The Inner Wisdom of my body brought me into Presence…

God Bless Our Inner Wisdom. The intelligence Within is powerful. When I was younger, I found myself fascinated by the human body and how it works. At a later ripened aged Craniosacral Therapist, I now find myself even more intrigued. Never is there a dull moment when I get bored with what I do. This is because I continue to study, explore and keep my mind open to new things arising in relationships: The people with whom I work, The world of Science, Touch and Healing, and of course with the magic of bringing peace and balance into any given equation. This is important to me so I can be the best version of facilitator I can be to support my clients. My best teachers, of course, are the moments when I meld and grow with each person who is willing to take a chance to heal and to deepen into Self-Discovery. Quite the adventure.

During every session, presence grows as I listen and support the inner wisdom relationship between me and my clients.. My mind, body & spirit feel much more aligned and deeply connected due to the quality of work to which I aim. Why? Because I understand that each client is a gift to me, where we dance together in mutuality for the highest good, and where the intention is focused on waking up into knowing health and wholeness. My clients come back, because I stay in a neutral place of non-judgment, open to the possibilities of getting better. Whatever it takes… My commitment is strong and based in care and understanding. Not to mention, an array of tools learned throughout the years.

The human body

As a Licensed Manual Therapist, the emphasis of my work has been on Listening, Connection, & Using the Tools that I have learned. One of the places I learned my unique approach to healing was in my Hakomi training. Ron Kurtz, who founded the Hakomi work taught that Loving presence is an incredible supportive way to create a therapeutic relationship that is safe, accepting and gracious. For me, this means being very aware of Who I am in the moment, and listening to the information that is presented by the inner wisdom of my client. This can be expressed in the wave of a breathe, a sound, a facial expression or sometimes through talk. Dialogue happens on many different levels. Through my Upledger Training, I have also learned to trust the Inner Wisdom inside of each person. It guides me, shows me the way to release and uncover old traumas, defense patterns, and dysfunctional patterns. Much of the time, I use the Craniosacral Rhythm and its Significance Detector to lead me where the body wants to go. Believe it or not, your body knows what it needs and that information is available.

The people who benefit the most from organic and natural healing are those who open up to all possibilities. People who take a chance to step outside what they know into the Unknown. This means feeling deeply into the sensing body, feeling emotions, and exploring belief systems. Coming out of the shadow and entering into the Presence of NOW. For example, I had a client who had lost her baby. During our SomatoEmotional work, she continued felt her deep grief, and expressed the pain that she felt inside her body. The pain at her loss. I listened to what her body offered to show me. After a series of sessions, she moved much more freely and felt so much better. It is such a difficult thing to have to go through, but she found that going in and through her broken heart, that she could live easier on the other side.

What I have discovered is that the best healing work is not about analyzing or figuring out the problem. But rather, I have seen through my manual therapy approach that focusing on supporting this concept of the “Evolving Presence” takes us into more expansion and a felt presence of health and wellbeing. The more we are mindful, curious and neutral, the more clarity and truthful we become. And the Truth does set us free. All the Craniosaccral tools in the world don’t mean a thing without have a solid foundation in Presence. Trusting the Inner Wisdom matters most in every session.

Healing Sexual Abuse with Craniosacral Therapy

Statistics say that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys have suffered sexual abuse.

Many victims of abuse stay quiet about their experience. Isolation often leads them to feeling low self-esteem, and frightened about contact. It’s time to change that.

Craniosacral Therapy

Recovering from sexual abuse is an individualized process that is done with hope and help.

If one can only imagine after suffering sexual abuse in silence, what it would take to step out and commit to the healing process, know that resources are available.

Craniosacral Therapy can be very helpful if only for its therapeutic presence. Yet it is also a very gentle hands on therapy that is done with respect and in a neutral state of Being.This allows clients to have an experience of touch that is without judgment, where they can feel into their emotions and let go of residual trauma.This often takes many session to build trust, and to work with the Inner Physician within the client through mindfulness and self-discovery. This is not an advice type of psychotherapy, but rather a bodywork exploration into the senses, and feelings that come up organically within the bodywork context. By working with the Craniosacral Therapy rhythm, the therapist can monitor and support the Central Nervous system to balance and integrate.

Sharon Hartnett LMT has worked with clients with this modality in conjunction with psychotherapists to support self-discovery. Clients have learned to identify and build healthy boundaries, to self-regulate and move through their trauma at their own pace and time. Everything is done with respect and organic movement. There is no need to accomplish or go for a goal, but rather to allow the process to unfold in its own way. Everyone deserves to feel safe in their body.

If you are feeling stressed and and feel like you would like to try this CST, call Sharon Hartnett CST-D for a free 15 minute consultation.

What is Craniosacral Therapy?

What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a light touch approach in bodywork that invites profound change and improvement into your life. It releases deep tensions from around the brain and spine to relieve pain and dysfunction while improving whole body health and performance. A seasoned Craniosacral Therapist begins by gently listening to different areas of the body in order to monitor the craniosacral fluid’s rhythm that is flowing around the Central Nervous System. It is possible to get a sense of where the flow is strong, weak or out of balance. As the Craniosacral Therapist follows the listening, she can move toward the source of the dysfunction and help to rebalance the problem areas. A Craniosacral Therapist is also trained to gather information within the fascia, a connective tissues that wraps around the body and interconnects as a web throughout the body. By using both hands to re-educate the memory of tissues, the body starts to remember a more healthy and relaxed state of being.

Great for relieving neck and back pain.

What are the benefits of Craniosacral Therapy?

First and foremost, Craniosacral Therapy balances the nervous system. For people who hyped up and have a difficult time relaxing, they will generally notice a deep letting go of tension and stress. On the other side of the coin, people who are tired and find themselves with low energy often feel more vital and sharp. By bringing the body back into balance, it resets itself to operate more efficiently. Because the Central Nervous System is engaged with the rest of the body, CST is helpful in other areas as well. some of the conditions that CST address are:

ADD/ADHS
Scoliosis
Central Nervous System Disorders
Infant and Childhood Disorders
Chronic Neck and Back Pain
Migraine and Headaches
Stress and Tension Related Disosrders
Chronic Fatigue
TMJ
PTSD
Orthopedic Problems
Learning Disabilities
Fibromyalgia
Coordination Challenges
Balances out Emotional Feelings
Autism
