Background as a Craniosacral Therapist

My background started off with energy healing in the 90’s, but then about 27 years ago, I decided to become licensed in massage therapy. Never did that very long, but invested  and worked in learning and practicing Structural Integration, and later attended and taught at the Barbara Brennan School.  One thing led to the other, and next I studied Hakomi, and Trauma Informed Work at SPI.  The work evolved with my clients, so I decided in the early 2000’s to move into Craniosacral Therapy at the Upledger Institute, and Visceral Manipulation at the Barral Institute.  Now I am certified at the highest level, “Diplomate”.

One reason I decided to write this particular blog is because when I searched other therapists, I realized there was some confusing marketing out there. I felt compelled to speak up about this because, you-as paying clients-deserve to understand what you are getting when you call and make an appointment.  Make sure that you interview by phone and get a real clear idea of credentials. For example, you may search someone and they list at the top, but never took a class in what they are marketing.  Also, there is a big difference between a person who takes one class, and someone who is committed to extensive training and practice. When someone markets Craniosacral Therapy as a massage-that isn’t accurate.  It’s not massage- it’s a whole other system.  Also- ask direct questions to make sure that the therapist are marketing according to their real backgrounds.  This is so you can find the best match for you.  I want you to receive what you are looking for!

My recommendations to you is:

  • If someone is advertising or coming up in searches as for example, a visceral manipulation practitioner- ask them about their training and experience.  Are they being upfront with you about their training?
  • If you are looking for an expert Craniosacral Therapist- ask if they are certified, and at which level.
  • If you want to find a manual therapist who has trained in body centered psychotherapy and/or trained in trauma inflormed work- ask which school they attended.

My hope is that when you do your searches you are getting accurate and beneficial information to assure you that you are in “hands of integrity”.

Craniosacral Therapist Sharon hartnett Holistic Approach to Pain Medicine

Craniosacral Therapist Sharon Hartnett, located in the Columbus, Ohio area offers an integrative whole body approach to healing pain.

Often enough, people don’t stay home when they are sick to take care of themselves.  Often enough they ignore pain because they have been taught to move forward at all costs.  However, PAIN usually will find a way to speak, and can eventually disrupt your life.

Pain is a personal experience.  How we relate to it is an individualized experience based on our own biology, but also on psychological and social feedback we receive.  Learning to ignore it won’t make it go away.  Stored maybe, but still alive in the tissues.

Craniosacral Therapy is a modality of manual therapy which Listens to the body, what is being shared, and what is even quiet.  It’s in the melding between two people in a personal relationship that builds connection and allows support which can shift the dynamics of a person’s life toward health.

Allowing pain to be present and felt while being held through the craniosacral system can be rather miraculous.  It can transform our perception of our body, as well as our whole life.  The body is a doorway to learning and discovering self, and the release and integration process of our essential self which is rather empowering.

Dealing and facing pain can:

1.  Improve your day to day mindset.

2.  Can assist in relieving tension and suffering.

3.  Help you to achieve future goals.

I have been working with people for about 30 years.  Human connection, understaning and support is vital to our every day health.

Listening to the Body’s Deeper Intelligence

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle approach to listening to the body’s own deeper mind-body intelligence. Rather than trying to “fix” a symptom, I listen with my hands and my presence to what your system is already communicating. When the body feels safe enough to express itself, the central nervous system begins to balance, nourish, and restore itself from within.

This work opens communication with the essence and core of each individual. When the craniosacral rhythm is flowing freely, people often feel deeply relaxed, more aligned, and connected to themselves again. Over the years, I’ve seen clients leave sessions feeling lighter, clearer, and more at peace in both body and spirit.

Why I Was Drawn to Craniosacral Therapy

I first experienced craniosacral therapy decades ago. What struck me most was how such light touch could create such profound change. My body softened. My mind quieted. I felt healthier and more whole.

As a practitioner now, I use CST as the foundation of my work because it meets people exactly where they are. The body knows what it needs — my role is to listen deeply, stay neutral, and help the system find its own natural balance.

Many people assume that light touch is less effective than deep tissue work. In reality, working gently with the tissues and dialoguing with the nervous system is often far more powerful for lasting healing. The change arises organically rather than being imposed from the outside.

An Integrative, Trauma-Informed Approach

My practice combines craniosacral therapy, somatic therapy, visceral manipulation, and energy healing in an intuitive, trauma-informed way. Every session is customized to the person in front of me. I draw on what I’ve learned from the Hakomi Method, Barbara Brennan Healing Science, Upledger CST, and years of working with clients through trauma, injury, and personal transformation.

