Women’s Health Directory

Empowering your health journey with our curated directory of trusted providers for every stage of a woman’s life.

Women’s Health Directory

Our Mission is to bridge the gap between women and health care by providing a curated directory of vetted providers within Horsforth, Leeds and the surrounding areas. We believe every woman deserves a healthcare journey defined by dignity, clarity, and competence.

At W Fitness Leeds, we recognise that navigating the healthcare system can be overwhelming. Information is often fragmented, and finding a provider who truly listens can feel like a game of chance. We have provided a directory of local health experts dedicated to simplifying that search.

What We Do

We do the legwork so you don’t have to. Our platform provides The Gold Standard Directory. We don’t just list every clinic; we recommend the ones that meet our rigorous standards for patient care, inclusivity, and medical excellence.

Why Trust Us?

In an era of medical misinformation, we prioritise transparency.

Vetted Recommendations: Our “Recommended Places” are selected based on patient outcomes, peer reviews, personal knowledge, and qualifications.

How We Vet Our Recommendations

Every clinic and resource on this page is evaluated against our Four Pillars of Women-Centered Care. We use a mix of clinical standards and real-world patient feedback to ensure quality.

Pillar 1: Professional Credibility & Accreditation We verify that every facility is registered with a regulating body (e.g., hcpc) and that all staff hold active, board-certified credentials in their specialties.
Pillar 2: Patient-Reported Experience (PREMs) We analyse verified patient reviews and testimonials, looking specifically for “green flags” like:
- Does the provider listen without interrupting?
- Are complex diagnoses explained in plain language?
Pillar 3: Clinical Specialisation We look for facilities that specialise in their niche area, and are experts in that field.
Pillar 4: Accessibility & Transparency We check for clear pricing, “no-surprise” billing, and reasonable wait times. A great doctor is only helpful if you can actually get an appointment when you need one.

CHIROPRACTOR

Name: Horsforth Chiropractic
About: Hi, my name is Cathy Tansley, a chiropractor with 19 years of experience in helping a diverse range of individuals across different age groups. I see families from Leeds and the surrounding areas.
Over the years, I have honed my skills and expertise in various chiropractic techniques, including Activator Methods, Diversified, and Thompson techniques. I have furthered my studies to specialise in pregnancy and paediatrics, ensuring that I can provide tailored care for expectant mothers and children as well. My goal is to offer holistic and effective chiropractic care, addressing each patient’s unique needs and promoting their overall well-being.
My particular passion is supporting women to have a better more fulfilling birth and feeding journey, centred around their personal birth choices and to have a healthy recovery in body and mind. Raising children is a group effort and so other members of the family aren’t forgotten! I help the Dad’s and other parents too within the family dynamic. With over 19 years of experience to draw upon, the youngest person I have ever provided care for was just a few hours old and the oldest was 95. I get a kick out of seeing people get their lives back to be able to do more of what lights them up in their lives.
