Pause & Reset: A New Era in Hormonal Wellness

Recognised as the World’s Best Hotel Spa Brand for four consecutive years by the World Spa Awards, Mandarin Oriental redefines luxury wellness with Pause & Reset — a pioneering spa treatment for menopause, perimenopause, and hormonal balance.

Launching at select Mandarin Oriental Spas on World Menopause Day, 18 October 2025, this 1 hour 30 minute experience marks a global first: the only spa treatment verified with the M-Tick™, a trusted symbol of meaningful menopause support.

Created in collaboration with Aromatherapy Associates, the globally respected, B Corp-certified aromatherapy brand with over 40 years of expertise, Pause & Reset offers a thoughtful blend of clinical insight and holistic ritual.

Luxury Wellness for Life’s Natural Transition

Pause & Reset is a targeted spa treatment for menopause symptoms designed to nurture body, mind, and spirit with both science and sensitivity.

Every therapist delivering Pause & Reset is specially trained in hormonal wellness, reflexology, abdominal massage, and the targeted use of essential oils, ensuring care that is deeply personal, informed, and compassionate.

A Bespoke Aromatherapy Experience

Your journey begins with a guided aroma consultation, helping you choose a 100% natural essential oil blend tailored to your needs. Each formulation is crafted with clinically informed essential oils to address specific menopause symptoms:

Support Equilibrium – Developed by Aromatherapy Associates’ founders for a woman navigating menopause; promotes calm and emotional balance.
Lavender & Peppermint – Helps ease hot flushes, night sweats, and digestive discomfort.
De-Stress Mind – Encourages mental clarity, focus, and relief from anxiety.

The Ritual: Reconnect Through Restorative Touch

Following your consultation, guests embark on a multi-sensory ritual that blends aromatherapy with evidence-informed techniques to support hormonal harmony:

Inhalation and breathwork for balance and focus
Body brushing with rose gel to comfort dry or sensitive skin
Mayan-inspired abdominal massage to restore energy flow
Hand and foot reflexology targeting hormone-regulating organs
Hydrating discovery facial to nourish hormonally affected skin
Post-treatment consultation and tailored home-care guidance
