✨ Healing Insights with a Craniosacral Therapy Blog: Articles to Support Your Journey

Explore posts on this Craniosacral Therapy Blog with ideas on:  holistic healing, and practical ways to reconnect with your body, mind, and spirit.

Welcome to my craniosacral therapy blog, where I share guidance, insights, and real-world wisdom from nearly 30 years of hands-on experience. Whether you’re curious about how Craniosacral Therapy works, looking for gentle ways to support your nervous system, or exploring trauma-informed healing in Columbus, Ohio—this blog is here to support your journey. Each post is written on this Craniosacral Therapy blog with care to help you reconnect with your body, calm your system, and remember your inner wholeness.

Your body remembers everything—even when your mind doesn’t. In times of stress, trauma, or overwhelm, it often protects you by storing those experiences deep within the tissues. Over time, these hidden patterns can show up as chronic pain, anxiety, fatigue, or a sense of disconnection from yourself.

Craniosacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, and Somatic Therapy offer a gentle and respectful way to reconnect with your body and restore your sense of safety and wholeness. Through slow, intuitive touch and guided awareness, I help you listen to what your body is trying to say—so that it can finally exhale. These therapies support nervous system regulation, emotional release, and deep physical healing in a way that feels nourishing rather than overwhelming.

Many women find that this work not only eases physical discomfort but also reconnects them with a deeper sense of calm, clarity, and presence. Whether you’re navigating hormonal shifts, postpartum strain, unresolved trauma, or simply seeking to feel more grounded in your own body—this work meets you where you are.

If something inside you is asking for more ease, more connection, and a space to gently come home to yourself—I invite you to reach out. Let’s begin with a conversation to see how this work may support your healing journey.

The Importance of Feeling Understood.

The Importance of Feeling Understood.

Our names are a table that identify us. I am not usually one who likes to be labeled. But there is something so vital about being witnessed, understood an heard that feels so important to our human nature. With Craniosacral Therapy, touch is also about melding and blending while listening to a person’s Central Nervous System. When the person is met, something alive and deeper awakens. It’s that place where we long to be recognized and finally are in a very sensory way. Human beings are meant to be touched. Craniosacral Therapy is so gentle and compassionate. One reason I switched my main focus into Craniosacral Therapy was because it Brough to much more peace to my system. I see this all the time with my s well. It may take one session, or maybe many depending on the life circumstances. But it is oh so helpful in helping the body to deeply relax.

What Does a Craniosacral Therapist Do?

What Does a Craniosacral Therapist Do?

My wish is that people could understand how wonderfully helpful Craniosacral Therapy is in almost every situation: from large to small.

When a person is living in chronic pain, feeling lost, anxious or afraid. What does that person need? What does he or she really need to feel better? In a world that is based on individuality and independence, its easy to forget that we are all part of the whole and completely interconnected. Both iodide our bodies and to everything else in the Universe. The good news for us, is that we are always able to tap into the healing forces that exist at any time, even when we forget or lose touch with our true nature. What this healing looks like as it unfolds we never know, but in the deepest level, we will be changed and feel more deeply connected.

As a Craniosacral Therapist, my number one intention is to listen to the person on my table with my hands, with my heart, and to stay in curiosity with how their Inner Wisdom can help them find their way back to home inside. By melding and blending with the Craniosacral System (CSS), the Central Nervous System gets on board, and lights up the way for self correction and healing. Craniosacral Therapist use a very light touch and trust the body’s ability to heal and know what is best for each person. Sometimes clients can feel this during a session, other times all they can say is that they feel lighter and better at the end of the session or afterwards.

The Craniosacral System consists of the membranes and the fluids around the brain and the spinal cord. The Craniosacral Fluid is constantly being created and reabsorbed back into the blood which creates a flexion and extension movement that can be felt through the body. When a Craniosacral Therapist listen and supports this system, it helps to nourish and balance the CNS and the rest of the body, and helps to remove stress and toxins. Often when this happens, old memories, emotions and sensations arise. Like a wave, the person rides through and the tissues, soften, relax and hydrate The fascia finds new vitality and promotes better health through the continuous tissues within.

If you would like to find out more about Craniosacral Therapy, you can check out the Upledger Institute. Dr. John Upledger created the Institute many years ago, and his osteopathic approach to healing has spread across the world with much success. If you live in the Columbus Ohio area, I offer free 15 minute phone consultations and would be happy to address any of your questions at 740 966-5153.

Warmly, Sharon Hartnett CST-D
