Is this for you?
When your jaw is holding more than it should
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction is an imbalance or tension in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. It is often linked to stress, nervous system dysregulation, teeth grinding, posture and emotional tension held in the body.
The jaw is more than just a hinge. It often holds unspoken emotion and long-held stress, and because it is so closely connected to the head, neck and nervous system, I work gently with the whole body, not just the jaw.
“The jaw holds all our unsaid words and uncried tears.”
- Benjamin Shield
Clients often come to me with:
YOUR SESSION
What a session is like
Gentle and body-led
I combine gentle CranioSacral Therapy, fascia release, massage and gentle inner-mouth work, following your body’s cues rather than forcing change.
A safe, nurturing space
A calm, confidential space where you can fully let go. Your voice always matters, and all work is done with your comfort and consent.
After your session
You may notice subtle shifts as your body settles into a more balanced state. These usually settle within a few days.
I recommend beginning with 3 to 4 sessions, then we’ll review your progress together. See prices

QUESTIONS
TMJ questions, answered
What’s a session like? Will it hurt?
There can be slight discomfort when working inside the mouth, depending on how long the tension has been building. All work is done with your comfort and consent, and with respect for your body’s response.
Can stress contribute to jaw tension?
Yes, stress can play a large part in jaw tension, which is why I work gently with the nervous system as well as the jaw.
How long does TMJ tension last?
For many people, TMJ issues are temporary. Some find relief through self-care, while others enjoy gentle therapies like CranioSacral Therapy. If symptoms persist, please also speak with your GP or dentist.
