Harnaam Kaur's PCOS Wellness Retreat for IWD 2023

This International Women's Day, 2023, I was fortunate enough to organise my very first PCOS Wellness Retreat.
With the help of Estrid UK (@heyestrid), my manager Elizabeth, (@djqueene) and I worked hard to create an event that not only was informative, but also fun.
Polycystic ovary syndrome impacts 1 in 10 Women. It is a condition that impacts the way in which the Ovaries within a woman functions.
The condition leads to irregular periods, weight gain or loss, acne, bodily hair due the excess of Androgen (male hormone), difficulty in getting pregnant, and so much more.
With numbers so high, we are still not able to answer the question as to How or Why this condition comes about.
Throughout the day, we had many workshops scheduled.
I shared my story and journey about living with PCOS, and how it has impacted me not only physically, but mentally too.
Hannah Presence (‪@hannahpresenceyoga‬) led her Yoga session beautifully. She really got everyone into the spirit of what was to come for the remainder of the day.
Helen Mason provided everyone with useful information about PCOS from her 3 decades of experience with working on this diagnosis. Helen was extremely popular.
We focused on mindfulness and well being too. With Reiki and Yoga masters at hand throughout the day, we were able to find peace, and unite the mind, body, and soul. Leonie Raw (@leonieraw) and Debbie Coda (@debbycoda) did a great job.
Leonie (@rawcrystaltherapies) led her crystal bracelet making workshop where everyone was able to go home with their very own handmade gift.
We then ended with some live music entertainment from Maharani (@realmaharani) who shared her talent as a singer and songwriter.

The fun didn't stop there...We gave away gifts courtesy of Estrid.
There was also a raffle draw, and gifts were provided by ‪@skinnydiplondon3464‬ ‪@nyxcosmetics‬ and @lush
A heart filled thank you to @Omnom (a vegan and vegetarian restaurant in Islington) for the use of their Yoga studio, and for providing delicious food.
My teal themed decor was created by @londonpartydecor
My videographer was the talented @luciecarter
And @mathuxphotos captured all valuable stills for me too.
Thank you for creating long lasting memories and content for me.
