Craniosacral Therapist

Yes Craniosacral Therapy!

How can Craniosacral Therapy help you?

The best answer that I can think of is that you want to feel good again. If you are feeling stressed, if your body is in pain, or if you have been in a terrible accident, Craniosacral Therapy can help. I have treated people who have experienced great results who have come in with anxiety, Traumatic Brain Injury & Concussions, car accidents, TMJ, back & neck pain, just to name a few conditions. The major reason that I have success helping people as a Craniosacral Therapist is because I use a method that is so gentle, that the body welcomes the touch. I don’t have to force my work through layers of fascia. Rather, my hands listen to what the body already knows I trust that it can unwind painful patterns by using craniosacral techniques that are supportive and precise. I believe we want to heal, and that having a compassionate presence helps move that process through naturally. It feels to me like I hold a flexible yet centered point for my clients to re-organize around. It works for me as a therapist, and it works for them as clients.

I have been practicing bodywork for 20 years, and Craniosacral Therapy since 2003. During this time, I have studied and worked with advanced Craniosacral Therapy techniques, SomatoEmotional Release, and emphasized brain and spine related work in my work practice. What I have witnessed at times, is nothing short of a miracle. In 10 sessions, I have seen clients who have come in with fogginess, depression and pain get up and resume extraordinary lives. Now I don’t guarantee this, but it is possible. The people who have shown me the most success are those who are committed to their healing practice, those who are open to change, and those who can quietly take in the work, and express deeper thoughts, feelings and sensations as they show up during the session. This is because we are each whole. And when the mind, body & spirit connecting get tangled up, they need to be sorted out to tap back into the whole essence of the individual. When we connect to the deeper essence of life, great things can happen.

I don’t know that any one therapist is a Master in their own right. It is the client that has the power to heal. What you want to find in a Craniosacral Therapist is someone who has faith that your own “Inner Wisdom” who can show you the way back to health and wellbeing. As a Craniosacral Therapist, it is my job to use this model and all the techniques that I have learned to help you self-correct any dysfunctional patterns that show up. As you let go, the healing has begun.

I trust the Central Nervous System to communicate all of it’s know how as we set the stage for deep release, better balance, more vitality, and emotional clearing if necessary.

Craniosacral Columbus

Craniosacral Columbus

During the last 15 years, I have thrown myself into Craniosacral Columbus work. Why? Because I have seen so many positive results for my clients without having to dig in. For many years, I focused on deep connective tissue work. I thought that by leaning my body weight in that I could get great results. Often I did. But that type of work can be quite uncomfortable. So, I decided to go for the more light touch work that worked with the body rather than pushing through to see if I could get as impressive results for pain relief and integration. I do!

When a Craniosacral Therapist listens, your body tells us where there are restrictions in the functioning of the cerebral spinal fluid, and also the fascia. This “inner guidance” directs us where to go and how to support the Central Nervous (Brain & Spine Connection) system to function at its best. The more I practiced Craniosacral Columbus therapy, I began to see my clients go deeper inside, releasing tensions and often stuck emotions. Their bodies relaxed. Their stressed disappeared. Many times, I have had clients falls deep into sleep after not being able to sleep for weeks. The fascia began to melt so easily, excess energy released, and people woke up with no pain, feeling clearer and happier.

This was an easy decision. If I could help clients… people in pain from car accidents, those dealing with concussions, and neck and back pain, those with high anxiety- the picture was clear. I found my way to serve.

Are You Dealing with Chronic Pain?

by SharonHartnett | Dec 31, 2017 | craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, Massage, Structural Integration, upledger institute

Chronic Pain throws a jolt into life, doesn’t it?

One of the most difficult things about chronic pain is that there is no break. The body continually sends signals to the brain that say “OW”, and there is no rest on a physical level. If your chronic pain is lasting days, weeks or even months, you need some help. And if your chronic pain is coming from an illness level, it’s important that you seek medical help. In addition to that, naturopathic and/or functional medicine can also be very helpful in supporting an overall maintenance or health recovery.

chronic pain

What I would like to talk about is twofold. The myofascial component of pain, and also how the mind reacts to pain.

