Menopause isn’t an ending, it’s an evolution

TEMPLESPA describes this as a ‘second spring’ – a time to nurture yourself, rediscover balance, and embrace calm confidence. Their treatments and skincare focus on soothing rituals and radiant well-being, helping you feel supported through change and renewal.

Treatments: Your Spa Sanctuary

At their spas, TEMPLESPA offers the thoughtfully designed “Your Best You” Menopause Massage, a bespoke treatment created to ease menopause symptoms from head to toe.

This exceptional experience combines the skilled touch of their therapists with the soothing warmth of Himalayan Salt stones and TEMPLESPA’s nurturing skincare. These healing stones release negative ions, known to aid stress reduction, boost energy levels, and lift your mood.

Rhythmic stretches and gentle joint rotations work to relieve achy limbs and tension, while a delicate lymphatic drainage facial reduces puffiness, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and radiant.

You can choose between a warm or cool treatment, tailored to your personal preferences and symptoms. Select spas also offer an extended 90-minute version, which includes a lifting facial massage, a warm oil scalp treatment, and the application of TEMPLESPA’s luxurious Truffle range
