Hello and welcome to Nick the Uncensored. Today we’ve got Genia and Francesca and today we’re going to be talking about a retreat only for women. Genia and Francesca are doing a retreat for women who are going through their menopause and for their health and stuff like that. Because Francesca, on the right hand side over here, is going through cancer and is hopefully getting better and we’re going to dive into that a little bit. This is a cause that you’re doing because of your journey Francesca and you want to share this with the viewers which is amazing.

But thank you so much for joining me. How are you and what have you been up to? We go with Francesca first. Oh we could thank you. So we spent about a year setting up our women’s retreat and wellness centre. So there’s two parts to it. We have the retreat where you can come for overnight stays and just enjoy the two acres of land that we’re on in Hertfordshire and then we have the wellness centre where all our therapies take place. Genia is one of our main therapists here and she specialises in a lot of different things, especially menopause, lymphatic system, fluid retention and so yeah we just wanted to create somewhere where women can come and relax and find themselves.

Absolutely and Genia, how about yourself? What would you like to say today? I think for me I have been in the beauty world for about 35 years now and I’m always still learning and trying to help women and this place here for me is like heaven. I absolutely love it. I love helping women. When they come here they can’t stress, their bodies are like really tense and by the time they leave they’re like floating and that’s when I know like you know I feel really really happy. So obviously Francesca you’ve said to me before we started recording that you know you’ve got cancer and you’re doing the right stuff.

We’ve spoken about it off air and you know you’re taking the right steps and I hope that you’re going to, it’s going to get eliminated. I know with what you’re doing, I know a lot of people that have taken the same route as you and they’ve got a lot of success. I think I heard 99% okay so you just got a stick at it and I know it’s all new but this is a great because this is a cause that you felt close to heart and you wish you had been healthier in your earlier life and this is something that you want to encourage women but not just for their health but you know a wide range aspect of their health like menopause and stuff like that.

So why don’t you tell us how it all began for you and what and why she wanted to start it with Ginnia and then we’ll go to you Ginnia. Yeah so I wanted to start, I started the breast cancer support group about four years ago and that was after my second diagnosis. So my first diagnosis was eight years ago and my second was five and a half years ago so I started the breast cancer support group because as much as you have your family and friends around you it’s not the same as being in around people that are in the same position as you.

