Welcome to Lighten Up Therapies, where we specialize in Visceral Manipulation. This gentle and effective manual bodywork technique, taught by the renowned Barral Institute, focuses on restoring mobility, tone, and motion to your organs and connective tissues.

By recognizing that motion is a vital sign of life, our trained practitioners, led by Sharon Hartnett, work with your body to facilitate healing and revitalize your organs. With a deep understanding of the body, Sharon provides support for the viscera in key areas like the abdomen, pelvis, thoracic, and cranium, encompassing your core body. Our approach is detailed, yet mindful and in tune with your body’s needs, using light touch and gentle techniques whenever possible.

While Visceral Manipulation offers numerous benefits, it’s important to note certain contraindications, such as acute flare-ups, abdominal aneurysm, bleeding ulcers, thrombosis, hemorrhage, and fractures. We also take precautions for individuals with diabetes, certain medications, vein dilation issues, and implanted medical devices. Rest assured, we always listen and work in harmony with your body’s intelligence to facilitate self-correction. We firmly believe in your body’s innate healing power and strive to help it reach its full potential.
