Evidence-based, holistic support for women navigating perimenopause, menopause and beyond.
Helping Women Thrive Through Change
The Story Behind The Menopause Lounge
Born from Experience. Built for Women.
The Menopause Lounge was founded by Zoe Starmer-Hudson, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, after experiencing early menopause following cancer treatment for cervical cancer at just 34.
During her recovery, Zoe joined a cervical cancer support group and soon found herself helping other women understand their symptoms and treatment effects.
A decade later, friends and patients were still coming to her for advice — proof of how many women struggle to find clear, trustworthy menopause guidance.
That realisation inspired Zoe to create The Menopause Lounge: a safe, welcoming, evidence-based space where women can learn, share and regain confidence in their bodies.
Our Philosophy
Menopause Shouldn’t Be Endured – It Should Be Navigated.
At The Menopause Lounge we combine clinical knowledge with holistic wellbeing.
Our approach looks at the whole picture – hormones, skin, weight, gut health, nutrition and mindset – because no two women experience menopause the same way.
Our mission is to help women feel informed, in control and vibrant again.
Common Health Concerns for Women 40+
Hormonal Changes & Perimenopause
Irregular cycles, hot flushes, brain fog and mood changes often appear years before periods stop.
Skin Health
Lower oestrogen can lead to dryness, sensitivity and dullness.
Weight & Metabolism
Hormonal shifts slow metabolism and change body composition.
Sleep & Energy
Night sweats and poor sleep drain vitality.
Gut Health & Digestion
Bloating, intolerance and sluggish digestion often stem from hormonal influence on the gut microbiome.
Mood & Mental Wellbeing
Fluctuating hormones can impact mood, anxiety and motivation.
