Looking for an Upledger trained Craniosacral Therapist Columbus Ohio?

Craniosacral Therapist Columbus

To begin with, education and experience are key when you are looking for a Craniosacral Therapist Columbus. Why? Because your time and health are important, and so is how you spend your money. My hope is that you find the best Craniosacral Therapist Columbus to take you on a journey of healing into wellbeing.

Upledger Certified

I took my first class from the Upledger Institute in 2002. Since then I have been drawn to learning everything I can in regards to Craniosacral Therapy. And I am so grateful that Dr. John Upledger moved from Michigan to Florida one day many years ago to open up the Upledger Institute.

At that time, he decided to take his medical background and shared an innovate approach for hands on work that could be used by Massage Therapists, physicians, dentists, bodyworkers of all types of people, including lay people. The amount of therapists who attend classes at the school continues to grow, and expand around the globe.

My opinion of why this is such quality manual work is founded in the integrity of The Upledger Institute and its Certification process. It takes a huge commitment and love for Craniosacral Therapy work to excel and create the best healthy dynamics for the body to heal. Craniosacral Practitioners are just students until they quality through certification. It’s a rigorous process to learn the in depth techniques, anatomy and skills to become a Craniosacral Therapist Columbus.People who could once not find any helpful treatment heal. They grow and begin to look forward to life in a whole new way.

The techniques are also very gentle.Sometimes clients wonder at first if such a soft touch can do anything. Sometimes, with new clients, they don’t feel very much at the beginning. Because they are not tuned in to listening and feeling the subtle changes that occur. But the more time they give to receiving treatment, they always notice that they are feeling better. They may not be able to say that one stroke which may be found in a deep tissue massage was the shift, but they know that when they wake up everyday that their body feels better, and that their outlook is clearer and more upbeat. I can tell you why I think gentle work generates so much great change:

The touch is light, so that the body does not fight against the touch.
The Upledger Craniosacral Therapist is trained to listen to your Inner Wisdom, and allow that to run the session.
Trust- while Craniosacral Therapy can support SomatoEmotional Work, an experienced Therapist will never tell you what to do, what to think or how to feel. We are trained to support your process to be organic and heard from a neutral place.
For those of us who train up to the Diplomate Level, we are tested thoroughly on our knowledge and our practice. We have learned our anatomy, how to deepen our presence, and how to be available with techniques for our clients. Our tool box is at your disposal.
There is something magical on so many levels between the gentle interchange between an Upledger Craniosacral Therapist and client. There are no words, just a loving and healing conversation that expands and heals.

I could go on an on. But if you are in the Columbus, Ohio area, and would like to find out more, please call me for a free 10 minute phone consultation. I would love to hear from you and see if we are a good match.

Feel Great with Hot Stone Massage

by SharonHartnett | Nov 9, 2017 | hot stone massage

Lighten Up Therapies offers Hot Stone

Do you want to melt away that tension? Have you ever tried a Hot Stone? Our warm basalt river stones penetrate deeply into the muscles and get the blood flowing. They are also know to have a calming effect that helps to relieve chronic pain, promote deep relaxation and help the mind to quiet.

Hot Stone Massage

Today I had a client who thought she had a touch of sciatica. Sometimes, when a massage therapist hears this,he or she may start to dig into the rotator muscles. Instead, I heated up my stones and applied a gentle, yet consistent pressure over her piriformis and around the gluteus muscles. This helped to quiet the muscle spasm go away without putting extra pressure on the nerve. You don’t want any compression there. At the same time, in other areas where there was tension, I used the more pointed but round ends to get in after the tissues were ready.

The hot stone massage is able to reach deep, and help you to let go. Not to mention, that it feels more than great as the stones glide over the body with that wonderful warmth that give your skin an extra glow.

There are a few contraindications for Hot Stone Massage. If you are pregnant, have diabetes or other illnesses. Please consult your physician first. Your health is always of the utmost importance.

I always say that massage is more than a luxury. It promotes health and wellbeing on so many levels. But in this case, it does feel luxurious.

If you have questions about Hot Stone Massage, or if you would like to make an appointment, you can reach me at:

What is the Spiritual Way of Healing?

by SharonHartnett | Nov 8, 2017 | Energy Healing

What is Spiritual Healing Anyway?

