The Menopause Cafe, Basingstoke

❤️ ☕️ Welcome to The Menopause Cafe - a safe, inclusive & friendly place to talk about the menopause!

After starting the menopause around 37, battling with my GP for some time to establish that yes, it really was that - I began looking for support groups that might help me with the barrage of questions I had and, somewhere to be amongst others who understood or were just accepting about some of my experiences. Somewhere for open, trusted discussion & maybe some knowledge sharing.

One of the biggest barriers I found and continue to find; is accessible, real life experiences shared without judgement, ideals, agenda or assumption. So after looking for local groups & not finding any, I have decided to start my own with the support of the charitable organisation the 'Menopause Cafe.' (Originally started in 2017 and now global! www.menopausecafe.net)

I sincerely believe that coming together like this, to participate, meet and talk, can be powerful and empowering.If you would like to meet like minded others and come along to chat, drink tea, listen or just be amongst a group of others that wish to do the same and normalise female health discussions, then please do feel free to join.

There is no obligation to be going through the menopause - being empowered to take autonomy in our own health choices as women and learn about our bodies; is universal.

This is an accessible, confidential, inclusive and and respectful initiative that will be run monthly, locations and times changing each month to make it as accesible as possible for all. Some events will also be run online for those unable to travel.
