how nutrition can manage symptoms”
Hayley from Forest Retreats is a yoga teacher, business owner, and holistic therapist.
“I am 43 and perimenopausal. I have noticed my body changing – particularly inflammation and changes to my skin. I am passionate about weight-bearing exercise as I have osteopenia (due to having coeliac disease), but also ensuring we learn to rest more, especially as women today juggle so much. I am very much looking forward to delivering this workshop with Sam.”
