Join us for our next Menopause and Women's Health Café, (FREE Event) Chingford this time with a special guest Eleonora from Re-Set Pause, leading us through a Re-Set Self-Massage session.

This isn't about perfecting technique or fixing discomfort. It's an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body, and listen inward. Through simple, intuitive massage, we'll explore gentle touch as a way of accepting what's present and softening into relaxation creating space to nurture ourselves, restore balance, and deepen our sense of presence.

About Eleonora
Eleonora is the founder of Re-Set Pause and a qualified yoga and massage therapist offering office yoga across East London. After 10 years working in architecture, she left the industry to choose a slower lifestyle, refocus on her own wellbeing, and support others in reconnecting with their bodies and minds on a deeper level. Massage therapy and yoga taught her to slow down and relate to people differently and she now shares that same sense of presence with others.

Come along for an evening of connection, community, and a little time just for you.

📍 Ouna Café, Chingford
🕡 6:30pm, Wednesday 12th August

All women welcome — bring a friend!

Today is one of my favourite days in the calendar. 💚

May 28 — International Day of Action for Women's Health & Menstrual Hygiene Day.

Two reminders, one powerful message: women's health is essential, not optional.

Whether it's hormonal health, reproductive wellbeing, or simply being able to manage your cycle with dignity and without stigma every woman deserves access to knowledge, care, and support.

This year's theme says it all: Essential, Not Optional. Because in a world of competing priorities and pressures, women's health too often gets pushed to the bottom of the list by systems, and sometimes by ourselves.

So today I want to ask you: when did you last put your own health first?

Not as a luxury. Not as something to get to "when things calm down. But as a non-negotiable.

You are worth that investment. Always. 💚

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we’ve had to cancel our Women’s History Month event this March.

And honestly this wasn’t an easy decision.

International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month mean so much to us as an organisation. Celebrating women, uplifting women, creating space for women that’s at the core of everything we do.

But we also recognise that March is a deeply important time for many in our community, with Ramadan and Eid. And we never want to create something that unintentionally excludes or limits who can be part of it.

Because for us, it’s about all women.

So instead we’re going bigger

Within the next couple of months, we’ll be hosting a Women’s Health & Stories AGM a powerful space for connection, conversation, and community.

A space where:
Women’s voices are heard
Stories are shared
Knowledge is exchanged
And real connection is built

Because your story matters. Women’s stories matter.

And every woman deserves to feel: Safe. Supported. Empowered. Connected.

So when tickets are released, please do book early it really helps us shape something meaningful for you and our wider Waltham Forest community ❤️

This is more than an event.
It’s about bringing women together with understanding, compassion, and love.

And that is something worth waiting for.

08/03/2026

Today we celebrate the strength, courage, and resilience of women everywhere.

To every woman finding her voice, starting again, supporting others, and showing up even when it’s hard you are powerful.

Here’s to women supporting women.
Happy International Women’s Day 💜