Fascia-If there is inflammation in the body, it often affects the fascia as pain or dysfunction of some sort. In the reverse, if the fascial body is tight, disorganized or unhealthy, it can also cause pain patterns. Because fascia interacts with all the living things in your body, it is important to address any myofascial issues that contribute to your chronic pain. The problem is that most people have never even heard of fascia. So they go on medications and travel the traditional route looking for answers. Sometimes- the answers are there. Sometimes not. Mostly, in my practice I receive clients who have found no resolutions anywhere. So what do we do? We begin a dialogue between my hands and the person’s fascia. The body tells me where to go. Whether there are tight sheets, torques, pulls, resistance or whatever- we work there until the soft tissues start to melt and re-vigorate. I look for more hydration, flexibility, motion and general health in the fascia. When this happens, compression and dysfunctional patterns disappear, leaving more flow and energy to help self-correct the physical body. The body eventually begins to feel more space and alignment, and voila- you can breathe again.
The Mind- It plays a huge part in how we respond to physical pain. It is true, that as human beings, we can suffer with physical pain. But there are other things that can make pain worst. And usually, believe it or not- when we ignore our pain- the pattern usually gets worst. Ignoring our bodies does not create better health. One thing that is helpful to do to relax pain patterns is to do a breathing meditation, Breathing with awareness helps to bring motion back into the body. Motion is vitality. On top of that benefit, when we start to notice our thoughts, and beliefs, we become more empowered in understanding how our mind is organized. When we experience our bodies, with gentle awareness, pain often softens and can actually subside. As we question our unhealthy thinking, the mind expands, and so does the space inside of us. I know, that sometimes it is easier to resist the pain- but that really doesn’t help long-term. Take some time each day to find the silence in the moment, the places in your body that are feeling good, or ask for loving kindness to fill you up. The mind’s relationship to pain is important. If you want to feel better, it is crucial that you start to explore other conscious choices.

I have worked with people on the table for close to 30 years. Chronic Pain is not the easiest thing to shift. But with a holistic approach, I have seen people get better, and heal. Looking at the foods you eat, your exercise schedule, how you think and act, along with your meditation practice can truly help. Finding a person to journey with you and support you through modalities like SomatoEmotional Release can be life changing.

Remember, that chronic pain can be a lonely place. Don’t leave yourself in that position. Get some help because your life is important.

Getting Clear about What You Want in Life

by SharonHartnett | Dec 30, 2017 | barbara brennan, craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, healing

You CAN get clear about what you want in life.

How?

What you need to do first is start by getting clear about your commitment to Clarity. Set certain times aside for yourself to explore. This can be done alone, or with a friend, healer or a therapist. Self-discovery is a very interesting process. It begins by bringing your awareness to your thinking and how it affects you. Cause and Effect.

Most of our thinking comes from our history and projections into the future. What we believe about our stories can become very important to us. And the filters that we now see the world through can be dimmed by repetitive belief systems. By realizing how we identify with certain thinking patterns, we can change how we experience and create in the world. Three keys to getting clearer about what matters to you:

Mindfulness is key for bringing awareness to thoughts that confuse and that block us from finding optimal value in our lives. And it is in the quiet listening to our thoughts as they pass through, that we can navigate into the deeper silence. Without the clutter, things are much closer to the heart and easier to navigate. Into the “Now” place, life springs forth and life is more simple.
Being Curious makes space for new ideas and perspectives. It’s like opening a door to see what’s next.
Experiencing means being with what is here right now in the moment.

Once the mind starts to quiet down. Awareness can be experienced as more expansive. We can step out of our normal living box. Perspective opens. The bigger picture gives us an advantage to seeing things differently and with more clarity. Experience and centeredness helps us to know what feels right for us. It helps to define our relationship to the moment.

The mind and its consciousness is a larger field than just one person alone.

There are infinite possibilities. But with healing relationships, we can investigate truth, and get more clear about who we are. Our false identities dissolve and life feels more simple, and more restful. Believe it- when the mind opens, clarity is a relief.

