Massage Therapist
Sharon Hartnett LMT ( licensed massage therapist ), CST (Cranialsacral Therapist) is a nationally licensed professional Massage Therapist with over 16 years of experience, who specializes in pain relief, posture re-alignment and mindful body awakening. What this mean for you is that she works holistically to bring you back to center and feeling better in your body.
When you come in for a session, the first 15 minutes is oriented toward intake and learning about your history and what brings you into the office. This is offered for free during the first massage session so that your needs and background can be expressed. No rushing within this timeframe. The quality of the sharing helps Sharon to set a basic format for the session, yet at the same time stay open to the moment for whatever needs to happen during the table work.
The three areas where Sharon focuses are the:
- Fascial System
- Craniosacral System
- The Energy System
The fascia is key is helping to relieve physical pain. It is the material that holds all the contents in your body together. Without it, we would be a liquid puddle on the floor. That’s how important the fascia is to our wellbeing. By listening and following the fascial diaphragms and layers, it’s easy to hydrate and differentiate the tissues to allow the body to release and come back into natural balance. It also helps circulation, lymphatic flow, and basic body dialogue to enhance overall body functioning.
The Craniosacral Therapy is geared toward listening to the activity around the brain and the spinal cord. By following the cranium’s bones rhythmic motion of the cerebral spinal fluid, one can support the body, especially the nervous system, to balance and feel enlivened.
The body is full of energy movement. Whether it be the liquids, the nervous systems or connection between the organs. When there is a block, it feels disordered. By connecting and releasing the “energy cysts” one can restore vitality and flow. This can feel like pressure is relieved or that more space is available for the body to relax.
Sharon Hartnett has been a practicing massage therapist columbus. Her current locations are in Upper Arlington and Johnstown, Ohio.

Why do people feel so great after Massage?
In my opinion, it all boils down to connection.
Touch is such a key component to our health. It really is fundamental to life and happiness. So are we getting enough of it?
Increasingly, people are looking outside of their normal daily lives to find this type of connection in a safe and healing environment. Approximately 35 million Americans have found their way to massage.
The depth of Touch type of Therapies can go way beyond releasing physical pain and discomfort.
Massage Therapy can support a person when compassionate and invigorating contact is absent from life. I think in this day and age, many people have forgotten what it is like to hug, to hold hands or just to reach out a reassuring hand. With this type of connection missing- it’s easy to become isolated, to ignite feelings of frustration, fear, and anger. It’s easier to stay in conflict with a family member, friend or associate when touch is not involved. The intimacy of safe touch is literally sorely missed when absent in relationships.
Massage Therapy can help relax the body, the mind and spirit. When appropriate and intentional contact happens, it’s amazing how much better one can feel. The blueprint of your genetic expression can actually alter toward wellbeing.
There is nothing better than feeling relaxed, fluid and energized at the same time.

Judgment seems to make up a good part of our thinking. So much of our energy is spent on evaluating ourselves and others with our stressful jobs and things that need to be done during the day. The result is a body that forgets how to relax and Let Go. This can lead to pain, illness, and injuries…
By treating the body with Craniosacral Therapy, processing of the sensations, emotions, and thoughts can become more balanced. This can happen by listening to the wisdom of the body rather than focusing on our Inner Critic. When the tensions of the body can quiet down, enlivened movement and awakened sensation can support deeper realization and bring a smile to your face.
Why see a Craniosacral Therapist?
People are often unaware of the the effects of life challenges and how it affects the body’s tendency towards rigidity and muscular tonicity. The body gets numbed, stuck or develops pain patterns. A Craniosacral Therapist who is Certified by the Upledger Institute is trained to bring mindful awareness to the client with a very gentle yet awakening touch. By following the rhythm of the cerebral spinal fluid and the surrounding bones and tissues, restrictions and adhesions can release, allowing more free flowing dialogue between the body from a cellular level to the larger systems within.
Clients often relax so deeply that they start to snore on my table.
If you are the type of person that is always on the go, in the long run- you’ll stay healthier by learning to balance with the quiet meditative state of being. Extremes are only meant to be short-term in regards to health and wellness. Let us help you to Let Go of your stress.
Why not take a break and come in for some soothing of the mind, body & spirit?
Wellness
You will be amazed at how much better you are able to function when the body has released tension and is allowed to be at peace.

Myofascial Release has helped many of my clients to feel revitalized and more alive!
Yes, those membranes that contain, wrap around and support all the material in the human body are key in helping you to let go of dysfunctional patterns that keep your energy limited.
Myofascial Release is a holistic treatment that focuses on finding those tight restrictive areas of the body that keep pain internalized. By listening with our hands, fascial therapists can find those difficult places in the more superficial outer layers to deep inside at the core. By focusing on improving posture through releasing the fascia, the body can relax and find optimal efficiency in fluidity of movement.
Myofascial Release
When you feel better in your body, everything in your life changes. Your outlook brightens and the way that you interact with your world feels more positive.
Some of the symptoms that have been relieved through fascial work are:
- Headaches and Migraines
- Neck and Back Pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Menstrual Pain
- Pelvic Floor Tightness
- Sports Injuries
- Jaw Pain
- Scoliosis
- Neurological Disorders
- Chronic Fatigue
- TMJ and other Jaw Pain
- Carpel Tunnel
- Bad Posture
Myofascial Work can be approached with light touch to a deeper more penetrating contact. It’s up to the Myofascial Therapist to dialogue with clients to find out what level of pressure best suits the session. Sometimes as a physical restriction is addressed, the response can be painful even with only 5 grams of pressure. So make sure that you communicate what your level of feeling into sensation is to your therapist. Because if you tighten up in reaction, that is counter-productive. The best work is all about Myofascial Release.
What is so great about Myofascial Release is that once the restriction dissolves, it’s gone. Yet other layers must be addressed if you want a whole body approach to healing. It’s best to talk to your Therapist about a series of sessions to unwind or help the body let go of tension patterns. It often takes years or a trauma to bring the body out of balance. Patience, feeling with awareness and letting go can change your life if you give it a chance!
