Menopause Experts Group Omdömen 

I won this menopause retreat but feel the wording was a bit misleading. It didn’t feel much like a retreat. Although the speakers and everyone involved were very knowledgable and welcoming, the venue was not suitable for this type of event. To be fair, the weather didn’t help as it was the filthiest of days and it didn’t get off to a good start as the yoga session was cancelled as the teacher injured herself en route. The room was cold and draughty and the chairs very uncomfortable for sitting on for long periods of time. The Dome may be good for summer workshops but not for winter. It needed to feel warmer and cosier with more subtle lighting. The lunch and snacks were nice and the other participants were lovely girls with whom we shared our experiences and I think this was the best bit of the whole day - exchange of knowledge. Unless the venue is changed I wouldn’t recommend doing the day in Worthing.

Blown away by this event, It way exceeded my expectations!
So much great information and stories being shared.
The advisers were definitely experts in their field and no question was a stupid one !
Every session was enlightening and the food was beautiful.
I left feeling great :-)

I almost didn't go to this event. When the day came I was so low I almost gave it a miss. I'm so glad I didn't! An amazing bunch of ladies, incredible food and lots of information from inspiring and sympathetic experts. Lots of tears and laughter, comparing of symptoms and sharing of stories. And not a man in sight - I left feeling like I'd just had a week's holiday. Every woman should do it!
I'd like to see the company consider setting up an online forum on their website, so we can all keep in touch and continue to share experiences and top tips. Thank you Fountain Retreats - menopause still sucks but now I feel much better equipped to deal with it.

Attended a one day retreat in Ealing London yesterday. I can honestly say it was life changing !!
The venue was lovely, the food delicious & from the warm welcome to the amazing women I met I came away feeling empowered & full of knowledge to tackle this next stage of my life. Thank you for the support & information 🙏💜

Attended the 1 day menopausal retreat at the abbey hotel in Redditch last Saturday
Fabulous, enjoyable and very informative day.
Meeting other women I the same boat and learning so much
The nutritionist was fantastic!
Would highly recommend !

I had an amazing day at the Redditch retreat last weekend. I didn’t know what to expect but the hosts were so welcoming and friendly. The yoga was relaxing and invigorating, the teacher was lovely.
The talks in nutrition, medications and health were very informative and interesting.
The vegan food was delicious and presented and prepared beautifully. Everyone enjoyed the non alcoholic fizz and chocolate in the afternoon break!!
I would recommend the day to all the ladies as it was great fun with a lovely atmosphere.
I came away feeling empowered with knowledge and inner strength 💖💖💖💖

I had a thoroughly enjoyable day on the Redditch Fountains retreat. Yoga first thing which was much appreciated as I'd had a bad night's sleep beforehand, so needed a gentle start to the day. I particularly enjoyed the nutrition and psychology talks which were delivered with great enthusiasm. Thanks to Jo Rae for her useful tip of shouting/screaming into a jar and putting the lid back on to get rid of frustration - better than wanting to stab someone! 😂😂

A big thank you to all!

This was a really well-structured day, delivered with compassion and humour. All workshops were pitched appropriately and shaped to guide a deeper understanding s to take control of this pesky menopause thing.

Lovely hosts - very warm people. They set the tone and we shared experiences openly and laughed lots.

Lunch was a great example of ways to look after yourself too - it is so good to see the ideas put into practice. For me the nutritionist session was the most useful, as I already do yoga / well-woman yoga and have attended a menopause workshop in my local community centre. The advice and energy from Sue was what I needed most on a winter's day - a simple guide to fuelling my body better and putting myself first for a change.

Thank you for this great opportunity!

I would recommend this to anyone, no matter what they do / do not know about their menopause.... there will be nuggets that resonate with your experiences throughout they day.

