When we found about DaysAway Adventures special Snowshoe & Menopause Wellness Retreat, we caught up with Vivien to find out more. We wrote an article about Vivien and Jason Day a few years ago at this link.

What has changed in the last 2 years concerning Days Away Adventures?
We have grown, both personally and professionally and have not only built a solid and returning client base, we have formed personal relationships, bespoke experiences and discovered more of this beautiful area. We offer not just snowshoeing but snowshoeing with an experience such as yoga, lunch at a mountain restaurant, sunset snowshoe walks, birthday parties and corporate events. In the summer we offer hiking around the area, often joining up with partners such as a local artist to do Art in the Mountains and the local Farm - la Ferme du Caly to do an afternoon walk ending at the Alpage to see the cows being milked and have Apero with a selection of cheeses, meats and wine...! We have also partnered with Serac-montagne which means we can now offer packages such as multi-day retreats.

Why menopause?
Vivien has been going through the 'joyful' symptoms of peri-menopause herself over the past few years and has been feeling a bit lost about it all. Last winter, a neighbour, whom we hadn't met before contacted her to come on a snowshoe walk. Her email footer was 'Menopause Coach.' The conversation started there and developed over coffee. There are many women 'at that time of their lives' and we are all having both similar and wildly different symptoms. Many women on our snowshoe walks seem to be having the same conversations and so I asked some of them if they would like to attend some coaching sessions. The resounding answer was yes!
