STRESS LESS IN MENOPAUSE RETREAT
A Transformational Weekend
for Female Fitness Business Owners
JULY 25th-27th 2025
Sunshine Coast Hinterland
Running a fitness business is rewarding—but it can also be draining.
You give to your clients, your team, your family… and sometimes there’s nothing left for you.
And yet, here you are—still showing up, because you're passionate about helping women move, feel strong, and live healthier lives.
But here’s the question:
Who's looking after you?
This retreat is your invitation to step away from the day-to-day noise and enter a space designed just for you.
🌿 Why This Retreat Is Different
This isn't a generic business mastermind.
This isn't a typical wellness weekend.
And it’s definitely not just about bubble baths and green smoothies.
This is a personal + professional reset created specifically for female fitness business owners like you who want to:
Get clear-headed, grounded, and re-energised.
Reconnect with why you do what you do.
Learn evidence-based tools to better support women in peri and post menopause.
Be part of a supportive community of trailblazing women who get it.
Elevate your business to the forefront of menopausal health and fitness
And learn how to systemise and scale from Roechelle Williams—automation expert and 7-figure fitness business mentor—so your business runs with more ease, clarity, and impact.
🧠 Deepen Your Expertise: With Hands-On, Science-Backed Menopause Training—streamline your systems and tech to run your business smoothly, scale sustainably, and establish yourself as a menopause specialist with long-term impact.
Across the weekend (and during our optional Sunday workshop), you’ll be guided through:
✅ Myofascial release techniques – to reduce inflammation, ease joint pain (one of the biggest menopause complaints you’ll hear about) and support menopausal recovery
✅ Practical injury management strategies – so you can modify movement safely for clients with common midlife injuries
✅ Stress reduction protocols – that blend movement, recovery, and breath to support nervous system regulation
✅ Tools to create new recovery-based classes – making your studio/gym a point of difference in your local area
✅ A business systems and automation workshop with Roechelle Williams – designed to reignite your passion, simplify your processes, and get your fitness business running with more ease, flow, and profit
Whether you're still training clients or you oversee a team, these are tools you can implement in your business right away—supporting your clients and your brand.
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.
It’s also about acknowledging the burnout that comes with running a business without the right systems and tech.
As business owners, we’re expected to juggle it all, yet we rarely get the training on how to make our businesses run smoothly.
This retreat will help you streamline your business, reduce overwhelm, and give you the clarity and confidence to thrive personally and professionally.
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'll learn first-hand how to manage stress, move slower, and eat mindfully—while also gaining business tools to support your growth without burnout.
And yes, it’s a professional development experience, which means it’s a tax deduction. Now that’s taking your business (and your wellbeing) in the right direction.

Meet Your Retreat Host: Mairi Thompson
With over 20 years of experience in functional strength, health & wellbeing, I specialise in helping women 35+ 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 Fitness & 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.
I haven’t always had the clarity and alignment I have now. For years, I worked too hard, served everyone, and ran myself into the ground trying to do it all. But everything shifted when I found my niche, leaned into menopause education, and aligned my business with my values. Now, I get to scale sustainably, make a meaningful impact, and even earn while I travel—because my systems, my message, and my model work.
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
