Looking for A Craniosacral Therapist in the Columbus, Ohio area?

No Need to Look Further-

LaI’d like to welcome you into the World of Craniosacral Therapy This Fall.

You know, lots of people have not heard about Craniosacral Therapy. Although, it’s been around for a long time in some form or another- based on an Osteopathic Approach to manual Therapy.  So here we go to share the good news about CST!

The first osteopathic doctor was Andrew Taylor Still, who developed the osteopathic medical philosophy in 1874 and founded the first osteopathic medical school, the American School of Osteopathy (now A.T. Still University), in Kirksville, Missouri, in 1892. His approach was based on the idea that the body’s structure is central to its ability to heal, focusing on the musculoskeletal system and preventive care.

There have been many physicians since that time who have learned and evolved this business of an ostepathic approach to healing.  The doctor who made a big impression on me as a Structural Integration Therapist years ago was Dr. John Upledger.

Dr. Upledger was recognized as an innovator and leading proponent in the investigation of new therapies. His development of CranioSacral Therapy in particular earned him an international reputation.  Dr. Upledger produced a protocol with fresh techniques which could be taught to anyone working hands on with people hoping to feel better. The Upledger Institute was created in 1985 and thousand and thousands of therapist have been offering this work ever since.

Personally, I have enjoyed doing as a somatic therapist over the last 30 uears Craniosacral Therapy and SI and Brennan healing sciencce.

I have melded all of my training into a listening of each person who comes into the office.  The primary intention is to discover what inside of you is ready to heal and how do I help to activate that with a gentle nudge and sacred holding. Most often this is done with Craniosacral Therapy as sthe primary modality.

What does a CST session look like?

CST is known for being very gentle and supporting the deeper intelligence of the body to self-correct, change and integrate.  My clients often come in once a week for a month or two, then shift to every other week, then to a month, eventually to once in a while to maintain.  It really depends on each individual and what is happening in their body.

What Kind of Symptoms Does CST help?

Craniosacral Therapy is not used to diagnosed or to fix.  Instead it is a listening of the Craniosacral System and how it affects the Nervous System and other cells, tissues, and organs so that the therapist can help ease things into a healthier dynamic motion.  People often feel much more relaxed, balanced and stronger after a session.   Sometimes, issues like migraines, concussions, fibromyalgia,tinnitus, headaches, anxiety, PTSD, back and neck pain, and other ailments clear up.  People with autism have experienced very positive results as well.   Quite often in fact.

Craniosacral Therapy is not massage.  You come in and stay fully clothed, and the therapist will examine your rhythm and perhaps, like me also check for visceral manipulation possibilities, lymhatic issues or some do add massage therapy.

What I recommend is that if you are seriously hoping to work with an experienced craniosacral therapist in the Columbus, Ohio area or anywhere else, check the Upledger site to see who is best certified and experienced.  There is a wide difference in education and experience.

If you have any further question, I’d like to answer them.  I offer a free 15 phone consultation at 614 653-8111.

I have a special promotion going on for the first session through the end of December, call and check it out!

Warmly,

Who Is the Best Craniosacral Therapist for Pain, Trauma, Migraines, and Anxiety in Columbus?

When you’re living with pain, trauma, migraines, or anxiety, you may have tried many approaches — medication, physical therapy, or even talk therapy — and still feel like something is missing. Healing isn’t always about doing more. Sometimes it begins with slowing down enough to listen.

That’s where Craniosacral Therapy (CST) can make a profound difference. This gentle, hands-on approach helps your body release deep tension patterns and return to its natural rhythm of ease and balance. It’s subtle work, yet it reaches layers that words and willpower can’t always touch.

What Makes a Great Craniosacral Therapist

The best craniosacral therapist isn’t defined only by credentials — though training and experience matters. What makes a practitioner truly effective is presence: the ability to meet your system with calm attention and genuine compassion. Healing unfolds most deeply in an atmosphere of safety and trust.

Meet Sharon Hartnett, CST-D

In the Columbus and Worthington, Ohio area, Sharon Hartnett is widely known for her skillful and heart-centered approach to Craniosacral Therapy. With over 30 years of experience in hands-on healing and advanced certification through the Upledger Institute, Sharon blends deep anatomical knowledge with intuitive listening.