Getting Clear by reaching outside of “normal” thinking patterns.Reach for the sky!

clarity

My job as a Barbara Brennan Healer is to work with your energy. To create a space where we work together to create an exchange that supports your movement into clarity. A conversation that will set you free from illusion, and direct you into clarity.

Something deep inside of you knows the TRUTH. And it will set you free to direct your life with more ease.

Getting clear, that is my goal in helping you. To help you connect to the authentic value you are here to live.

If you are looking for help, I work locally and on Skype long distance.

Worthington Ohio Craniosacral Therapy CST

by SharonHartnett | Dec 26, 2017 | craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing

Announcing my move to Worthington for CST work!

Are you looking for Craniosacral Therapy (CST) in the Worthington Ohio Area?

I am newly open for CST two days a week at: 6797 N. High St. #333 Worthington, Ohio.

This is my new travel day into the city. Mostly, I have been working in Johnstown, Ohio. However- my friend has offered to let me use her office and the space has great energy, and is very convenient for my clients who often drive far.

I have had a CST practice for close to 20 years. Manual Work, close to 30! The reason I have been specializing in Craniosacral Therapy in the last 20 years is because the work is very gentle, yet truly helps people in the long run to get well, and more active in their lives. I have seen many of my clients find pain relief, lose their stress, and integrate into a more relaxed balanced people. More happy, and healthy holistically.

The areas where I have seen the best changes are with: headaches, neck and back pain, emotional stress related to the body, and concussions. But CST is helpful really for anyone. That is because it works primarily with the brain and the spine and how it supports the rest of the body. The work is profound, and as the sessions continue- people change their lives. They turn things around.

To see some of my reviews, go to: Lighten Up Therapies

The best way to find a Massage Therapist is by word of mouth. If someone takes the time to write a review, that means a lot! I am very grateful for all the positive reviews!

Feeling Better with Craniosacral Therapy

by SharonHartnett | Dec 1, 2017 | Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing

A question that invariably comes up at the end of each session is, “How long will it be until I am feeling better?”

That is a fair question. People want to be feeling better. They want to know what kind of investment they need to make in themselves in regard to time and money. I have been a Massage Therapist for about 20 years, and have been doing Craniosacral Therapy (CST) for about 15 years. And to be honest, I have to say, that if you have been in pain or suffering for years, it is possible to have a miracle with CST. I have seen huge changes in people, especially after multi-hand intensives. I have seen people in extreme pain get up off the table even after one session, so happy to be feeling better. But in actuality, it usually took years to fall into unhealthy stress patterns, and it usually takes multiple sessions to get better.

Feeling Better

An honest Craniosacral Therapist, or any good therapist for that manner- will never make you promises about your health. Why? Because thee is an Inner Intelligence in Your Body Mind that knows how to heal. And that is the way back to health. The rest of us therapists, are facilitators with tools in our bag, that can help with the process. But ultimately- it is up to you whether you heal or not.

Where does healing come from? Sometimes, we just heal by the grace of God. Our bodies, when healthy, can repair quite easily. So f we have enough internal resources, our body takes care of us really well. However, if we have chronically ignored our body signals, or have deep stress or have been in an accident- plan to make a commitment to your health and receiving the care that you need. Only you can make this decision to do whatever is needed to find yourself back in health.

With Craniosacral Therapy, our focus is to listen to that intelligence that is running through your body systems, especially the Central Nervous System. This includes the brain, the spinal cord and nerves throughout the body.. The Craniosacral Rhythm which results by the creation and reabsorption of cerebrospinal fluid shows us where there is health and where there are restrictions in the body that keep us from optimal wellbeing. With a very light touch, a cranosacral therapist can help the body to self-correct. Because the touch is so gentle, the body does not defend against the support and nourishment.

Every person deserves to feel good in his/her body, the heart, and in spirit. And there is an innate wisdom that we each have been blessed with that can help. But it does often take time and numerous sessions if you are not well. I am being honest and promising nothing. But what I can say, is that the body is a doorway to healing on so many levels. And Craniosacral Therapy can be a wonderful way to set sail. You can benefit best by making the decision to commit to your healing journey with a Professional.

Here is to You ” Feeling Better”.
