Melanie Sanders, Cranio-Sacral Therapist & Mamatime

Mel is a qualified Craniosacral Therapist with a special interest in babies and mothers . She has 40 years experience, initially as a nurse and for the past 23 years as a Midwife.

Cranio-sacral therapy (CST) is a very gentle light touch,non-invasive therapy. It is suitable for everyone from newborn babies to the elderly. A deeply profound therapy that helps connect a person with the ‘Self’ and  helps elevate the body to the ‘rest and restore phase’ of our nervous system, which is so often lacking in our busy lives.

As a midwife Mel is very aware of the impact the birth process can have on a baby, no matter which way they enter this world. Their skulls are designed to move to aid this process, but it is quite a journey and all babies could benefit from CST to assist them in settling everything back into its correct position which may help prevent issues/illness in the future.

Using CST my aim is to assist mother and baby in feeling calm, mentally and physically, after the experience of childbirth.

Mel runs her craniosacral practice from her log cabin near Steyning, West Sussex www.nurtureyourfuture.co.uk

Mel has two sons; her other interests include Kundalini yoga, meditation, swimming and walking in the countryside.