In the “Now” time, I find this term “Spiritual Healing” to relate to the mind, body and sprit connection. Therapists who do this type of work are often more interested in a holistic model where the greater whole is living in each individual. With spiritual healing,it is the birthright of each person to self-realize God as a Human Being. And every single one of us has the potential to tap into our “Inner Physician” as coined by Dr. John Upledger.

From my experience, this is a little similar to older version of faith healing. But healers these days actually study energy consciousness in a different way. Often, people will hear about the aura. That is based on a chakra system developed in the Ayurvedic model. The first level of energy at the first chakra metabolized the physical energy, and it’s development aspect is trust. The second level relates to feelings about the Self, Creativity, and Sexuality. The third is the mental field. When it is clear, we think clearly. The fourth is the heart and our relationships. The fifth deals with speaking one’s truth. The sixth is unconditional love, And the seventh is our connection to God. There are various models with different interpretations, but these are the general principals.

What I find in the best Spiritual Healing Therapists or Practitioners is a great sense of Presence. What this means is that they are self aware through their own personal work. And they also have a Higher Sense Perception of Energy Consciousness. They know how to listen to the human energy field, and they also have the tools to know how to respond to areas that clients would like to be healed. When a powerful healer is in the room, you will often feel a sense of peace and also neutrality. But mostly each healer has their own journey which brings out a unique set of qualities in which they can share with people.

Spiritual Healing

Some healers are naturally talented. Others have studied and grown. When I became interested in doing healing work, I researched schools. I knew I had something, but it had not been uncovered yet. I made a decision and decided to do 8 years of study at the Barbara Brennan School . At the time, Barbara’s book, “Hands of Light” was popular. When I read it, I found it to be relatable. And I was so excited to meet her and meet others who had like mind. So off I went for the Professional 4 years and advanced studies. It was a powerful time for me of challenges and transformation.

I am not saying that all healers have to do the same, but I know that the school helped me to move into my creativity, my successes, and into my light. But if you are interested in finding out more about spiritual healing, look up healers and call for a free 10 minute interview. I know that I offer that. Because it is important to feel a connection between you and the person you are working with. Sessions can be held locally, or long distance.

Spiritual Healing is amazing. It touches your soul.

If you are interested in doing an long distance or a session in Johnstown, please call me and we can talk.

Local Massage Therapist

by SharonHartnett | Nov 1, 2017 | Craniosacral Therapy, Massage

Looking for a Local Manual Therapist to fit your unique issues?

The Columbus area is rather large. So you can count on a drive to get the best services.I know there are some large Corporations with many locations that offer less expensive, newly licensed people for a monthly rate. It’s hard to compete with that as a solo therapist. But what you will often find with massage therapists who work on their own long-term, is that they have built their practice on experience and knowing the best tools to therapeutically help people to feel better. We are still in business to stay because we offer the opportunity for real change and wellness. There is no quick turnover until we find a better place to go.

And finding the best Maual Therapist for you is a big deal. Each person has their reasons for wanting massage. Perhaps it is a SPA fluff job. But many people who are suffering and in pain actually prefer to be touched with expertise and good body listening and contact skills. Nothing feels better than to know that familiar touch that knows how to release and support the body in its own healing process. Building trust and a positive relationship over time, brings more awareness, self- empowerment, and better optimal alignment for movement.

I have been doing Manual Therapy for close to 20 years. My work has evolved through many trainings and years of hands on application. I am not going to go into all the techniques I employ, but will say, that as a Massage Therapist, I find great value and benefit in getting to personally know and understand what you are looking for as the primary objective. And primary though myofascial therapy, craniosacral therapy- my intention is to work with you moment to moment through self-discovery, releasing, and helping you to meet your health goals.

Sharon Hartnett: Massage Therapist LMT

I have two locations: Primarily Johnstown, Ohio. And sometimes in Worthington.

If you are looking for therapeutic change, you have come to the right place!

Neck Pain is My Specialty

by SharonHartnett | Oct 26, 2017 | craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy

Treating Neck Pain is something I do well.

One thing about Manual Therapists is that we tend to do the type of work that we like to receive. Relieving neck pain-I know a great deal about based on personal experience.

