About Thrive and Shine Women's Wellness
At Thrive and Shine Women’s Wellness, my mission is to empower women at every stage of life. I offer a range of specialised services designed to support health, confidence, and overall well-being through life’s transitions. I’m Roberta Bass — a women’s health physiotherapist, Pilates instructor, remedial hypnotist and menopause mentor — and I’m passionate about helping women feel more like themselves again.
About Me
I qualified as a physiotherapist in 2005 and have specialised in women’s health since 2015. Over the years, I’ve expanded my skills beyond traditional physiotherapy to include Pilates, hypnosis, and lifestyle mentoring — supporting both the body and mind.
My approach is rooted in treating each woman as a whole — understanding that physical symptoms often have deeper causes and that every woman’s experience is unique. I developed the SENSSE™ Method as a practical, holistic framework to help women improve their health by focusing on six key areas: Subconscious, Empowerment, Nutrition, Stress Management, Sleep, and Exercise.
The inspiration behind this wider approach came from watching my sister face early menopause following a stem cell transplant. She struggled for over two years without the right support. That experience drove me to create a space where women feel heard, understood, and supported — wherever they are in their journey.
Services
I offer a range of specialist services designed to support women through pregnancy, postnatal recovery, menopause, and beyond.
These include:
Women’s Health Physiotherapy for pelvic floor issues, pain, and recovery
Pilates classes and tailored 1:1 sessions to support strength and mobility
Menopause Support, including 90-minute MOTs and mentoring packages
Pregnancy & Postnatal MOTs to check healing, function, and overall well-being
Hypnosis (CONTROL Method) for anxiety, sleep, and behaviour change
Workshops and Events for menopause, anxiety, and holistic well-being
Online Courses (coming soon) to help you feel more in control of your health
For corporate settings, I offer wellness sessions and workshops that help organisations better support the health and well-being of their female employees.
What sets us apart
What sets Thrive and Shine apart is the combination of clinical expertise, real-life experience, and a truly holistic approach. I look at the bigger picture — not just a symptom in isolation — and tailor support to your lifestyle, goals, and personal circumstances.
You’ll never feel rushed or dismissed. Instead, you’ll get honest advice, empowering tools, and a plan that fits with your day-to-day life. Whether you need hands-on physio, emotional support, or help building better habits, I bring everything together to help you thrive.

Testimonial
Roberta is very knowledgeable and she has helped me with menopausal symptoms as well as anxiety symptoms. I underwent a course of hypnotherapy sessions which helped me to regain a sense of feeling more in control and helped to calm my nervous system. I would highly recommend her to anyone who would benefit from therapy and support with the areas above.
