Find Balance. Embrace Change. Rediscover You.

Welcome to MiniPause

A sanctuary of connection, mindfulness, and
meditation designed for women in their 40s and 50s.

Our mission is to provide unwavering support as you navigate the often unpredictable and emotionally charged journey of perimenopause and menopause.

We understand that this time in life can bring unique challenges, from physical changes to emotional struggles, leaving you feeling ungrounded or uncertain.

That’s why we’re here—to offer compassionate guidance, practical tools, and a safe space where you can explore these experiences with understanding and empowerment.

Through mindfulness, meditation, and intentional connection, we’ll work together to transform the fears, anxieties, and frustrations that may arise into sources of strength and positive energy, helping you reclaim a sense of control and purpose.

At The MiniPause, we are committed to helping you rediscover the light that exists within you—a light that may feel dimmed by the pressures of life but is never truly extinguished.

We believe in fostering a positive transformation by encouraging you to embrace your inner strength, confront self-doubt, and cultivate a deep sense of self-love and acceptance.

By reconnecting with your authentic self, you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and renewed energy.

Together, we’ll create a pathway toward a life filled with strength, joy, and fulfilment—because you are not only capable of this transformation but also inherently worthy of the love and happiness it brings.

Testimonials

I was actually in a pretty good space when I arrived but felt amazing when I left – empowered and inspired. The MiniPause retreat is a beautiful day to recharge your batteries and turn the focus back on yourself.

What struck me most was discovering how many other women are feeling exactly the same way. The meditation session left me feeling incredibly relaxed, and I realised the importance of taking time out for myself – it benefits not just me but everyone around me.

Aldinga is the perfect place for this retreat. The house setup worked wonderfully with different areas for each part of the session, and being within walking distance to the most amazing beach is the icing on the cake.

I would absolutely recommend MiniPause to any woman. It gives you practical tools to make a real difference to your wellbeing. A big congratulations to Marketa for all her hard work to make a difference to women who are struggling with perimenopause

After the MiniPause retreat, I learnt to be kinder to myself and that taking time for me is important to recharge. I definitely felt more calm and relaxed after the day.

The meditation practice was particularly valuable – I had never really done meditation before, and I’ll be using that as a tool to feel calmer when overwhelmed. It was also incredibly powerful to connect with others and feel understood and validated.

The venue felt like a lovely holiday break from busy home life. I would recommend MiniPause to any woman wanting to understand menopause and connect with other like-minded women.

Attending the MiniPause retreat was a truly uplifting experience. I arrived feeling overwhelmed and weighed down, but left with a much lighter spirit and a deeply relaxed body. Just taking time out for myself—without guilt—was a big step, and it made all the difference.

The beautiful beachside setting, the welcoming atmosphere, and the chance to connect with other women going through similar experiences made me feel supported and understood. It was comforting to know I’m not alone in how I’ve been feeling.

The conversations, the nourishing food, and the peaceful environment were all wonderful, and I’d love to see the retreat extended to a full day so we can dive even deeper.

Thank you, Marketa, for creating such a thoughtful and healing space. You’re doing an amazing job!”