For me, I ran into my own challenges with severe arm and neck pain about six years ago. It was excruciating. My right arm felt like a constant charlie horse and nothing I could do made it feel better. It took about a month before my doctor got me into the right place to have it taken care of properly. Once I finally saw a neurosurgeon, he ordered me into surgery the next day. In my circumstance, I had a huge bone spur in my neck pressing against my nerve. My disc was a mess and needed to be replaced. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. But more than that- I would rather hear that people be more proactive than I was and take better care of their necks as soon as they notice any restriction or problem. Healing hands can help wonders!

neck pain

Don’t wait too long! As you get older and continue to use unhealthy structural movement, the worst things can get.

What I do for people who are really in pain, is start with the sacrum. I want to make sure that the sacrum ( a triangular bone in the back between the hip bones) is moving well. I bet you didn’t know this, but all the bones in the body move in a constant flexion and extension motion based on the fluid circulating around the brain and the spine. Once a therapist learns how to listen this way, the rhythm can be felt anywhere in the body. The sacrum is connected through the spinal canal up to the cranium (the skull). The occiput which is on the bottom of the back of the head should be moving similarly to that of the sacrum. Once this motion is enhanced and moving nicely, we go to the neck.

A stiff neck or soreness can be approached either by gentle or deep work. Each person responds differently. What I suggest though is a series of work when clients are in a lot of pain. People might hope to get things resolved immediately, but that seldom happens in all honesty. It takes years to damage the body, and it takes time to heal in most cases. So while we can get a lot of great change on the first session, the client is actually looking at a real commitment to get better.

For me, this is one of my favorite types of work. Relieving Neck Pain. Today, one of my clients who has been coming in for years, felt really tight along the SCM muscle and Traps. I so enjoyed just holding and listening to the tissues. Feeling them softly let go layer by layer. The deep muscles began to feel more alive, and motion started to roll under my hands and fingers. I worked with both the muscles and the fascia. While also staying in contact with the Craniosacral Rhythm . She quietly made sounds of relief. There is nothing better than helping someone move out of pain for me anyway. It’s a great feeling being of service to another like that. A sacred experience of sorts.

If you have been feeling deep neck pain, and want to get better. Feel free to give me a 10 minute free phone consult. I have had much success helping me to restore their motion and rotation. And it is my pleasure to help where I can.

Presence: Discovering Inner Wisdom

by SharonHartnett | Sep 3, 2017 | change, craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy, healing, Healthy Body, Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K, upledger institute

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.

Two Hearts Meeting Together

by SharonHartnett | Jul 18, 2017 | Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K, craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, healing, Massage, thought for the day

Today, I felt like writing an informal post about Hearts Meeting. A chat about how much I love my work. I am so fortunate that I get to wake up each day, loving my family, my home, and my interactions with life. It prepares me to be able to be in service in the work I chose. And I love working with people. Mostly because it opens my heart. And it opens other people’s hearts.

Hearts

In my work practice, I have clients come see me for a variety of reasons. Mostly people who are uncomfortable with something in life: their physical bodies, feelings, unclear thinking or relationships to the spiritual. I listen. I take in the story from a neutral place. And then I guide. My job is to facilitate the unfolding of my client’s own inner wisdom. For I am not actually the healer, but rather a facilitator of sorts. For over 25+ years, I have studied, worked and practiced healing techniques to help myself, those nearby whom I love, and my clients who want to connect with their Higher Purpose. People who want to feel at home in their bodies, their lives with heart and vitality. How I do that is by being Present with myself, my client and trusting the process of the energy dynamics. I center in my heart of hearts.

All of life has a stirring of energy. It lives throughout all of consciousness. I know this may sound a little far out for some. But I feel it in the presence of all living things. I feel it in myself, and especially when I connect from my heart to others. I may use energy healing, craniosacral therapy or Hakomi or such as tools, but what deeply matters is that we all are part of a sacred heart infinite web. Humanity is riding on just one small wave in the Universe, but everything is interconnected. We are interconnected. Yet we are also given this gift of discovering a sense of self. and while there may be many similarities between us, we each have a chance to write our own unique stories. In this, I find passion and heart. When I connect with my clients on the table, I love the brain and the body, but most of all-touching from my heart to another. It is so transformational and healing.

You don’t have to be a healer do this. We are all ordinary people, humble coming from the same Source. We all have the ability to heal the soul. It may appear otherwise, but the truth is that in the little things. we can make huge positive change. Choosing to love from your heart in any moment is a choice we can all make. Healing this planet, and all the people here is all about this and connecting to other hearts.

