Five Six Senses properties around the globe have embraced the ultra-luxury hospitality brand’s Female Wellness program, with more to follow. The integrated wellness philosophy is centred on perimenopause, menopause, and holistic female well-being. Each of the Female Wellness journeys, be it three-, five- or seven-days, provides insights and tools to keep hormones and metabolism balanced through times of transition and during the monthly cycle.

Within the space and calm of Six Senses properties and away from the demands and distractions of everyday life, guests are invited to explore the connection, science, and wisdom of the female body. This includes support on female hormone cycles, fasting, blood sugar science and measurement, body composition changes, and sexual wellness.

A non-invasive Wellness Screening measures key biometric markers, whereafter Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is used throughout the program to track the guest’s blood sugar levels as they follow fasting principles in harmony with their hormonal cycle.

The program incorporates the knowledge of Dr. Mindy Pelz, a bestselling author and advocate of holistic wellness approaches.

Anna Bjurstam, Six Senses Wellness Pioneer, says: “Women have an immense power within themselves. The Six Senses Female Wellness journey is designed to equip guests with the tools and techniques to regain ownership of their body’s natural rhythms through times of change.”

“The programs create space over a few days or even a whole week for women to introduce these principles to their way of life.

“It’s about unlocking the untapped potential within us to enable women to thrive wherever they are in their cycle or life stage. Tuning in to the body’s language and adapting eating behaviours and movement patterns can help women navigate symptoms of the menopause such as mood swings, weight problems, and brain fog,” Bjurstam said.

“Dr. Mindy is a fountain of female knowledge. Working together, we hope to bring our shared expertise to more and more women around the world. Particularly as the data shows how information on the menopause isn’t reaching women.”

According to Six Senses, the World Economic Forum1 recognises the gender health gap, with one key area being the lack of persistent data on female hormones and health, and the lack of available data reaching women. Six Senses Female Wellness programs aim to inform and empower women, specifically around key issues of nutrition, movement, sleep, stress and mindset, and lifestyle.

Guided by the Six Senses mission to help guests reconnect with themselves, others, and the world around them, Female Wellness programs are an invitation to women to tune into what their body is telling them. They harness the knowledge of Dr. Mindy Pelz, a bestselling author and advocate of holistic wellness approaches.

“There are life changing tools within us that are massively underutilised,” Dr. Mindy Pelz says.

“Often, we take our well-being for granted until we find ourselves in a state of discomfort or imbalance, such as when approaching or going through the menopause. But when we bring our bodies back into alignment with our own biology, we can unlock all that our body is capable of. It’s a joy to be able to work together with Six Senses to help women increase their confidence and outlook during this turbulent life stage. It’s about enabling women to thrive not just survive.”

Programs adopt the Six Senses high-tech, high-touch approach to wellness with Sleep With Six Senses and Eat With Six Senses principles incorporated into the stay. Every guest room is optimised for sleep, from the handmade mattresses by Naturalmat to the organic pillow menu and bedding on top. A sleep tracker or sleep tracking ring can be arranged on a complimentary basis to measure a wide range of metrics throughout the program. Results are analysed during a sleep review to pinpoint any changes that may need to be made for the following night.

The three-day program explores the foundations of hormonal and metabolic health. The extended five-day program allows for a deeper exploration of the key factors that influence hormonal balance, mood, cravings, sleep, weight, and mental clarity. The seven-day program aims to forge longstanding connections between fasting, food, exercise, self-care, and hormonal balance and places a greater emphasis and intention on weight release, metabolic flexibility, and detox principles that can support long-term hormonal health and overall well-being once home.

Six Senses will introduce Female Wellness programs to five properties this year – Six Senses Douro Valley, Six Senses Rome, Six Senses Kanuhura, Six Senses Ninh Van Bay and Six Senses Crans-Montana – with a view to extending them to all Six Senses properties thereafter. They will be available year-round and can be followed as a solo traveller or as part of a group or family trip.
