Join Marianne Jones, Club Avandra Lifestyle Director, in conversation with Tracey Woodward and France Geoghegan of Healing Holidays for an intimate evening exploring modern wellness, longevity and living well, without compromise.
Wellness expert and former CEO of Aromatherapy Associates, Tracey Woodward will be sharing her refreshingly honest approach to hormone health, gut health and ageing well. Tracey has transformed her own health with a real-life approach to longevity, and will share her story – from her traumatic childhood and overcoming illiteracy and poverty to forging a successful career in beauty retail, to the impact on her health and how she now infuses her busy life with wellness. She’ll also share practical insights you can actually use.
Expect a lively, frank discussion around movement, nourishment, sleep, focus, fun and community, and discover why feeling well changes everything.
Tracey will also talk about her passion for Italy, and her annual visits to Palazzo Fiuggi, the renowned Italian longevity retreat, and an Avandra Exclusive experience she looks forward to hosting.
Frances Geoghegan, co-founder of Healing Holidays, will share her insider perspective on the world’s leading wellness and longevity destinations, exploring which countries and retreats are best suited to individual needs.
Drawing on decades of experience curating exceptional wellness journeys, Frances will also answer individual questions about specific countries and retreats, helping you understand what is right for you.
Tracey’s Story…
‘They say that you can have 100 problems, but when one is your health it becomes the only problem you really have.’
Former CEO of Aromatherapy Associates and commercial director of Urban Retreat, Tracey’s story is an inspiring tale of resilience, relentless determination and reinvention. She has first hand experience of managing a C-suite career with non-exec board positions, charity fundraising, home, family and travel.
Having struggled to leave her impoverished and illiterate childhood, she worked her way up from a counter in a suburban beauty hall to global CEO. She then encountered a new battle – health. Via education, application and intuition she used a combination of science, diet, exercise and alternative therapies to reverse Type 2 diabetes and overcome ovarian cancer.
She has become one of the UK’s leading wellness warriors and now consults for a raft of leading centres of excellence and health and beauty brands.
During this event she’ll take a lively (and frank) look at ageing and realistic ways to tweak your lifestyle via:
- Exercise
- Food
- Fitness
- Sleep
- Fun
- Focus
- Community