I finish now, with a heart full of gratitude for all my clients, as well as for the fullness in my life. And I wish you all the same.

Sleep Soundly at Night with Craniosacral Therapy

by SharonHartnett | Apr 29, 2017 | Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K

Sleep brings us restoration and clarity.

It’s time for bed. It would be nice to have your 7-9 hours of sleep so that you can feel refreshed the following morning. But the obsessive thoughts about work or your relationships swirl around your brain non-stop. Maybe it’s too noisy or the ambient light in the room is keeping you up. It could be you are hungry or your hormones are out of whack. Whatever the problem, you aren’t getting the rest you need.

There are some easy fixes to this. Shorten your naps to 20 minutes or less. Turn a fan or white noise machine on, go get a healthy snack, turn off the blue light technology in the room, seal your mattress against mites, buy pillows for comfort just to name a few. But if after all of this, you still are not finding the rest you need, consider finding a certified Craniosaral Therapist through the Upledger Institute to help you to sleep and feel better. Good sleep is crucial to our health.

One of the best benefits that result from Craniosacral Therapy is a balanced Central Nervous System. The brain and the spinal cord can come back into optimal peak performance. Any type of stress can be listened to by experienced hands through the Craniosacral System. This type of gentle work is geared to support your body to find harmony and to use its own inherent process of self-correction. The body is always looking to respond with a healing response, and this work uses techniques to enhance your own healing power.

sleep

Often, after about 5 minutes on the table, many of my clients snooze off quickly. The Central Nervous System knows when there is connection, and with the techniques, the stress slips away. Many of my clients have come back to me saying that not only has there pain disappeared, but also that they are sleeping better, eating better, and feeling more upbeat. And this makes sense because when stress is eliminated, adrenaline and cortisone won’t keep the body in active alert.

I do have some clients that come in that can’t relax at all. Their eyes stay wide open or they talk through the whole session. However, the more work we do together, those things start to slip away, and they begin to quiet down. It’s like getting a treatment mixed in with a meditation. And for people who have trauma, Craniosacral Therapy can use SomatoEmotional Release to help support the client to sense and feel more deeply in their bodies. As this happens, old stressful memories give way to more energy and feeling more vital.

Cranosacral Therapy is a great balancer for helping to restore healthy sleep patterns. Don’t you deserve to give yourself a good nights rest? It’s easy to go out and be interested in so many things outside of ourselves, but it is essential to start within first to promote health and wellbeing. Our lives begin with how we feel.

Relax with Safe Hands in Craniosacral Therapy

by SharonHartnett | Apr 22, 2017 | Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K

Good news! You can Relax again

Do you want to get your mind and body back on track? Find a way to relax again?

Most people who come into my office are looking for help in one of the four following situations:

Chronic Pain
Anxiety
PTSD
Concussions and TBI’s

Craniosacral Therapy in particular seems to address the symptoms associated with these conditions well.

One of the reasons why I became so intrigued with the Craniosacral type of work was that my practice attracted these types of issues, and I wanted to find a way to really connect and serve my clients. It was easy for me to see that many of the people who came in for a massage were feeling tense, and uncomfortable with their bodies. They were feeling stressed and afraid. So the first question I asked myself, was how do I help these people to feel better? And of course- the first thing that seemed necessary was to create a positive and trusting environment that allowed for deep healing.

How did I do start this journey?

I studied massage and bodywork, but also delved into body centered psychotherapy. With 2 years invested in Hakomi and some time studying trauma at SPI, I gained a good understanding of techniques. But I also went and had my own sessions so that I could expand and deepen my experience and hold a more rich and diverse space for clients to open up. I sincerely believe, that the more present we can be with ourselves as facilitators to the healing process, the more we are present for our clients. Furthermore, I studied at the Upledger Institute into the Advanced Levels, as well as going through the Highest Certification possible with them: The Diplomate. For this, I learned their methods on how to work with people on the table who were in need of emotional processing. This work is called SomatoEmotional work.

