Spa Haven: Embrace Wellness in Dublin

One of Dublin's most significant draws for women in perimenopause is its burgeoning spa scene. Ireland’s first spa certified as menopause champions makes it a prime spot for restorative treatments tailored specifically for your needs. Picture this: you arrive in Dublin, and you’re enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility, where expert therapists guide you through soothing therapies designed to alleviate those pesky symptoms of perimenopause. The combination of qualified professionals and a serene environment allows you to truly unwind and recharge.

We stopped by The Spa at The Shelbourne to try out their "Comfort & Calm" treatment, a new offering in partnership with Irish wellness brand Ground Wellbeing. It’s specially designed to relax, soothe, and support the nervous system during perimenopause and menopause — and honestly, it really lived up to its name. The spa is super easy to find, right by St Stephen's Green just off Grafton Street. For the visit, we packed light and wore this super comfy one-piece outfit — perfect for slipping off before the treatment and best of all, it didn’t crease!

Explore the Menopause Hub and Beyond

Dublin's commitment to women’s health is evident with the recent expansion of the country’s first menopause clinic. The Menopause Hub, now with a second location due to overwhelming demand, has become a beacon of hope for women seeking guidance and support. The Hub, which has gained traction since opening in Mount Merrion in 2019, has captivated visitors eager to learn more about managing perimenopause. Beyond healthcare, Dublin also boasts a rich cultural heritage, with historical sites, charming cafes, and friendly locals ready to welcome you at every corner. So, after a restorative morning at a spa, don’t miss out on the chance to wander through the city’s streets, savour its culinary delights, and immerse yourself in Dublin's vibrant atmosphere.

We stayed at The Samuel, which was in a great location — really close to EPIC, and just a short walk across the bridge to Pearse Street Station where you can hop on the DART and enjoy a scenic ride along the coast. Since we knew we’d be walking a lot, we tested out these shoes and they were amazing for all the pavement-pounding! We also packed these tops and trousers — super comfy for daytime exploring but easy to dress up for evenings out.

We flew with a low-cost airline (you know how tight their baggage rules can be), so this rucksack ended up being the perfect fit for everything we needed. And because Irish weather likes to keep you guessing, we brought these raincoats — which definitely came in handy when we visited the beautiful Sugarloaf Mountain in Wicklow.
