Empower & Elevate Retreat
Redefining your next chapter
7-11 May 2025, Lupiac, Gers, France
Women are 4 times more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety as we transition through perimenopause...
Weight gain, low mood, anxiety, sleep issues, are just a handful of the most common complaints experienced and normalised for women as our sex hormones start to change from our late thirties onwards.
In this life-changing retreat you will be given the tools to empower your female physiology, transforming your hormonal health.
We will give you a toolkit to enable you to thrive -changing your mindset, your fitness levels, your dietary habits - you won't just feel great when you leave, you will feel like a new person.
Kate Rowe-Ham, Pauline Cox and Dr Joyce Harper are dedicated to helping women like you transform themselves during this important life stage.
Join us for four nights at the luxurious Chateau Lacoste, situated in Lupiac, one of France's most beautiful villages, and indulge in a tailor made itinerary, created to ensure all your wellness needs are met.