Some of the common principles that I work with are:

Creating Sacred Space- A place of safety and trust.
Allowing organic process to appear. No forcing or pushing, but rather being in time and space together.
Mindfulness- bringing awareness to the body in a gentle and kind way.
Using light touch that is caring. This allows the defensive patterns to be bypassed to go deeper.
Being aware of healthy boundaries
No giving advice. The Client has their own inner wisdom that can be engaged for self-empowerment.
Listening on various levels. Clients have much to say verbally, but also non-verbally. The body is a crucial aspect of the healing process.
Trusting the tissues, and the dialogue that happens in the silence.
Staying curious and in neutral. This means no judgments.
Keeping the work confidential unless instructed otherwise by client.
Using techniques that are supportive and nourishing.

Relax

Coming into the office, it’s important to find out for each individual, what helps them to relax. Sometimes people with anxiety and PTSD don’t have a clue how to do that. They may be used to living with hyper vigilance, guilt, disassociation, and or intrusive thoughts, just to name a few challenges. People who are tense or/and are in pain might not be able to focus on anything else. And I as the Craniosacral Therapist need to understand that there might be trauma, violence or emotional scarring that needs to be acknowledged.

So I listen to see what the stressors are. We address them one by one in a variety of ways. Sometimes this may take a few minutes and the person is snoring on the table, and other times, it may take many sessions. With patience, often the gentle touch of Craniosacral Therapy can sooth the Central Nervous system. I have had clients tell me after a few sessions that they can’t remember ever being so relaxed. The Craniosacral Therapy works with the cerebrospinal fluid that circulates around the brain and the spinal cored. Believe it or not, we craniosacral therapists can feel how it works with the body through a flexion and extension motion that can be felt anywhere on the body. Often when the system shuts off, we can tell when something significant is occurring, helping the body to release any cellular dysfunctioning. Our intention is to continue to support in as gentle a way a possible whatever unfolds and is ready to process. Also, I have personally studied the brain quite a bit, and find that is possible to directly dialogue with the tissues (i.e. meninges). Often clients who have not healed completely from concussions and TBI’s find great relief, more clarity, balance and presence after a series of sessions.

The key to learning how to relax again, and to letting go of painful and fearful states, is to bring awareness back to self in a kind, and compassionate manner. To be able to work together going deep into the Central Nervous System, we can help the body to come into better organization in its more natural way of being.

If you would like to find a way to relax again, safe hands and safe presence will help you to remember the way.

Feeling Overwhelmed by Life?

by SharonHartnett | Apr 12, 2017 | Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K

Overwhelmed is nothing more than leaving the current moment in our thinking.

One of the reasons why Craniosacral Therapy is so helpful to clients who are feeling overwhelmed is because the act of gently and trustingly touching a person can wake up the sensations in the body. Working with techniques as well as intention can bring the work to a whole new level of allowing awareness to grow. When a therapist works with the Craniosacral Rhythm, we are listening to what is happening is that specific interaction between therapist and client. We are curious about what IS…. and what the next wave of motion is going to be. By staying present in the moment with ourselves, we hold a template of sorts to bring our clients there with us.

Overwhelmed

Of course, even while staying present in the moment, the mind can wander in so many directions. There are stories, thoughts, beliefs that are melded with our emotions and our sensations. And often when we feel a sense of being overwhelmed, it is because we have at some level resisting allowing those to arise and to diffuse with the greater whole. First in the body, and then with the whole of life outside of the body.

By listening to the body, we can stay in neutral and support the upwelling of the creative wave. Things that have been suppressed, forgotten, avoided can re-emerge and take flight. People begin to feel alive again, with more vitality and a sense of empowerment. This though, can take courage because it was carefully wrapped up and tucked away for a good reason. And that may be scary, controlled or frozen. Craniosacral Therapy can help the therapist- client relationship to build trust, and a kind exchange of information that can unlock the non-consious. It is done organically and without advice, but rather with holding, care, and connection.

When we can slow down, breathe and learn Presence, it can alter our world. When we focus on what is right in our immediate lives with focus and clarity, it’s easier to love and to be kind. It’s easier to find peace when we are jumping into the future or escaping the past. It the moment, everything we need is available and present.

Whether you try Craniosacral Therapy or not, mindfulness and meditation can do much to alleviate the stresses of overwhelm.

Eckhart Tolle quote: Surrender is the simple but profound wisdom of yielding to rather than opposing the flow of life.

A mind at war is one that is fixed in judgment, or guilt or shame.

Life can only get easier when we go with life as it is. And help create the next creation with conscious choices.

My thoughts for the night about being overwhelmed. What say you?