Clients often come to her when nothing else has worked. Whether they are recovering from concussions, navigating anxiety, or seeking relief from chronic migraines and trauma, they describe Sharon’s work as “deeply grounding,” “transformative,” and “gentle but powerful.”

How Craniosacral Therapy Helps

During a session, you rest fully clothed on a treatment table while Sharon uses a light touch to listen to the subtle motion of the craniosacral rhythm — the pulse of the cerebrospinal fluid around your brain and spine. Through this quiet dialogue, your body begins to let go of what it’s ready to release.

People often notice:

  • Less pain and tightness in the neck, back, and jaw

  • Improved sleep and digestion

  • Calmer nervous system and easier breathing

  • Greater emotional balance and resilience

A Space to Heal

How Much Does an Energy Healing  Cost in Columbus, Ohio?

If you’re exploring energy healing (like Reiki, intuitive energy work, chakra balancing, etc.) in Columbus, Ohio, one of the first questions you’ll likely ask is: how much does a session cost? The answer varies, depending on many factors, but this guide will help you understand the pricing landscape in Central Ohio — and how to choose wisely.


What Is “Energy Healing”?

Before diving into costs, it helps to clarify what we mean by “energy healing.”

  • This umbrella term often includes modalities like Brennan Healing Science Practitioners. Reiki, chakra balancing, intuitive energy healing, sound healing, distance or remote energy work, etc.

  • Generally, the practitioner works with subtle (non-physical) energies, guiding or channeling them to help clear blockages, restore balance, and support the body’s self-healing processes.

  • Because energy healing is considered complementary or holistic, it’s rarely covered by conventional insurance in the U.S.


Typical Price Ranges in Columbus Area

Based on local providers in Columbus and nearby Ohio, there is a large variance in price based on the basis of experience and training.Although,  for a standard 60-75 minute energy healing session in Columbus, you can reasonably expect to pay $60 to $150, depending on the practitioner, modality, and setting.


Factors That Influence Price

Here are the main variables that affect how much an energy healing session will cost:

  • Experience & credentialing of practitioner
    Healing Practitioners with more years of experience, specialized training, advanced certifications, or high demand may charge premium rates. For example, Sharon Hartnett has 8 years of training at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, has taught at the school, and also includes transformational work as well as reiki and angelic healing.

  • Modality & complexity
    A simple Reiki session might cost less than a hybrid session that combines sound healing, guided imagery, or chakra balancing.  Most Reiki Inititations are one or two days.  While this work is powerful in its own right, there is a big gap in training compared to, again-the Barbara Brennan Energy Healing School.

  • Session length & depth
    Longer sessions (e.g. 90 minutes) or ones with extra components (pre- and post-discussion, integration work) cost more.

  • Overhead & location
    Clinics or studios in higher-rent neighborhoods, with more amenities (comfortable rooms, ambiance, etc.), tend to charge more.

  • Packages, subscriptions & discounts

  • Many practitioners offer package deals (e.g. 3 or 6 sessions prepaid), sliding-scale rates, or donation-based pricing.  Once in a while, Sharon Hartnett offers 10 session packets at a discounted price.


Tips for Choosing a Practitioner

  • Ask for a consultation or introductory offer — many energy healers offer a shorter session at a lower rate so you can see how you like their style.

  • Compare what’s included — is there time for discussion before/after the energy work? Do they offer integration suggestions, follow-ups, or guidance?

  • Check reviews, references, or word-of-mouth — personal experience and reputation matter in this field.

  • Inquire about sliding scale or donation-based sessions — some healers offer flexibility for clients on tighter budgets.

  • Bundle or buy packages — if you plan on multiple sessions, packages often lower the per-session cost.


Bottom Line

If you’re in Columbus, Ohio, expect to pay roughly $60 to $150 for a standard 60-minute energy healing session, depending on the practitioner and modality. Shorter sessions can cost around $40, and extended or premium sessions may reach $150+. Always ask what you’re getting (duration, modalities, integration) and compare a few practitioners. Also, energy healing is an exchange.  Often if you pay on the lower side, you are getting that value. Training and experience does count and play a part in regards to skill level.

Sharon Hartnett at Lighten Up Therapies has been an energy healer for over 30 years.  Her formal training is at the Barbara Brennan School..