This integrative model allows the body to unwind from multiple levels — structural, emotional, energetic, and spiritual. Healing is never just physical; it’s a whole-person process.

What Happens in a Typical Session

When a client arrives, I begin by listening. The first few minutes are about connecting — hearing what brings them in, noticing their tone of voice, posture, and how they inhabit their body. Everything tells a story about how their system is adapting and compensating.

After about ten minutes, the client lies fully clothed on the table. I place my hands gently at different areas — head, sacrum, feet — and listen to the craniosacral rhythm. This subtle motion naturally goes into flexion and extension with pauses in between. I assess its quality, rate, and symmetry. Where there are restrictions, I support the tissues in finding balance.

Sessions last about 75 minutes, longer than most bodywork sessions, because I want clients to have time to drop into deep stillness without feeling rushed. Afterward, I ask what shifts they noticed and how they might integrate these changes into daily life. Healing continues long after the session ends.

How I Track Progress

Progress often shows up in small but meaningful ways — easier movement, deeper sleep, less anxiety, or feeling more “present” inside the body. Each session, I ask questions to help clients notice what’s changing.

Because the work is so individualized, I often suggest people start with three sessions to feel how their system responds. From there, we adjust frequency based on their goals and progress. Some people come short-term for an acute issue; others choose ongoing sessions for maintenance, stress relief, and emotional regulation.

Somatic Therapy: Bringing Awareness and Empowerment

Somatic therapy helps clients develop awareness of how emotions and experiences live in the body. Using a Hakomi approach, I notice subtle cues — a breath held, a shoulder tightening — and may reflect or ask mindful questions to bring unconscious patterns to light.

Sometimes, we explore these through small “experiments” in awareness. This isn’t talk therapy; it’s an embodied inquiry that helps people discover their own inner wisdom. When someone becomes more self-aware, they naturally become more self-empowered. They begin to trust their body again and make new choices from a grounded place.

Visceral Manipulation: Restoring Internal Balance

Visceral manipulation focuses on the gentle mobilization of the organs and their connective tissues. Every organ in the body needs a certain freedom of motion to function optimally. When there’s restriction — from injury, surgery, posture, or emotional tension — it can affect digestion, breathing, or pelvic health.

I often work with women who experience pelvic discomfort, digestive issues, or breathing limitations. Through subtle assessment and touch, I help release restrictions so the organs can move in harmony again. This work often relieves pain, improves range of motion, and restores vitality throughout the entire system.

A Trauma-Informed Lens

Over the years, I’ve worked with many women who have experienced sexual abuse or boundary violations. Healing touch must always be guided by safety and choice. Sometimes clients say they want touch but their body shows hesitation. In those cases, we pause and explore what safety feels like together before any physical work begins.

Empowerment is at the heart of trauma-informed care. My goal is never to override a client’s readiness but to help them rebuild trust in their own boundaries and sensations. Healing is not about forcing release — it’s about re-establishing connection to the self in a way that feels deeply safe.

Real Stories of Change

Over the years, I’ve witnessed remarkable outcomes — not because of me, but because of how powerfully the body can heal when listened to.

  • Tinnitus relief: A woman came in with persistent tinnitus that had been plaguing her for months. By the end of the session, the ringing had stopped — and it remained quiet when we followed up later.
  • Chronic headaches: Another client had experienced daily headaches for six years. Within ten minutes of gentle craniosacral work, the pain disappeared and stayed away.
  • Post-accident recovery: A young woman who’d been in a car accident and lost her baby struggled to walk and was overwhelmed by grief. After ten sessions, she could move more freely, felt calmer, and began reconnecting with life.
  • Concussion and sensory overload: One woman with foggy thinking and extreme light sensitivity after a concussion felt clear enough after ten sessions to resume outdoor activities and adventures again.
  • TMJ Jaw and mouthwork that released tension in the jaw and joints.
  • Post Surgery Recovery A client recovered quickly after breast surgery.  Her range of motion and flow was much better.

Not every case shifts this quickly — each person’s healing journey unfolds uniquely. But these stories remind me daily of why I do this work.

Physiological and Energetic Perspectives

Physiologically, I believe that every relationship and life experience influences the body. When I come from my higher self — grounded, experienced, and connected — it opens communication down to the cellular and even quantum level. The body begins to reorganize itself toward health.

