Hormone Balance Retreat

The Hormone Balance Retreat at Mandira is a holistic programme designed specifically for women in perimenopause and menopause. It combines traditional Ayurvedic treatments with modern methods of integrative medicine – from micronutrient therapy and phytopharmaceuticals to bioidentical hormones. The aim is to alleviate symptoms, restore balance and experience the menopause as a powerful new phase of life.

In Ayurveda, hormonal changes often begin at the age of 45 – sometimes even earlier. The retreat is suitable for women who are noticing initial changes such as hot flushes, sleep disturbances or mood swings, as well as for women who are already in the middle of menopause. Advance registration with a brief description of your current symptoms enables us to tailor the programme to your individual needs.

In Ayurveda, the menopause is not seen as a crisis or the end, but as the beginning of a new, powerful phase of life. This transition period – also known as the Rajas-Pitta phase – is considered a valuable opportunity for change, self-discovery and inner alignment. The body changes, but with the right support, this phase can lead to greater clarity, energy and self-confidence.

The retreat provides support for typical menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats and sleep disturbances, emotional swings and irritability, exhaustion and concentration problems, reduced libido, and changes in bone density, weight and cholesterol. Our team will help you to see these changes not as limitations, but as an invitation to transformation.

Yes, bioidentical hormones are used as part of an individualised therapy plan where necessary. Dr Alexandra Koller, a specialist in integrative holistic medicine, will discuss with you in a detailed initial consultation which combination of Ayurveda, micronutrients, phytopharmaceuticals and, if necessary, bioidentical hormones is best suited to your situation.

The Hormone Balance Retreat is primarily designed for women, but can also be booked for two people – for example, with a friend or sister. Both guests receive their individual treatment plan, but share a room and the joint programme elements. Please indicate in your booking enquiry whether you would like to travel alone or as a couple.

You will be accompanied by an interdisciplinary team: BAMS Akhil Balachandran and Dr Gramya Binson from India as Ayurveda specialists, and Dr Alexandra Koller as a specialist in integrative holistic medicine. Christina Drexler, a holistic Ayurveda expert and host at Mandira, will also be on hand to assist you. The team combines thousands of years of knowledge with modern medical expertise – and accompanies you with genuine warmth.
