Rewriting the Rules of Women’s Wellness

Every so often, we meet a woman whose passion, purpose, and personal story collide in a way that feels genuinely game-changing. Sanchia is one of those women. She’s rewriting the conversation around pelvic health on the Isle of Man, creating a space where women feel seen, educated, and empowered to thrive in their own bodies.

We’re so proud to celebrate her as this week’s PowerWomen.

From as early as I can remember, I’ve been endlessly fascinated by the human body. Not just how it moves, but how it heals, adapts, and surprises us when we give it the right tools. Movement has always felt like medicine to me, so becoming a physio was never really a question… it was the path I naturally walked into.

Ten years later, I’d worked across all sorts of fields, but something in me kept nudging for more… more impact, more space to help people heal in a way that felt personal. When I moved to the Isle of Man in 2019, I took the leap and opened my own clinic. The dream was simple: help people recover through intelligent movement. Yoga, Pilates, barre… all woven together to make rehab sustainable, empowering, and actually affordable.

And then motherhood shifted everything.

After my first baby in 2022, I knew something wasn’t right in my own body. I was strong, fit, doing “all the right things”, yet my pelvic wall was telling a very different story. And when I looked for help, I realised there was nowhere on the island that could assess me internally and externally, and create a programme that actually matched my needs. The more I spoke to friends, the more I heard the same thing… women struggling quietly, thinking these issues were “just part of it.”

By the time I’d had my second baby in 2024, I was in awe of what my body could do, but I was still struggling. So I got on a plane to London for an in-depth assessment. And that was my defining moment. I realised: If the support I needed didn’t exist here… I would become it.

I trained with some of the best pelvic health physios in London and immersed myself in everything pelvic: pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, endometriosis, incontinence, painful sex, internal assessments, the whole spectrum of women’s health we’re so often told to just put up with.

The challenges? They’re real.

One of the biggest is helping women understand why an assessment matters. You can’t guess your way to recovery; you need someone to look at what’s actually going on and build a plan around you, your lifestyle, your capacity, your goals.

The other hurdle? The taboo. Internal assessment can feel intimidating, especially when it isn’t a gynaecologist doing it. But just like them, I’m a trained professional with a safe, judgement-free space. My job is to work with your comfort levels, empower you with knowledge, and improve your quality of life, not just physically, but emotionally too.

What I love most?

Women. Empowering them, educating them, meeting women who want to thrive for themselves and their families. Seeing the relief on someone’s face when they realise their symptoms aren’t something they have to live with… that might be my favourite thing of all.

If you’re starting out in your own career…

Follow your passion and let your experiences shape your empathy. The more you understand people, the more powerfully you can help them.

My vision for the future

I want to create a warm, welcoming, safe space where no woman feels embarrassed to talk about what’s going on in her body. I want to be the go-to physio for women on the Isle of Man, whether that’s in person, online, through workshops, or courses.

Because here’s the truth we don’t hear enough: You are never “too far gone.”

Most issues can be improved. Women's health isn’t just about the core, it’s about the whole system working in harmony. Nothing is too small or too “awkward” to assess. The sooner you’re seen, the sooner we can start making things better, together.

Sanchia is the definition of a powerhouse in her field, blending expertise with lived experience, compassion with courage, and science with genuine care. She’s not just treating symptoms; she’s changing the way women on the Isle of Man understand their bodies.

We’re so proud to share her story, and even prouder to have women like her in our community.
