The [Meno]pause and Restore spa day at Chewton Glen

The [Meno]pause and Restore spa day

Fantastic celebrity role models are sharing their menopause journey, normalising it, advocating healthy discussion, educating audiences and raising awareness of what can help.

“I believe Covid switched people’s mindsets regarding menopause, too: postpandemic, the search for wellbeing has become more integrated into everyday life.

“When we first devised a menopause spa day for Chewton Glen, we weren’t bold enough to mention menopause in the name, in case it put women off. We realise now we must add our voice to the conversation and be proud of what we can offer, normalising this inevitable stage of life for women.

“We’ve ensured every one of our therapists, regardless of age or gender, is trained to be empathetic to menopause symptoms, so they’re knowledgeable about what guests may be experiencing. The [Meno]pause and Restore spa day doesn’t end after our OTO CBD treatment – we link guests with a naturopathic nutritionist or a fitness expert to help improve their long-term hormone balance during this transitional stage.

“Oestrogen has more than 400 cellular functions in the body. We know we can’t redress the balance with one treatment, but we can give women the clarity to take charge and make healthy changes that will help.”

“Originally we thought women might be put off by the word ‘menopause’. We realise now we must add our voice to the conversation and be proud of what we can offer, normalising this inevitable stage of life for women.”
