This retreat was one of the best things I've done for myself--in years…Every aspect of it was stunning, and exceeded my expectations: the beautiful hotel where we stayed and the incredible location, the other women who attended, the experts and facilitators who were not only kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, but made themselves available in ways that went above and beyond. I loved them all and I loved everyone who went on this journey with me.

What I valued the most about the retreat? Everything! The venue, the amazing supportive company, the insightful sessions, the AMAZING food and the activities.

I would 100% recommend this retreat. It gives you a full picture of the different ways to deal with perimenopause—from the perspective of a medical specialist in hormonal treatment to the natural remedies shared by a very knowledgeable phytotherapist. I especially enjoyed the workshops on medicinal plants for skin care and anti-aging. The retreat also includes time to enjoy the outdoors and be active in a beautiful natural setting, and the food was excellent! Natacha, our organiser, was always attentive to every detail and made the whole experience even more special. Congratulations!

I felt accompanied in this moment of my life, I had fun, I laughed and connected and I took in the incredible knowledge that was offered. And on top of all this? The food was some of the best I've had in ages and we were all so well-fed. What more could I ask for? I suppose: only to go back again!

The sharing with other women was what was really amazing for me...Menopause is a topic that is really trending right now, but many people don´t fully understand it. The retreat that Natacha put together is very comprehensive and amazing!