So I started my support group and then about a year or so ago I just really wanted to create where we are obviously we’ve got a lot of land and we’ve got space and I wanted to share it with other ladies. I wanted them to be able to come here like I said reconnect and just find themselves and take care of themselves so it’s not just for women with cancer it’s for every woman because like I said we women do go through a lot with their hormones childbirth trying to balance life with work children you know it’s quite hard and I just wanted to create somewhere where ladies can come here feel relaxed and look after themselves by doing therapies using our saunas just relaxing on our land and then when I was I mean I’ve known Jeannie for like over 30 years and we were talking about this a couple of years ago I said I really wanted to start something like this and she was like I’m in I’m up for it you know Jeannie’s got so much experience in what she does that I couldn’t think of a better person that could come on board she’s with both the same age going through the menopause we understand all that and Jeannie’s very good at looking at someone’s body and knowing what they need so that’s why as well for Frank Frank is an inspiration to women because she has been dealing with cancer for what eight years eight years you know and still dealing with cancer so when women come here and they hear her journey the stuff she does the things that she tries I think that’s a I think that really encourages women for hope as well you know to see Frank if you look at her she she looks amazing yeah you do right now she’s got pain every day she’s got fibromyalgia it’s not just the cancer she’s really struggling in life and we literally are talking about the next treatment to do her for fibromyalgia so she’s always trying things and I think when women come here I think that’s an inspiration to see that and gives them that hope as well I’m a great believer in practice what you preach yeah hundred of course Junya can you talk us through what a day-to-day looks like at the women’s retreat so we start about nine o’clock first client comes in normally they’ve booked a lymphatic massage because they’ve seen it on the internet that you know it’s a rage at the moment but I always ask why did you book it and they mostly say oh I don’t know I just saw it online and it looked good so once I sort of explain it to them assess their bodies I then do like a bespoke magic no one has the same massage everyone will be it’s tailored to their own needs so someone might have like trapped fluid or they might be going for the menopause so I just really work on their body how I feel what they need and then after you know it’s one after the other I’ve done what seven massages in one go it’s like literally massage after massage it might be a facial but my main thing is the fluid side of it and menopause for women that’s my side I absolutely love I love seeing change in the body as soon as I’ve worked my little magic on it and that they go away and feel amazing so just see them always walking out here like they’re floating like literally they’re like cloud nine well yeah so that’s that’s a good thing for me that’s what I love to see and I love to see when they get off the bed straight away they say oh my god I feel so light you know it’s not always your lymphatic system you know your lymphatic system not always broken as people say it’s not always not working properly there are the times where you know fluid illness whatever is is a big thing to do with it as well so we try to educate what you need for your body it’s not always like what you see on social media absolutely could you explain if you get any women coming from abroad because a lot of my viewers also are from the United States um what’s your message to them that want to try something in the air enjoy it as come and see the grounds and like you know have when when you are here it’s not like a normal salon normal salons are like hustle and bustle the day you’re in you’re out you’re in you’re out here I always say book me extra time it’s not about the money it’s about making sure that you don’t you walk away and you’re not stressed stress is the biggest killer so I always sort of try and say to them you need to understand that we need to get with the stress we need to relax you we need you walking out of here like you are on cloud line and and so far touch wood that’s what we’ve been doing so America wherever you are come over stay at our retreat for a few days just enjoy it like our grounds we’re in the beautiful Harpstra countryside a lot of people they come in they’re like oh I didn’t know this was here because you you wouldn’t know but once you’re here you’re like in a different world yeah it’s lovely it is it is stunning the wildlife just you’ve got fields all around you you’ve got fresh air you know you can come with friends and just relax enjoy your day your evening it’s a proper digital detox as well there’s no tv yeah no microwave no tv no microwaves we don’t do microwaves we we’ve got loads of games for you to like play with your friends or just relax outside yeah just enjoy the like nature basically yeah with nature no no you know wi-fi’s and radiation and and signals and stuff like that bluetooth and all of that relax just yeah and and get back to how things used to be yeah yeah connecting with yourself as well exactly grounding we’ve got I mean I don’t even know how many trees we’ve got here like I said we’ve got two acres that they can people could just walk around barefoot if they want and sit outside when the sun rises when the sun goes down you know and just just just enjoy it yeah and where in Hertfordshire are you based exactly because Hertfordshire is quite big I think it’s even bigger than London but outside of London touching London so whereabouts we’re in Theobalds Park so we’re not far from junction 25 of the M25 right which is the surrounding ring of London so I’m just saying this to the viewers right near Enfield so not far from Enfield but once you go during Hertfordshire is that near is that near Broxbourne area would you say yeah we come under Broxbourne yeah right okay excellent okay and also um what other you know what are the most popular questions do you get about your retreat that you’d like the viewers to know that you get mostly we mostly get about the lymphatic isn’t it yeah we mainly get a lot of people asking about lymphatic and menopause a lot of women are really struggling because it’s very hard to get a doctor’s appointment and a lot of women when they do go to the doctors straight away they’re offered uh HRT um and the ones that don’t want HRT are offered nothing so here when you come here you know if that’s your journey to go down that road or the other road we’re here to help you on both it’s a bit more of a holistic approach really yeah um because like every woman needs help yeah every woman any woman that’s going through the menopause whether you decide to go on HRT or you decide to go down the holistic route you all need help and unfortunately when you go to the doctors if you’re not interested in HRT there’s nothing you’re not going to get much else from that so when you come to me i will always try no matter what i will try and help you whether it’s you’re on HRT or whether you’re going the holistic route so i think the menopause one is a big thing that we’re getting asked about as well it’s massive now because everyone’s becoming aware of what people are looking for natural ways to to recover for their immune system and stuff like that whereas you know the health system is always pushing you know the mainstream health system is pushing synthetics synthetics we want to touch basics they’re treating the symptoms not the cause exactly yeah i mean what what i do here as well at the back i’ve got my own kind of like vegetable patch i’ve grown my own vegetables herbs like soup like yeah they’re like massive and herbs and we look at more natural things and i i just think when people come here and they see all that it’s like being with one with nature we don’t where we’ve got the wellness center and and and the retreat where we do all the therapies in that we also look at the other side of it like we have a hematologist on board that can do like a well woman check where a lady can come here and she can have her blood done and she could check all sorts of things intolerances or all the markers that they want to check we’ve also got a thermography machine i don’t know if you’ve heard of that it’s a non-invasive um scanning machine where it purely works on the heat structures of your body so it’s it’s only used it’s not it’s only used as a supportive um not a diagnostic but it’s a great way to map your body and to keep an eye on how your body’s yeah changing so if you envisage your body each side of your body should be symmetrical like the heat structures and if they’re not then you know it will kind of flag something up that’s you know something isn’t quite right there it’s a non-invasive way of having a scan so no radiation and we wanted to introduce that here it was quite a big thing for us to have that here because it is more of a holistic kind of a scan yeah there is there’s nothing involved just your heat structures so we we offer that here um we’ve got therapists that like psychotherapists if people need support yet we’ve got ultrasound doctors um so we’ve got that kind of side yeah we’ve got a physio so we’re offering these other things on the side as well and you’re saying that these doctors are alternative they understand the the synthetic corruption of the mainstream and they are have a higher consciousness of holistic healing natural healing yeah they look at more yeah i mean obviously some are doctors you’ve got the hematologist which deals in blood but you know he he’s specializing in that in that field and then the ultrasound doctors they’re trained as well with that machinery but you know ultrasound’s safe um and um and i like the therapists you know if people are struggling mentally um because that’s another thing we’ve been doing um um which isn’t just for women we’re doing like like a little a little program called living with um our last three have been living with cancer different types of cancer so my first was myself and a friend of mine Anthony who’s got double lung cancer and then the second one was with my who’s just actually just done the marathon as well with double lung cancer they just done it last weekend yeah um then we did um the one my breast cancer ladies and then most recently with Michael who’s got um leukemia but we’re actually now our next one is about child uh childhood suicide so we’re looking at different things but it’s just allowing people to know that there is someone to talk to you know there is someone out there to talk to we’re
