Shropshire Menopause Hub

20/02/2026

Have you ever felt completely overwhelmed by menopause advice (I know I have)?

~ One person says HRT is the only answer.
~ Another says go natural.
~ Someone else says supplements work or cold water swimming, or one of a hundred other suggestions.

No wonder so many women feel confused — and alone.

However the thing about the menopause is that every woman is unique in every way, and therefore there is no such thing as a one size fits all solution. It's something that's very individual for each woman and as such only the woman concerned can make the decisions as to what works for her personally.

That’s exactly why we created the Shropshire Menopause Hub here in Shrewsbury (Shropshire). It's a collaboration between myself, Sarah Summers and Nicky Taylor.

The Shropshire Menopause Hub is a space we've created for real women where you can have real conversations, listen to trusted speakers, and receive practical support, along with a supportive community.

We provide support, connection and clarity.

Part 3…………

A LOCAL GROUP

A big consideration when setting up the hub was that we wanted to make it a group for midlife women local to the Shropshire area. It is really overwhelming when you google “menopause services” and even if you state “Shropshire “ you get information from around the UK. We do the searching and filtering for you, to bring you a wide range of information and services, local to our area, so you can make your own choices about your menopause.

How we do this:

We try to use speakers that are Shropshire based, where we can. We have a wealth of practitioners and business owners who offer services to midlife women in the Shropshire area. Some of the smaller, independent businesses are not able to compete with bigger, often national companies, when it comes to advertising, so you often don’t hear about them. Sarah, Shirley and Nicky have many connections with all sorts of business owners here in Shropshire and can bring that information and the people themselves to our members and guests, at the in person events and solely to members in the closed Facebook group. If you are looking for holistic therapists, nutritionists, HRT prescribers, it always helps to have met them or to have a recommendation prior to any appointments you make.
Although we are Shrewsbury based for in person events at the moment, as the hub grows, we plan to branch out into other areas of the county too.

Part 2…………

CONNECTION

When you join Shropshire Menopause Hub, we really want to make you feel part of our group and get that sense of belonging. We know that research shows that when groups of women get together, endorphins are released, giving you that feel good factor.

How we do this….

Our monthly talks are the perfect place for our members to meet up and chat. We don’t leave this to chance but purposely schedule the talks to include breaks to have a cuppa and encourage discussions and questions.

We understand that members and guests who attend our talks are all individual and whilst some women walk in alone, others prefer the company of friends. Also, some people like to be in the thick of discussions and enjoy sharing their thoughts and experiences, when others prefer to sit and listen.
This is why there is never any judgment and everyone is made to feel very welcome and supported. It is important to us that we create a safe space for everyone to feel respected and heard.

We also have monthly meetings ups around the local area. Sarah, Shirley and Nicky take it in turns to book a day and time, which we vary and publish within our membership. We meet whoever is free to join us, treat them to a coffee and have a chat. We are looking forward to some warmer weather to add on a walk or two and enjoy the fresh air.

If you would like to benefit from this sense of community, please follow the link:

World Cancer Day 2026 | United by Unique

This year’s theme, United by Unique, really matters to us at Shropshire Menopause Hub.

Our founding member, Sarah, is a breast cancer survivor. That experience played a significant role in why she became a nutritionist and why she’s so passionate about helping women in midlife make informed, confident choices about their health.

Breast cancer — like menopause — doesn’t look the same for every woman. Our bodies, histories, risks, symptoms and decisions are all different. Yet so many women are still expected to navigate complex health choices with conflicting advice and very little joined-up support.

That’s why informed choice sits at the heart of everything we do at Shropshire Menopause Hub.

We don’t promote one “right” way through menopause. Instead, we support women across all experiences — whether that includes HRT, natural and lifestyle approaches, surgical or medical menopause, or a combination of these.

Different paths. Shared understanding. Honest conversations.

Because midlife isn’t about fixing women — it’s about supporting them to make decisions that feel right for them, together.

💛
