Mel Sanders  BSc (Hons) RM

Former Nurse & Midwife | Qualified Craniosacral Therapist

About Me â€‹

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.
