Conditions I Commonly Work With

Craniosacral therapy may be helpful for:

• Persistent pain and tension

• Headaches and migraines

• Jaw tension and teeth grinding (TMJ, TMD)

• Stress, anxiety and overwhelm

• Fatigue and burnout

• Recovery following illness or injury

• Living with long-term health conditions, including ME/CFS and Long Covid

• Birth trauma recovery for mothers and babies

• Pregnancy and postnatal recovery

• Emotional stress, shock and trauma

• Times of significant change, loss or transition

People come to Craniosacral Therapy for many different reasons. My focus is not simply on a diagnosis, but on understanding how your symptoms are affecting you and what support might be most helpful.

Craniosacral Therapy in Somerset

Gentle hands-on therapy for pain, stress, tension and recovery

in Somerton and Yeovil

(South Somerset)

"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 clinics in Somerton & Yeovil, South Somerset.

I work with people of all ages experiencing a wide range of physical and emotional challenges, including persistent pain, stress, anxiety, fatigue, overwhelm, injury recovery and the effects of difficult life experiences.

My approach is gentle, practical and individual. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I take time to understand the bigger picture of your health, your history and what may be contributing to the difficulties you're experiencing.

What to expect

Your first appointment

We'll begin with a conversation about what's brought you here, your health history and any questions or concerns you might have. There is no need to have everything figured out before you come. Many people arrive simply knowing that something doesn't feel right and wanting support to move forward.

During the treatment

You'll stay fully clothed, usually lying on a treatment table. My touch is gentle and the treatment is unhurried. Some people notice physical changes such as warmth, relaxation, easier breathing or reduced tension. Others simply experience a quiet opportunity to rest. There is no right or wrong way to experience a session

At times I may also use more direct fascial techniques where appropriate.

After your session

People often report feeling calmer, more comfortable and more settled afterwards. Some notice improvements in sleep, pain levels or their ability to manage stress. Responses vary from person to person.

How many sessions

I generally recommend beginning with 3 sessions. This gives enough time to understand how your body responds to treatment and whether the approach feels beneficial for you. After that, we can review together and decide what feels appropriate.

There is never any pressure to continue treatment beyond what feels helpful and appropriate for you.

Craniosacral Therapy Session Pricing

First appointments are 75 minutes as they include a detailed consultation, where we will talk through your reasons for coming as well as a detailed history. Subsequent sessions are 60 minutes.

Session fees:

Initial session: £80

Follow up sessions: £65

(Babies and Children sessions are £60 for a 60 minute session)

Concessions are available for those on a lower income, or for block bookings (5 sessions @£60). Please get in touch to discuss.

Using light touch and hands-on treatment, I help reduce tension, improve comfort and support your body's natural ability to adapt, recover and function well.

Whether you're living with a long-term health condition, recovering from injury, adjusting to becoming a parent, or simply feeling that your body is carrying more than it can comfortably manage, treatment is always tailored to your needs.

I'd love to hear from you. (phone: 07711 939093 email: hello@michelledenise.co.uk)
