‘… Menopause Cafe. Genius! In a world that is full of disconnection this was a perfect tonic. Loving the conversations and the sense of community’
Sam Bunch, attendee
The menopause cafe idea was started by a group of women in Perth, Scotland who wanted to meet together to drink coffee, eat cake and discuss the menopause. Their aim was to create a safe, relaxed space for women and men of all ages to discuss the issues surrounding the menopause - no sales, no profit, just a community of people having relevant discussions.
Two Ducks has been given the go ahead to start a menopause cafe event in our shop in Woking, Surrey, and we are really excited about hosting it.
We will be hosting a cafe once a month, the first one will be an evening event, the second a lunchtime and so on, to enable as many people to attend as would like to.
The event tickets are £5, which includes a tea/coffee and a homemade cake! ☕️🧁
In addition to the menopause cafe, we aim to have a wonderful guest speaker at each event.
Our next Menopower Café
Menopause and the workplace - Wednesday 14th September 19.00 BST

If you listen to your body when it whispers, it won’t need to scream’ — Heather Sophia Gordon Athié, Caluna Wellness.
We are delighted to announce that for March’s menopause event, we have guest speaker Rebekah Brown, Founder of artisan supplement company MPowder.
MPowder is the world’s first plant-based supplement powder range crafted to target the three distinct biochemical stages of the menopause.
Their recipes use only plant based nutrients, botanical extracts and vitamin sources to give our bodies what they need through the three stages of menopause.
Rebekah will lead us in a ‘Hormone House Party’ which will provide a whistle stop tour through the menopause lifestage; demystifying the symptoms through an exploration of the biochemistry and pausing to discuss individual concerns, experiences and share the evidence of what works. How fab is that?
As if that wasn’t exciting enough, we also have Rhian and Lou from Essence Garden Studio in St.Johns. Rhian and Lou are an expert team teaching yoga and pilates from their studio down the road. They will be leading us in 20 minutes of yoga Nidra (yoga sleep), to relax us at the end of the menopause cafe session, ready for a fabulous nights sleep.

Menopower Cafe Wednesday 15th June 2022 19.30pm BST
Our June 'Menopower' cafe will be focusing on the skin during peri menopause and menopause and our guest speaker will be Holly Mason of The Skin Investment Clinic.
Skin changes during perimenopause and menopause can be both uncomfortable and distressing.
Lowering hormone levels and depleting supplies of collagen can have a big impact and make the skin prone to thinning, sagging, enlarged pores, pigmentation, and acne.
Skin specialist Holly Mason of The Skin Investment Clinic firmly believes menopause does not have to be miserable when it comes to skin woes.
By simply recognising and understanding the changes in the skin and knowing what treatments and products work, Holly is 100% confident that women can enjoy beautiful and healthy skin during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
Holly is the owner of The Skin Investment Clinic, based in the beautiful village of Tilford, Surrey, where she also lives with her husband and two young children. She has written articles and editorials on skincare and is the author of Proven Secrets, Eliminating Acne and Acne Scarring.
- Joining Holly is Dr. Alex Standring of The Surrey Park Clinic. Dr. Standring is a local GP and menopause specialist on the British Menopause Society register. She has an interest in women’s health, and strongly believes all women should have access to informed medical advice and personalised treatments for their menopause.
