The Kaleidoscopes

A circle of support, sharing and expertise for women facing menopause. And for those who work and live with someone experiencing the menopause. Since time began, menopause has been brushed off and ignored - hot flushes, a bit of forgetfulness, and your periods stopping. But it’s so much bigger than that, and can be far more devastating, to us and the people who love us. We should all know the reality about what’s happening to us, and why. What is Kaleidoscopes? Menopause is a huge change in every woman’s life – and at last, it’s being recognised. People with a voice and influence – like Davina McCall – are speaking out about the enormous and devastating impact it can have on our physical, mental and emotional health. And thanks to books and programmes like the ones she’s released, we’re beginning to join the dots and see how all of these link together – and how to get through it, coming out the other side even more beautiful and powerful than we were. When you’re pregnant, you get a dedicated midwife. When you’re perimenopausal, there’s nothing there – and no help at all for what’s going on in your body, mind and heart. We formed a support group for those who have or will or are, experiencing menopause, and another for those who are on the outside. These are for education, for understanding, for a little light relief too, and for knowing you not alone. Come and join us! Cerus & Ruth x