Energetically, I work with both flow and structure. Sometimes that means clearing congestion in the chakras or balancing the auric field. These subtle levels often correspond directly to physical tension and emotional holding patterns.

Who Can Benefit

Craniosacral therapy can benefit nearly anyone — from babies to seniors. I work with people dealing with:

  • Back and neck pain
  • Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue
  • Migraines and headaches
  • Stress and anxiety
  • Nervous-system dysregulation
  • Emotional trauma
  • Postural imbalances and limited range of motion
  • A general sense of disconnection or depletion
  • TMJ Relief

The only contraindications are conditions like active aneurysms, blood clots, or other medical issues that require more acute care. Otherwise, this work supports overall wellness and prevention by helping the body function at its best.

A Community Approach to Healing

Since moving to the Worthington area, I’ve noticed a need for more connection among bodyworkers and healers. I believe in collaboration and often refer clients to other trusted professionals — physical therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors, and counselors — to make sure they get the most comprehensive support possible.

Putting the client’s needs first means honoring all aspects of their healing. True wellness happens when we see the whole person, not just a symptom.

Why I Do This Work

I do this work because I believe each of us is capable of evolving into the best version of ourselves. My teachers and experiences have shown me that living with core values — curiosity, compassion, and authenticity — brings meaning and purpose to life.

When we learn to listen to the wisdom of the body, life begins to flow differently. Healing is not just about relief from pain; it’s about remembering who we truly are and allowing life to support us fully.

Ankle Freedom, Upright Posture: A Craniosacral Perspective on Neck Health — Columbus Insights

Craniosacral Approach: Ankle Mobility for Better Posture & Neck Health in Columbus

After 30 years of being a craniosacral therapist and doing integrative types of bodywork,  it dawned on me how very important it is to free up the ankles in order for the neck to do the same.

 

A Bit about the Fascial System

The fascial system forms a continuous integrated architecture that literally connects your feet to your head.  Working with this seamless three dimensional connective tissue network beginning at the ankles and feet can make a huge difference in how you feel and move in your body.  It also directly affects the neck and it’s ability to sidebend, rotate and move in various directions.

Fascia is a seamless three dimensional connective tissue network that envelopes muscles, bones, organs, nerves and vessels.  It allows global integration and force transmission.  It is the medium through which all of life dialogues in my opinion.

In any case, recently what I have been noticing is that people who come in with neck issues, usually have a tightness in their lateral line.  That begins at the peroneous muscles and goes up through the glutes, transferring possible tension up into the SCM muslces and such.  Often this can lead to pain with headaches and migraines. There has to be efficient flow and communication from the head to the body, and the body to the head through the thoracic inlet.

Secondly, the plantar fascia and posterior needs to be considered as it deals with the arch and  gait for walking and movement.

We have other lines too from the toes which run up to the pelvis to the head as well.  So many relationships with which to work in order to restore better mobility and posture.

Your Goals with Craniosacral Therapy for your Health

The neck may be your weakest link.  You may come in with neck pain, and issues like migraines, headaches, and tinnitus.  You may believe that you need only local massage to release pain.  But this is NOT a local muscle problem.

With Craniosacral Therapy, we approach the whole body. As a Structural integration Therapist I look at the whole body. The reason is- every movemenet we make is about interconnected patterns.  What brings about optimal health and motion is addressing all the parts and patterns which add up to the whole.

As a somatic therapist, I know that you want to be feeling your best. I have to say though that most times, working only on the neck won’t bring you long term relief.  Everything needs to change to create better order and integration.

Whole body attention is much more comprehensive and effective.  You deserve to come in for treatments and to have your goals reached which most often are pain relief and better motibility. It is true that the neck probably needs a lot of attention, but the  thoracic inlet, head and everything down to your ankles and toes does need to be included  too in most cases.

My Goals for You with Craniosacral Therapy

First of all, my goal is whatever your goal is for yourself.  Each Craniosacral Therapy treatment is based on how your body communicates through the craniosacral system.  Bodies know how to move into the direction of healing, and I have faith in that dynamic to lead the session. In addition, I visually check your fascial alignment, and feel for twists, turns or any irregularities.  I treat based on what you and your body are telling me.  Each session is unique, as it should be as each person has their own way of developing and holding posture.

I find that by trusting the body’s communication and presnetation of patterns is the most effective way to treat.

Something I would like to invite you to do at home.

