I WANT IN & I WANT THE EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT!

STRESS LESS IN MENOPAUSE

A Weekend Retreat For Female Fitness Professionals

As a female fitness professional, you give so much to others— your clients, your family, your work.

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to slow down, breathe, and focus on your own health?

The Stress Less in Menopause Retreat is your opportunity to step away from the noise, focus on your own body and mind, and immerse yourself in evidence-based strategies that support both your health and the women you train who are in peri or post menopause.

This isn’t just a break—it’s a chance to invest in yourself, learn how to manage stress more effectively, and gain valuable tools you can bring back to your clients.

You’ll leave with a clearer head, a calmer mind, and practical strategies to manage stress both personally and professionally.

You'll gain a renewed sense of energy, a strong community of support, and the confidence to navigate your own menopause journey—while knowing you have the tools and guidance to better support your clients too.

A RETREAT FOR FEMALE FITNESS PROFESSIONALS

STRESS LESS IN MENOPAUSE WEEKEND RETREAT

Signs of stress in menopause can feel like:

Your mind is always racing—even when you try to slow down.
You feel guilty when you rest, like you should always be doing something.
You are tired, but wired—running on fumes and caffeine.
Your body is achy and sore.
You have digestive issues and intolerances to certain food/drinks.
Your anxiety levels are rising

You know stress affects your health, but actually making time to reset? That’s the hard part. I’ve struggled with this too.

But here’s the truth: Rest isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. And if we don’t learn how to manage stress for ourselves, how can we truly help our clients do the same?

Menopause health has long been overlooked in the fitness industry. It’s time to change that.

This is your chance to join the 'menopause movement', empower yourself with knowledge, and help create a future where women in menopause can thrive—starting with you.

That’s why I created this retreat—a space for you to reset, recharge, and learn how to support yourself and your clients through menopause with less stress and more ease.

Why This Retreat?

Stress and inflammation are at the root of many menopause symptoms—disrupting sleep, increasing belly fat, and making exercise and diet changes feel impossible to stick with.

You know movement and nutrition are important, but if stress isn’t managed properly, even the best plans won’t work.

This retreat is about more than just relaxing (though you’ll do plenty of that!).

It’s about learning practical tools to better navigate menopause- for yourself and your clients- with clarity and confidence.

I’ve spent many hours teaching & educating women and fitness professionals on how to adapt their exercise programs and diet to better manage the changes that come with menopause.

Within my teachings, I also explain the need for better management of stress in menopause but felt that this topic needs focused time.

Time away from the heavy exercise programs

Time away to actually put the skills into practise without the outside noise of life.

This retreat gives that time away to tune in, listen and learn HOW to stress less

Introducing the Stress Less in Menopause Retreat—a luxury 2-night escape in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, designed exclusively for female fitness professionals who need to reset, recharge, and reclaim their energy.

You will learn first-hand how to manage stress, move slower, and eat mindfully, so you can pass those skills on to your clients without burning out yourself.

Meet Your Retreat Host: Mairi Thompson

With over 20 years of experience in functional strength health & wellbeing, I specialise in helping women 40+ build strength in body mind and bones while navigating menopause.

I’m a clinically trained Soft Tissue Therapist, Pilates Instructor, Sport Scientist and Educator in Menopause Health. I’ve educated hundreds of fitness professionals and worked with countless women navigating menopause.

My mission? To create nations of strong menopausal women.

I know firsthand how frustrating menopause can be—I was diagnosed with osteopenia while navigating peri-menopause myself. The lack of clear, evidence-based support disappointed me and made me angry.

That’s why I do this work—to give women the knowledge, tools, and confidence to thrive through menopause, and to collaborate with female fitness professionals to give them the same tools to better support their own clients.

What Others Say:

"Mairi, the masterclass was great! The information provided was so relevant to working in the fitness industry. I now feel like I have expanded my knowledge to better tailor my PT sessions with female clients at this stage in their life. Thanks!" – Tamara, Sunshine Coast

"I have now completed two of Mairi's courses. Her courses are easy to follow, extremely informative, and she shares her wealth of experience in a way that’s easy to understand. If you want to help your female clients train through menopause, I can't recommend Mairi highly enough." Sara, Sydney

"Taking Mairi's menopause course has taught me so much about nutrition and exercise adaptations. I am post-menopausal with osteoporosis, and there were plenty of exercise modifications for me. I would recommend this to any woman in peri or post-menopause." Kim, Brisbane

Mairi's course has been perfect, because it has given me the kick start I need to get back into my fitness. I love the holistic approach around health, diet, fitness and emotions and having all that information and support in the one place is invaluable" Emma, Southampton, UK
