Owner of Pembrokeshire wellness centre to host menopause retreat tomorrow
The owner of a popular wellness centre in Pembrokeshire will host a menopause retreat tomorrow (Saturday, May 24). Yasmin Woods runs Heat in Pembroke and wants to further help the community by offering professional advice for women suffering from menopausal symptoms and to prepare those who will go through menopause in the future. The event will take place at Foundry House Community Centre in Pembroke from 2pm, featuring talks from experts such as Laura Leongomez and Shelby Rossiter besides an appearance from the mayor of Pembroke Town Council. Yasmin believes women need to be more informed about menopause. (Image: File photo) Yasmin said: 'I'm a bit nervous but I have teamed up with Pembroke Town Council and it's going to be a really good event. A lot of women don't know much about menopause, and many come to my wellness centre for help with their symptoms. 'The Foundry has wanted to do something like this for ages. I'm hoping to offer a couple of menopause retreats per year.' Yasmin believes there is limited support for women going through menopause in Pembrokeshire. She also posted on the Heat Facebook page: 'No one really talks to us about menopause when we're younger. It's like this big mystery we're left to figure out on our own, usually when we're already overwhelmed, confused, and feeling alone. 'I've had my own moments of panic—wondering if I'm going through early menopause, not knowing what signs to look for, or where to turn for real answers and support. That's why this retreat means so much to me. 'It's not just for women already going through peri or menopause, it's for all of us who want to understand what's coming, who crave community, and who need a safe, supportive space to talk openly, learn, and feel empowered.' Since Heat opened Heat in January 2025, the wellness centre has over 50 reviews on Facebook and a recommendation ratio of 100%. Yasmin continued: 'I've just been nominated by the BBC for a community award. I'm really proud to be nominated. It's nice to be recognized for bringing the community together and see my efforts rewarded. 'I get a real mixture of people attend my wellness centre. But it forces all of them to get off their phones and start connecting. 'By the end of the year I want to have a second premises either in Haverfordwest or Milford Haven and I want to have a chain of centres in the future. 'After all, I already have people coming from Carmarthen and Cardigan to visit my centre in Pembroke. If I am able to get a bigger venue then I can offer a wider range of treatments.'