If your neck tightenss is  bothering  you, lie on the floor and feel how your neck and feet position themselves.  Are they even when you look?  Flexing your feet and pointing them, are you tight or do you move freely.  Can you move your feet from right to left and left to right with ease?  When you stand up, can you lift your toes? Do you stand on each side of your heal and the balls of your feet with balance.  What do your arches look and feel like?  Use your imagination and try to move your feet in many different planes of movement and see  what is limited and what is not.

After about 5 minutes of testing.  Get back on the floor.  Breathe in for 4 and out for 6.  Check in with your body and see how it feels after just the test. Do your ankles feel better?  Your neck.  Make a practice of finding ways to increase your mobility.

With Craniosacral Therapy, the motion tells me everything.  On a deeper level, I listen to what the fluids and nervous system show me.  I will help the body find alignment, and release tensions.  Even more powerful is helping you to center and integrate new changes that give you more freedom in your body.

My message to you is that everything is interconnected in regards to your posture. Your fascia and the Craniosacral System are key to releasing dysfunctional patterns.  However long it took you to get into a pain pattern- be patience and take your time to heal, and get well again.  You deserve Seslf-Care!

Somatic Therapy Columbus Ohio

  

A Somatic Approach to Healing Trauma, Pain, and Disconnection | Columbus, OH

By Sharon Hartnett, LMT, CST-D, Hakomi and SPI support

I never did expect that I would become a craniosacral therapist. Like many people, I started with a desire to help others feel better—but I hadn’t yet discovered the kind of work that would change me, and also support others from the inside out.

In the early days, I briefly began with massage therapy. It taught me the importance of touch, but something felt missing.  It didn’t move me in a way that felt meaningful.  So I moved into structural integration, a bold and powerful way to realign the body.  I learned to look and feel the fascia and understand the interconnection within. The results were visible—but the work was very assertive, and over time, it wore on my own body. I needed something more sustainable, more nourishing.  Bodyworkers need to listen to their own bodies with care, so they can do the same for others.

What I found was Craniosacral Therapy. Or maybe, it found me.

The Gentle Work That Goes Deep

When I first encountered CST in 2003, I was skeptical, as I practiced mostly Barbara Brennan’s work and  deep fascial work in an embodied somatic way. I didn’t understand all the brain and spinal anatomy along with the Craniosacral System. I really hadn’t heard about it much until I received it myself from a local Craniosacral Therapist in McLean, Virginia names Suzanne.  She was something else, and I felt very nourished and my internal environment began to shift in a new way.  So I wondered-could something this gentle really create meaningful change?

As I trained, practiced, and received sessions myself, I saw just how powerful CST was—especially when paired with somatic awareness. It supported not just the body, but the whole person. I watched people soften, unwind, and remember who they were beneath my hands as we worked with the pain, the anxiety, the disconnection.

This work changed me too. It taught me the power of the feminine in healing—how to listen rather than fix, to support rather than push, to witness rather than direct. I’ve come to trust that real healing happens when we make space for what’s already inside someone to emerge. Rather, it’s the balancing between the empty listening and the emerging movement that creates powerful change.  It’s the blend.

What People Feel After a Session

After a session, people often say: “I didn’t know I could feel this relaxed.”

That deep nervous system settling is more than just a nice feeling. It’s a gateway. In that stillness, the body begins to unwind old trauma. Emotions surface and release. Thoughts become clearer. Pain softens.

But it’s not always instant. Believe it or not- some people feel so unfamiliar with peace and deep relaxation that it takes a few days—or a few sessions—for the benefits to truly land. That’s understandable with the stressful lives we live in.  Also, healing isn’t linear, and it’s never one-size-fits-all. It’s a relationship—between your body, your story, and the presence of someone who knows how to listen.  Everyone shifts and changes at their own unique pace.  Usually, it takes about 5 sessions to truly feel the work making a big impact.

Healing Is Personal: Stories from the Table

One woman came to me after surviving abuse. For the first 10 sessions, I didn’t  touch her. Instead, I sat a few feet away—listening, witnessing, letting her body begin to feel safe again. Slowly, over time, her system began to tremble, release, and open. We weren’t just releasing trauma; we were helping her relationship to her own body to heal.  It was beautiful and full of grace.  Eventually we were able to do minimal hands on Craniosacral Therapy.

Another client came in after a serious concussion symptoms which she had been dealing with for two years. Her thinking was foggy, her balance off, and she was highly sensitive to light. After ten sessions, her clarity returned. A few months later, she enrolled in yoga teacher training—and today, she’s a craniosacral therapist herself.  An amazing therapist honestly.

