I am delighted to be co facilitating a really special bespoke women’s wellness retreat in January 2025.

My co Facilitator has years of expertise in creating women’s circle events both in Ireland and overseas. Katie has much heart centred experience and kindness in creating safe spaces for women.

Having worked in the menopause space in Ireland and the UK over the past four to five years I have witnessed the power and transformation in bringing women together in group settings.

Women at all stages of their menopause journey are welcome to join us. Everything you have ever wanted to know and were afraid to ask will be covered in a number of workshops over the weekend.

Our focus is on enabling women to thrive with education and a support toolkit which you will leave with to refer to over the next year. We know that fully understanding the significance of this life stage beyond our hormones opens new perspectives.

Location: The Mulvarra Retreat Centre beautifully situated in the heart of the countryside beside the river barrow at St Mullins Co Carlow. www.mulvarrahouse.com

Retreat weekend dates : Friday 24 th January to Sunday 26th January 2025

Providing menopause advocate training with my colleague Amanda for the Ambulance service of Northern Ireland was a highlight in the past month🙌

It is fantastic to see women stepping up within organisations. They are leading the way in becoming menopause advocates.🙌

Huge congratulations to NIAS for leading this across Northern Ireland 🙌

This well complied report was produced by the HSE MHER, Mental Health Reform and the Department of Health.🇮🇪

It involved consultation with women to gather feedback on their experiences of the mental health impact of Menopause in Ireland 🇮🇪

The conversations revolved around the need for open conversations to break the stigma and silence which is contributing to declining mental health 🇮🇪

Many women found it difficult to have open chats about menopause but admit it is starting to become more normalised 🇮🇪

A balanced view -not completely focusing on the negatives but spotlighting the positives gave alot more hope 🇮🇪

Education and awareness is key understanding the psychological and emotional changes that occur was very empowering for many 🇮🇪

There was also a call for a holistic mind body perspective beyond medicalisation to ensure ALL women are supported 🇮🇪

Women to women support groups were also considered very helpful for many 🇮🇪

Educating all of society on the mental health impacts was also called for including workplaces men and SPHE programs in schools 🇮🇪

Well done to Orla Barry for completing this report👏

Future services will continue to embrace user perspectives 👏👏👏

Ireland has made huge progress in bringing the Menopause conversation out of the shadows in recent years❤️

We need to continue to ensure ALL women are educated and supported ❤️

The concept of educating women or society on menopause is completely new.

All of society -workplaces -men and women need to understand menopause❤️

The conversation continues until it becomes completely normalised across society❤️

Huge thanks to all the fantastic women who participated in this clip❤️❤️❤️

The next Midlife Women Rock Cafe where most of the women have attended chatting Menopause takes place on Tuesday 2nd April 10-12 MD at Waterford Health Park
All are welcome Just turn up ❤️❤️❤️

Menopause education is transformative enabling women to reach their full potential at this life stage…..I see this over and over again with the women I work with ..

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great read in The Times UK challenging the overarching media narrative that HRT is for everyone.

For those of us working with women we know it is NOT suitable for All.

If you are taking HRT have found it works for you without any side effects..fantastic

For those who have tried and come off HRTdue to side effects rest assured you are not missing out there are many options out there to help with symptoms.

Official statistics show

15% of women across the UK take HRT to manage symptoms. 🙌🙌

20% of women report NO symptoms 🙌

80% of women use a combination of lifestyle nutrition mindset and other medication modalities to manage symptoms 🙌

There is NO one size fits ALL🙌

YOU are unique 🙌Take some time to find what works for you

Menopause is a universal yet deeply personal experience ❤️
