Nurse Practitioner & Menopause Advocate Kathy Wieliczko best retreat resort manifest dream life wellness retreats at best resorts

Meet Kathy Wieliczko

I’m Kathy Wieliczko, APN. Nurse for 30 years, nurse practitioner for 27, married 29 years, and mom to two sons, ages 22 and 24.

In 2017, at 46, I went through menopause and was dismissed by my own trusted healthcare provider and by several others after that. As a nurse practitioner myself, it left me without answers for my own body. I dealt with weight gain, loss of libido, and a significant decline in my quality of life.

In 2020, I started hormone replacement therapy. It took years of trial and error, but I eventually lost over 20 pounds and got my health and energy back.

Now I help other women navigate midlife and menopause with the answers I couldn’t find for myself.

Upcoming Retreat

midLIFEinspo Retreat: Beach, Strength & Better Conversations
January 21-25, 2027
Zel Punta Cana
Dominican Republic
By Kathy Wieliczko

Join nurse practitioner Kathy Wieliczko for a small-group women’s getaway in Punta Cana. Enjoy beach walks, feel-good workouts, great food, and spa time, alongside honest conversations about menopause, strength, sleep, intimacy, and what comes next. With plenty of room for laughter and doing absolutely nothing, it’s a chance to feel rested, connected, and clearer about what you want for yourself.
