Conditions I Work With

Craniosacral therapy can support you with:

Chronic pain, illness and fatigue, ME/CFS & Long Covid - supporting the body's own capacity to regulate and recover

Anxiety, overwhelm and chronic stress - when the nervous system has forgotten how to settle

Times of transition - grief, life change and the sense that something needs to shift

Nervous system regulation

Birth Trauma Recovery for Mothers and Babies

Postnatal Recovery & Depletion/ Postnatal Depression

Trauma, Shock, PTSD and Injury Recovery - whether recent or long held in the body

Migraines and Headaches

TMJ, Jaw Tension and Teeth Grinding

People come to Craniosacral Therapy for many reasons, and it can support anyone, at any age. My focus is never on treating a condition in isolation, but on working with the person as a whole. If you’d like to read more about how CST can help with particular patterns or symptoms, I have written more about that here.

"Your body doesn't bloom under pressure. It softens, opens and grows where it feels safe"

Michelle Denise RCST, LSMT

Hi, I’m Michelle — a registered Craniosacral Therapist based in Somerton, South Somerset.

I offer safe, gentle & effective Craniosacral therapy treatments that combine presence, stillness, listening touch and fascial bodywork to bring about powerful nervous system regulation, release of tension and a reconnection to yourself. I deeply trust in the wisdom and healing power that lives in each of us.

To me, the magic of craniosacral therapy is what emerges in the moments when technique falls away, where I am simply present with you, listening to and following your system as its capacity to heal and reorganise awakens. Sometimes it feels like a playful dance, other times like poetry or a quiet, meaningful conversation.

I work with babies, children, and adults - anyone whose system is carrying tension, pain, overwhelm, birth imprints or stress. If you are ready to explore a touch therapy that holds space for deep change in a gentle, respectful and non-invasive way, I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out for a relaxed, no-pressure conversation. (phone: 07711 939093 email: hello@michelledenise.co.uk)

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY FOR MOTHERS AND BABIES

Craniosacral therapy for babies is extraordinarily gentle. There is no discomfort. Sessions are entirely led by your baby. Feeding, sleeping, being held in your arms, are all welcome. And for mothers - I hold an awareness of everything you may be bringing too. The experience you may have had with pregnancy and birth, whatever it was. The exhaustion. The worry. Perhaps a birth that didn't go the way you hoped, or a recovery that has been harder than anyone has acknowledged. Your nervous system and your baby's are deeply connected. Supporting one supports the other. I will often treat you both together, and you are so welcome here, exactly as you are.

If cost is a barrier, please do get in touch - I would love to find a way to support you. Home visits are available in or local to Somerton and Langport, if you are unable to travel to the clinic. First appointments for this years Summer Newborns (from 0-8 weeks) is £30.

I am involved in running the Somerset Low-Cost Craniosacral Clinic for babies and their families at the Sacred Birth Centre in Glastonbury. It runs fortnightly on Tuesday afternoons offering sessions for £25 (with concessions available) & you may drop in although booking is advised.