Her focus is on working with the four dimensions:  the physical body, the auric field, hara, and the core star.  You can find out more about this presitious school and the work by buying Barbara’s too famous books, “Hands of Light” and “Light Emerging.  Because of the extensive education and quality of Brennan Healing Science, prices will be higher than Reiki practioners.  However- you’ll be finding someone with great expertise and  a strong sense of presence and healing light.

Getting Life on Track with Energy Healing

Life can pull us in many directions. Stress, loss, or daily demands can leave us feeling disconnected from our natural state of balance. Energy Healing offers a gentle yet powerful way to reconnect with the deeper currents of who you truly are — your core essence of love, clarity, and compassion.

What Is Energy Healing?

Energy Healing works with the human energy field — the subtle layers that surround and interpenetrate the body. When energy becomes blocked or depleted, it can affect emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. By restoring flow and coherence, the body and mind return to their natural capacity for healing.

My approach blends Barbara Brennan Healing Science — a four-year, science-based training in hands-on energy healing and personal transformation, 4 years advanced training and teaching — with decades of direct experience and intuition. I’m also trained in Reiki, somatic awareness, and deep energy perception.

A Journey of Awareness and Empowerment

From an early age, I noticed the subtle vibrations in nature and the energy that moves between people. This sensitivity led me to the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, where I later became a teacher. There, I witnessed how people could awaken their natural capacity for healing by tuning into the intelligence of the human energy field.

Over the past 30 years, I’ve helped clients understand how their unique “energy bubble” — or field — interacts with others and with the world. When we learn how to sense and balance this field, we begin to release the past, quiet the worries about the future, and feel more centered in the present moment.

Healing the Self — and the Collective

My work goes beyond individual sessions. I believe that every person who heals contributes to healthier relationships, communities, and a more compassionate world. As we align with what we truly value and live from our deepest longing and purpose, that resonance naturally ripples outward — creating change that begins within and extends beyond.

What to Expect in an Energy Healing Session

Each session begins with a short conversation about what’s happening in your life and what you’d like support with. You’ll then lie fully clothed on a treatment table while I use light touch or work in your energy field. Many clients describe feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful, and more connected to themselves. Over time, they often experience:

  • Relief from stress and anxiety

  • Increased emotional clarity

  • Better sleep and vitality

  • A stronger sense of purpose and connection

Why Choose Energy Healing in Columbus

If you’re looking for an experienced energy healer in Columbus, Ohio, I bring decades of practice and a compassionate, grounded presence. My sessions combine hands-on skill, intuitive awareness, and a deep respect for your personal process. Whether you’re seeking physical healing, emotional release, or spiritual growth, this work helps you reconnect with your inner strength and the wisdom already within you.

Begin Your Journey Toward Wholeness

Healing begins with awareness — a simple pause to notice what’s truly happening inside. If you’re ready to release what no longer serves you and reconnect to the love and light at your core, I invite you to schedule an Energy Healing session in Columbus.

Together, we can restore flow, awaken presence, and help you live from your deepest truth.

What to ask when you contact a therapist

 

When you reach out, here are some questions to help vet whether they’re a good match:

Experience

“Have you worked with clients who have chronic migraines or recurring headaches?”

“Do you use pain psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, or mindfulness-based approaches with people in pain?”

Approach / Modality

  • “What methods or frameworks do you use (e.g. CBT, ACT, MBSR, somatic work)?”

  • “How do you integrate the fact that I have a neurological / physical health condition into therapy?”

Coordination of care

“Are you willing to communicate with my neurologist or headache specialist (with my consent)?”

“Have you worked in multidisciplinary teams (doctors, physical therapists, pain clinics)?”

Practicals

Do you accept my insurance (in-network)?

What’s your rate if out-of-network?

Do you offer sliding scale?

Are sessions in person, telehealth, or hybrid?

How often do you typically see clients in similar situations?

Sure mediation can help.  But wouldn’t you rather reach for your body’s own ability to deeply heal the core issue?  There are no guarantees, however-I have seen many people get much better over a series of Craniosacral Therapy and other manual therapies.  Often my clients feel well after a the orignal sessions and then end up coming about once a month to maintain.

If you ahve severe neck issues, it might be best to work with a team of practitioners/doctors.