There was also a woman in hospice care, diagnosed with terminal cancer. I saw her weekly for six months, using only the lightest touch. The doctors had given her 6 months to live—but months later, she was still alive, and eventually the doctors told her children that the cancer had gone. I don’t claim to know what happened. But I do know that something in her body responded to being met with gentleness and of course her own “inner wisdom”.  Something in her chose to live due to all the help around her.

These stories aren’t about miracles thought They’re about what happens when someone finally feels safe, seen, and supported—on every level.  There are so many possibilities in outcomes.

Why Somatic Presence Matters

Craniosacral Therapy works deeply with the nervous system, fascia, and energetic body. When combined with somatic therapy—like the Hakomi method, Upledger dialogue, and trauma-informed techniques—it becomes even more powerful.

In my sessions, I guide people to sense what’s happening inside: not just the symptoms, but the felt sense beneath them. I ask gentle questions. I reflect what I see. I stay in curiosity, allowing each person’s own inner wisdom to lead the way.

This is not about fixing. It’s about remembering and reconnecting.  It’s a powerful self-discovery process.

But… Does It Really Work?

People sometimes ask, “Can such a light touch actually do anything?”

It’s a fair question—especially in a culture that prizes doing, pushing, and proving. But the body doesn’t need to be forced to heal. It needs to be listened to.  It’s inner wisdom needs to be ignited to do the powerful work it is capable of doing.

There’s science to back CST, yes—but more importantly, there’s your own experience. I always say: try 4 to 6 sessions. See how you feel. The proof is in your body, not in statistics.

An Invitation to Come Home to Yourself

Whether you’re carrying trauma, living with chronic pain, struggling to sleep, or just feeling off—there is hope. And you don’t have to go through it alone.

In my Columbus, Ohio Craniosacral practice, I offer craniosacral therapy informed by decades of somatic training and real-life experience. I’ve worked with women, men, teens, and children. Sensitive people. Stressed-out people. People trying to heal from what they’ve never been able to name.

If you’re ready to feel more like yourself again—more relaxed, more present, more whole—I invite you to come in. Not for a fix. But for a beginning.

Because healing isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering who you are.

Warmly, Sharon Hartnett CST-D

3 Big Benefits of Receiving Structural Integration Therapy

3 Big Benefits of Receiving Structural Integration Therapy

by | Jan 24, 2025 | better posture, Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, Healthy Body, Massage, mindfulness, move effortlessly, Structural Integration

Structural Integration Columbus

How Structural Integration Chose Me.

The miracles of fascia work.

Structural Integration really helped me when I was in my 30’s after having children. My body was so out of alignment, especially after carrying children on my hip and bending over so much. The smartest thing I did was to find a local Rolfer. After 10 sessions, I felt so much longer and spacious, I decided to study it with another local teacher, John Latz for 18 months.

When I lived in the Washington DC area, and Florida, I had a wonderful private practice where I did mostly Structural Integration for many years. Eventually though, as I began to get older, I decided to move more into the Craniosacral Therapy because it’s easier on the body. What I liked about this transition is that both consider the fascia and have similar benefit, but the technques are different. Also, neither are truly considered massage, but instead manual therapy with their own unique perspective to healing.

For about the last 15 years, I have lived in the Columbus, Ohio area, and my primary focus is the Upledger Craniosacral Sessions. However, I still take into account the perspective of structural integration and stacking the body in alignment with the efforlessness of gravity consideration. Also, by addressing imbalances in posture, through the series, even with a gentle approach, it helps to reduce strain on muscles, joints, ligaments and lends to comfort in daily living. By working with the fasica, both in SI work and Craniosacral Therapy, we can help release restrictions, and unzip the body into new possibilities.

Three benefits I see often are:

1.  More energy

2.  Better Balance

3.  Improved Circulation and Motion

I believe that fascia is an incredible system that is still being uncovered and understood.  However, therapist have known this for a long time.  We have witnessed the strength and power of change with the fascia over and over again.

As I stated, I no longer do primarily Structural Integration, but I do “integrate” it into my Craniosacral Work.  It’s much more gentle, and more inclusive with its attention on the Craniosacral System and the rhthym.  I do sort of a combination with the fascial awareness.  It’s all about letting go of stress can creating a better environment for healing.

If you would like to find out more about how I work, I do offer a free 15 phone consultation.
