Specialist physiotherapy and women’s health support in Winscombe, North Somerset

Thrive and Shine Women’s Wellness provides specialist physiotherapy and Pilates to support women with pelvic health, joint pain and movement-related issues during menopause, pregnancy and postnatal recovery.
I’m a women’s health physiotherapist with over 20 years of experience, specialising in pelvic health, joint pain and movement-related issues affecting women during menopause, pregnancy and postnatal recovery.
I qualified as a physiotherapist in 2005 and spent 17 years working in the NHS, treating a wide range of musculoskeletal and women’s health conditions. During that time, I saw how often care was limited to a single issue, without the time or scope to look at the full picture — particularly for women with multiple or ongoing symptoms.
I founded Thrive and Shine Women’s Wellness in 2022 to create a service that allows for a more complete and practical approach.
Since moving into private practice, I’ve worked with many women who have struggled to get clear answers or support, often managing symptoms on their own before seeking help.
My approach focuses on understanding what’s causing your symptoms and helping you manage them with a clear, realistic plan. This includes looking at how your body is moving, alongside lifestyle factors and how things have changed over time.
Alongside physiotherapy, I also offer Pilates to support strength, mobility and long-term recovery.
I also host the Making Sense of Menopause podcast, where I share practical information and conversations to help women better understand their bodies and feel more confident managing their health.

Living with a long-term condition myself has given me a better understanding of how difficult it can be to stay consistent, feel heard, and find the right support. My aim is always to provide straightforward, supportive care that fits into real life.
Outside of work, I enjoy amateur dramatics, art and spending time with my family exploring the Somerset countryside.
