Katie Taylor is the founder and CEO of The Latte Lounge, an online platform for women over 40, which exists to help women in midlife thrive at home and in the workplace.
Katie created The Latte Lounge in 2016, after suffering for four years with misdiagnosed symptoms of perimenopause. Her community now supports more than 50,000 women with evidence-based information about women’s health, backed by a medical advisory team. It is a confidential space for midlife women to connect online and gain access and signposting to a range of health and wellbeing experts.
Katie has a special interest in perimenopause and menopause support in the workplace and offers events, training, policy/guideline writing and a consultancy service for organisations who want to improve menopause support at work. In 2021 Katie supported the menopause All-Party-Parliamentary-Group and the government’s Women’s Health Initiative, providing oral and written evidence to help ensure that menopause is positioned front and centre of the new women’s health strategy.
In March 2023 Katie was invited to Downing Street to meet with the Women's Health Ambassador Prof Dame Lesley Regan and Maria Caulfield MP to discuss the new 10 year Women's Health Strategy, and returned that October to run a Menopause in the Workplace event with the No 10 staff.
Katie is proud to be part of the #MakeMenopauseMatter campaign team, founded by Diane Danzebrink in 2018, which has been instrumental in making huge changes around menopause education and support in the UK. She is currently working on her first book, for publication in spring 2025.
