Stress Less in Menopause
A Weekend Retreat for
women in peri & post menopause
JULY 25-JULY 27 2025
You spend your life taking care of others… but when was the last time you prioritised yourself?
If you are a woman trying to navigate this stage of life, one thing is certain: stress is real, and rest often feels impossible.
STRESS LESS IN MENOPAUSE
A Weekend Retreat For Women in Peri & Post Menopause
Life is busy. We give so much to others— clients, family, work.
When was the last time you gave yourself permission to slow down, breathe, and focus on your own health?
Menopause adds a whole new layer of stress to our lives—both physically and emotionally. When you’re already juggling the demands of daily life, career, family, and everything in between, it’s easy to feel stuck in a cycle of overwhelm. No wonder so many of us feel exhausted, stretched thin, and disconnected from ourselves.
The Stress Less in Menopause Retreat is your chance to step away from the noise, reset, and reclaim your energy. You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more in control—armed with practical tools to manage stress, a renewed sense of balance, and a supportive community that truly understands your journey.
It’s time to put yourself first. You deserve it.
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, we can't truly live life optimally- at any stage of life!
That’s why I created this retreat—a space for you to reset, recharge, and learn how to support yourself 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- 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 women in peri & post menopause who need to reset, recharge, and reclaim their energy.
You will learn first-hand how to manage stress, move slower, and eat mindfully, and learn more about how to navigate your menopause journey without burning out.

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:
"I found Mairi's course to be packed with exercises, diet tips and ideas that I can add to my routine. Mairi was super helpful answering all my questions along the way. I love that she has both professional and personal experience in women's health issues"
Dianne, Melbourne
"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
