According to Diana Stobo, founder of The Retreat, this new package provides much-needed relief for those suffering the repercussions of hormonal changes — with a focus on balancing hormones and mood swings with diet, exercise and lifestyle changes. “Menopause is a time of change, transition and sometimes, emotional disruption. As women enter this natural but perhaps turbulent phase of their lives, significant shifts in lifestyle and mindset can be necessary to cope,” Stobo explains. “Our goal is to help women understand and manage these important changes — and the myriad symptoms that accompany them — and learn how to achieve the hormonal balance necessary to attain an improved quality of life, good health and emotional balance.”
