Menopause cafes across the country can 'end the silence and break age-old taboos' 

A Channel 4 documentary, fronted by Davina McCall, helped get women talking about the menopause.

A former nurse from Waterford is hoping to extend the concept of menopause cafes across the country to support and empower women, of all ages, going through this life-changing transition.

Over the past week, dozens of women took to the national airwaves to talk about hormones and the sometimes-devastating impacts of the menopause – the end of menstrual cycles and a dramatic change in reproductive hormones.
