After learning about natural estrogen replacement therapy the hard way, Colorado-based travel agent Vicki Thorp shares her resources with other women on her annual Women’s Wellness Cruises. Englewood, CO (PRWEB) June 23, 2005 -- As Vicki Thorp suffered through hot flashes, mood swings and sleepless nights, she never dreamed menopause would also play a significant role in her career direction. “I just wanted it to be over,” recalls Vicki “but after my doctor took me off estrogen, my symptoms got even worse. It was a horrible downhill spiral.” Unfortunately Vicki’s experience isn’t unique. Every year millions of women are weaned off synthetic hormones because of health risks such as cancer and heart disease. And as in Vicki’s case, their menopause symptoms reappear. “It just didn’t seem fair,” says Vicki. ”It was like I was going through menopause twice.” After nearly a year of researching alternative treatments, Vicki found the help she desperately needed after attending a seminar on bio-identical hormones, given by pharmacist Susan Davenport. “What Susan said about natural hormones just made so much sense,” says Vicki: ”It was like somebody turned on the light for me. My next challenge was to find a doctor knowledgeable in natural hormone replacement.” Today Vicki is symptom free, and now she’s sharing her resources with other women in a new venture, an annual women’s wellness cruise. Says Vicki, “I knew other women had to be going through the same thing and I wanted to do something to help. Since I’m a travel agent, an annual cruise devoted to women’s wellness issues seemed like a logical choice.“ Slated for March 26, 2006, Vicki’s first annual Women’s Wellness Cruise will feature seminars by Susan Davenport and noted women’s health author Dr. Elizabeth Plourde. Topics addressed will include natural anti-aging strategies, stress management, relationship issues and the pros and cons of hormone replacement. Says Vicki, “My goal is to empower women by educating them on their health care choices.” This is a great opportunity to enrich your mind and pamper your body on the 5-star Celebrity Millennium. Says Vicki, “I chose the ship because of its white glove service, gourmet cuisine and wide variety of spa treatments. It’s just the perfect match for this cruise.” Adds Vicki, “This cruise also makes a great girlfriends getaway; a time to relax, laugh and reconnect with old friends. I really hope to make it an annual event.” For more information about this unique vacation opportunity visit womenshealthcruises.cgtagroups.com or contact Vicki at (877)877-5017 or e-mail protected from spam bots.
