Oshawa & Whitby's first Menopause Cafe!

The Menopause Cafe movement was first started in Perth, Scotland in 2017, for everyone who wants to talk about menopause, to share their stories, experiences and questions - and it has now spread worldwide.

The Cafe is an opportunity to gather in a supportive, confidential environment and talk about all things menopause. Attendance is free, there is no agenda, no selling, and no experts.

The spaces are limited so please register on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/menopause-cafe-oshawa-whitby-tickets-1902764252099?aff=oddtdtcreator

Let’s talk! ❤️

Perimenopause isn't just about physical changes — the emotional challenges are often hidden and misunderstood.

Mood swings, anxiety, and feelings of loss can hit unexpectedly, leaving many women feeling isolated and overwhelmed. What nobody tells you is how deeply these shifts can affect your mental well-being.

At New Paths Counselling, we specialize in compassionate, menopause-informed therapy designed to help you navigate these emotional waves with understanding and support. You don't have to face this alone.

If you're experiencing these feelings, reach out. There's a path to relief and renewed balance — and we're here to walk it with you.

Menopause can feel like a loss of control—but it doesn't have to define your emotional well-being.

With the right strategies, you can build resilience, regain confidence, and navigate this transition with strength. Simple steps like mindfulness, tailored therapy, and self-compassion make a powerful difference.

You don't have to face this path alone. Support is here to guide you toward emotional balance and renewed confidence.

Reposted from Posted • 💜 Lifestyle Medicine is at the Heart of Menopause Care 💜

As Dr Chika Anekwe, lead author of this year’s White Paper, explains:

“Lifestyle medicine is at the heart of menopause care. By focusing on nutrition, physical activity, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, restorative sleep, and strong social connections, we empower women to take control of their health and improve their quality of life during this pivotal transition.”

This World Menopause Day, the International Menopause Society calls on leaders at every level to close the care gap and make menopause support a basic right, not a privilege.

It's World Menopause Day!

Menopause isn’t just a medical milestone- it’s an emotional, physical, and psychological transition that deserves compassion, not silence.

As a therapist, I see how this phase can stir up identity shifts, relationship changes, and mental health challenges. But it can also be a time of deep empowerment and renewal.

Let’s talk about it ❤️
