The M&TM Online Community
A thriving online support network on a mission to empower and support Mums of young children, through their menopause journey.
Dedicated to reducing the overwhelm and loneliness associated with menopause whilst parenting young children, described as a 'lifesaving community' by a member.
You don't have to face menopause and motherhood alone!
We are currently *closed* to new members but we are back soon.
Join the waitlist to be the first to hear.
Are you experiencing the menopause and have children, and feel too young to join the 'normal' menopause support groups?
Do you feel like you can't relate to other groups?
Do you feel like no one else is going to understand a hot flush while managing a toddler meltdown?
Do you feel different to your Mum friends and are unsure who would understand?
You don't need to feel like that anymore.
Everyone has a different story and experience when it comes to motherhood and menopause. Within the M&TM Community we have open discussions, with no judgement, allowing you to share your experiences, feel comfortable to ask questions and seek advice from others, who can completely relate to what you're going through.
This online community is a hub for sharing knowledge and resources. A completely safe space to vent and get everything off your chest, with people who really do get it!
Finally, a menopause club we do feel included in.
Together, we will not only focus on our own wellbeing but also on being the best parents we can be despite our menopause experience.
The community aims to offer support and encouragement, reminding each other that we are not alone in our journey.
Join the community today and connect with Mums who really understand.
What's Included
Our community is very special, and there are no other services currently offered for Mums who are experiencing menopause.

It all comes with a huge hug from a truly wonderful community.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I join if I don’t have POI or Early Menopause but I still have young children?
-Of course! You can join with any kind of menopause, with or without an official diagnosis. The support and connection is still the same and is still important.
Can I join if I used donor eggs to conceive?
-Absolutely yes. You don’t even need to ask this question. We also have a separate area for donor conception private chat.
I can’t make the live call times, does that matter?
-Not at all. Some people don’t ever attend the live meet ups. We have a continuous chat room function. You can use the community as much or as little as you like.
Can I remain anonymous?
-You can. You are welcome to put a different name in when you sign up. But there is nothing to be ashamed of and we all have the same struggles.
Is the community via Facebook?
-I deliberately avoided social media. The community is housed on an app and is really easy to use.
I want to join but I am really shy and not sure I will cope with the calls.
-That’s completely fine! You are welcome to join on mute with no camera if you just want to come and listen. You’ll still find all of the other information beneficial.
What age of child can I join with?
-There is no age set, we have babies right up to teenagers. It’s more about finding your support that feels right for you.
Can I cancel if I can't afford it?
-Yes, you can just join a month at a time. It is only £3 per week but I do understand that the cost of living is hard at the moment and you are welcome to come and go!