I really enjoyed the day and venue,found it productive and informative but enjoyable.It came at the right time for me as just completed cancer treatment and forced in to an early menopause therefore unprepared and uninformed.I gained a lot of insight also in to talking to the other lovely ladies and listening to their stories to many thanks.xx

Great venue, lovely tutors and good food.
It was a wonderful time from arriving and meeting our host, having a relaxing yoga session, talks about the menopause, nutrition and ideas of how to help ourselves.
The yoga teacher was aware of any disabilities people had and showed ways of doing the exercises seated rather than on the floor.
The snacks provided and the lunch were healthy and tasted delicious. We got the chance to try non alcoholic wine and dark chocolate.
Everyone got on well and came away with tips and strategies to try.
Worth the cost for a very informative day.

This is a day that all women should do for themselves, arm yourself with all the facts you need to help you learn what is happening to your body and what to expect. Very friendly ladies running the session making you feel comfortable from the minute you walk in the door, excellent healthy nutritious food. So glad I went and I’d recommend it to all women!

So pleased I took some out for me to attend this fabulous day. Every aspect of the day was relevant and highly informative. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the brilliant presenters who really understood the topic. The food was so good I have a genuine desire to change my unhealthy eating habits. Thank you ladies for this great day, I have a list of people I will be recommending you to.

I came away from my Fountain Retreat Day feeling elated. I felt renewed and invigorated and I now want to enjoy the next possible 50 years of my life rather than waiting for old age and misery to set in.
The whole day was so informative and sharing experiences in a confidential and safe space with the rest of the group was also really useful.
The yoga that started the day was such a treat and you immediately felt like the day was going to be all about you, and it was...
I feel like I am going to lead a different life from now on, I have found an inner strength I never knew existed. The Fountain Retreat Day has given me an insight into the causes and symptoms of the menopause, how that has impacted on all aspects of my life, and now I need to manage that. And I now feel like I can manage it, I feel so much stronger within myself and I'm elated because I'm looking forward to creating this new self, this wise and confident woman that has more life to live and enjoy...

I had a lovely day at the Fountain Retreat. I was a bit nervous about going on my own but was put at ease straight away by the lovely warm welcome. Everyone was so friendly !
The day got off to a wonderful start with a very relaxing yoga session. The sessions which followed were so informative and helpful, I've now got lots of information to help myself.
Add to this a gorgeous venue and delicious snacks and lunch and it was a perfect day.
I now don't feel guilty or apologetic about what I am going through - this is so empowering . Thank you everyone !!!

I had a fantastic day at the retreat. The yoga was simply amazing and it made me feel inches taller when it was over. The super healthy lunch was amazing, full of flavour and colour. The tutors were also fantastic. I found them very easy to talk to which is great for me as I usually find it difficult as I feel I’m being judged all the time. I will continue trying to engage with other ladies about menopause, as up to now I find no one is interested. Thank you so much for such an informative relaxed day.

A truly fantastic and motivational day, all geared up for ME. I left feeling empowered and energised to help myself. Thank you so much ☺️

Fantastically relaxing and informative day! I found the talks around physical health, nutrition and mental wellbeing excellent and the yoga session was lovely and relaxing. Added bonus of nutritional lunch plus gorgeous non alcoholic wine and chocolate tasting. Such a wonderful day and being able to talk honestly and openly with other women was invaluable. Highly recommend

I was so nervous about attending this day but I was put at ease as soon as i arrived by Karen and her team, they all worked so hard to make the day so special and i was fully supported throughout the day with all my needs meet. The venue was fabulous so inviting and comfortable, with regular refreshments and lunch that was very tasty. The wine and chocolate tasting in the afternoon was very enjoyable It was so lovely to meet and talk to other women in my situation in a very relaxed and confidential environment. I would highly recommend this to every women at that certain age, no one needs to suffer the symptoms of menopause in silence.

Just what we needed to blow away the winter blues. Informative day pack full of great lifestyles choices. Beautiful venue at the Norfolk Mead Hotel on the broads.

I had a fantastic day at the Worthing Menopause retreat. The Dome was a beautiful setting and the host was lovely and welcoming. I had my first ever yoga class and the yoga instructor was brilliant and all of the specialists were engaging and provided us with so much useful information. The food was also yummy so thank you :)
