Our Story
Embrace Life was founded in 2009 by Kathryn Bishop and Sharon Armstrong with a vision of creating a welcoming, supportive environment where people could build healthier lives through access to a wide variety of highly skilled health professionals. That commitment to care and community remains an important part of who we are.
Today, Embrace Life is owned and led by physiotherapist Robin Sanderson, who brings nearly 20 years of clinical experience and over a decade of experience running small and medium-sized businesses. Under Robin’s leadership, the clinic continues to evolve with a strong focus on evidence-based, patient-centred care aligned with contemporary healthcare standards.
Our approach is centered around the three key pillars of health:
- Acute care – when you require support with a new injury or illness
- Chronic care – when you require support with a long term / ongoing injury or illness
- Preventative care – when you don’t have any specific injury or illness but want to invest in optimising your health and wellbeing
We aim to support patients at every stage of their health and wellbeing journey – whether recovering from injury, managing ongoing conditions, or proactively investing in long-term health and function.
A key strength of Embrace Life is our diverse team of practitioners, allowing patients to access a broad range of skills and perspectives under one roof. This enables us to tailor care to individual needs, preferences, and goals while maintaining a strong foundation in evidence-informed practice.
We are committed to providing care in a professional, comfortable, and discreet environment. All consultations take place in fully enclosed treatment rooms to ensure privacy and confidentiality at all times.
Our clinic also features a newly equipped, state-of-the-art rehabilitation gym, designed to support all levels of rehabilitation — from return-to-work programs and sporting recovery to maintaining strength and mobility for everyday life and hobbies.
While our clinical direction is grounded in current research and best-practice healthcare, we remain respectful of individual preferences and recognise that wellbeing is personal. Our role is to guide, inform, and support each patient in making confident health decisions.
At Embrace Life, our goal is simple:
To combine high-quality, evidence-based care with a warm, welcoming environment where you and your family feel supported in your health journey.
