Mel Sanders  BSc (Hons) RM

Former Nurse & Midwife | Qualified Craniosacral Therapist

About Me 

Hello, I’m Mel Sanders. For over 40 years I’ve had the privilege of supporting families through illness, pregnancy, birth and those precious early days of life. Although I’m no longer practising as a midwife, the desire to care has never left me. Supporting babies, parents, children and adults is still my passion — just in a different way.

Craniosacral Therapy allows me to continue that work: offering comfort, calm and connection through a gentle, holistic approach.

My Journey to Craniosacral Therapy

I’ve always been drawn to complementary therapies. I first trained in Reiki, but I knew there was more I could offer with my hands.

In 2014, my family’s world shifted when my fit, active husband experienced a stroke at just 51. It was a frightening and uncertain time. My sister-in-law, a Craniosacral Therapist in New Zealand, recommended CST to support his recovery.

Although he couldn’t clearly express the sensations during treatment, one thing was obvious: he was deeply relaxed and instantly brighter. Over the following days we noticed a remarkable lift in his mood — and for the first time in weeks, he belly laughed. In that moment, I knew we had found something truly special.

Witnessing the changes in him — and experiencing them myself — convinced me that Craniosacral Therapy was the path I had been searching for. I soon began my own training and have never looked back.

I would love to help you or your baby feel more at ease in your bodies, find stillness in your minds, and reconnect with your innate ability to heal.
