We asked Lindsey why she thought you should join us at Womenkind...
She said...
"The Womenkind Retreat is a perfect day for anyone wanting to explore more about the menopause.
Whether you know you are menopausal, just starting to notice some changes or just curious and wanting to be ‘ meno- prepared’ we’d love to have you there.
The menopause transition is really individual so it’s important to understand how this might impact you and what all of the options are for navigating your way through this life stage.
Women often neglect their own needs at the expense of everything else they need to juggle. Although it’s not ideal, often women manage quite well (although not necessarily feeling their best)
But then throw in a huge hormonal shift and it’s suddenly just too much. Our Retreat will give women the chance to prioritise themselves and feel empowered to navigate this life stage.”
