Essentrics® founder Miranda Esmonde-White is a former professional ballet dancer. She trained at the prestigious National Ballet School in Toronto and later joined the National Ballet of Canada to dance around the world. However, after years of dancing and full physical performance, Miranda's body began to ache more and more. She decided to combine all the knowledge she had gained from practising Tai Chi, years of physiotherapy for her pain and of course her professional career in ballet and developed the Essentrics® workout. Essentrics® has now been around for over 30 years. A lot has happened in that time: Documentary films about the programme, a New York Times bestseller about ageing - but most importantly, thousands of people of all ages have benefited from Essentrics® training.
The Essentrics® team of instructors, consisting of trainers, educators, and TV hosts, has trained professional sports teams, athletes, and Olympians. They have been hosting retreats for over 15 years – travelling extensively to share this wonderful workout with people of all ages and levels.
Dr Mira Fink is a general and visceral surgeon at a University Hospital in Germany, focusing on gut health and weight loss. Within the realm of aesthetic medicine, she specializes in vitamin therapy, PRP therapy, and mesotherapy.
At this year’s Essentrics® retreat, she will be hosting a special masterclass on hormones and healthy aging, along with offering exclusive medical spa treatments. In the realm of healthy aging, hormones play a crucial role. Particularly for women experiencing menopause, the topic of hormone replacement therapy is widely discussed. A decline in the levels of specific hormones vital for metabolism, including estrogen, testosterone, melatonin, and growth hormones, is considered a natural aspect of aging process. In her masterclass, Mira Fink will talk about the various hormones involved in a healthy aging process, discuss methods for testing, and treating hormone deficiencies, and delve into the current research findings and expert opinions in this field.
