Beyond Talk Therapy: Somatic and Energy Integration.” I use hands-on expertise to listen to the body’s physical signals (Visceral) while clearing the energetic field.
What Is Energy Healing?
Energy healing works with the flow of energy in your body and life. When energy becomes blocked — through stress, trauma, unprocessed emotion, or life transitions — it can show up as anxiety, physical tension, relational difficulty, or a general sense of being stuck or disconnected.
In sessions, I listen deeply to what is presenting in the moment, supporting your system to surface unconscious patterns, clear those blocks, and reorganize naturally. This is not about me “doing” something to you — it’s about your own healing process unfolding, with skilled support. And sometimes a little nudge.

Who Energy Healing Helps
Energy healing is a good fit for people who are:
- Open to exploring themselves and stepping outside usual patterns
- Navigating life transitions, uncertainty, or relational challenges
- Experiencing anxiety, emotional blocks, or the effects of trauma
- Seeking a deeper sense of alignment, presence, and vitality
- Looking for a holistic, somatic approach that goes beyond talk therapy
Readiness and openness matter — energy healing supports what is already ready to shift in your system.
What to Expect in a Session
Each session is attuned to what you’re carrying that day. You may experience:
- Subtle or strong body sensations such as warmth, pulsing, or movement
- Emotional release, relief, or unexpected clarity
- Insights about yourself, your relationships, or recurring patterns
- Moments of deep calm, presence, and connection to yourself
- Also we often end with some sound therapy.
Integration matters after a session. Allowing the shifts to settle — through rest, reflection, journaling, or gentle movement — supports lasting change over time.
Real Client Experiences: What Energy Healing Can Shift
These are real dynamics from sessions, anonymized to protect privacy.
Family Dynamics & Emotional Reactivity A woman in her 50s came in feeling chronically tense and upset in her relationships with her adult children. Every conversation left her feeling drained and frustrated, and she couldn’t understand why the same conflicts kept repeating. In session, we traced that contraction back to a long-held pattern to her lineage — a belief that she was the problem in the family. As that pattern surfaced and began to release, something visibly softened in her. She left with a new sense of neutrality and spaciousness. Over the following weeks, she noticed she could stay calm in relationship which previously would have triggered her, and her relationships began to shift naturally as a result.
Trauma, Safety & Internal Boundaries A client with a history of abuse came in disconnected from her body — not unsafe, but numb, guarded, and unsure how to feel at home in herself. Through energy work focused on building internal boundaries and creating a felt sense of safety, she gradually began to experience her body as a place she could inhabit rather than escape. Held tension she had carried for years began to release. By the end of our work together, she described feeling more grounded and present than she had in her adult life. Her day to day relationships opened up as well.
Fertility, Alignment & Emotional Clearing A client navigating fertility challenges came in carrying a great deal of fear — and a sense of her body needing to prepare for pregnancy. Our sessions focused on clearing energetic and emotional blocks, building internal trust, and creating a deeper sense of receptivity and alignment. Eventually, she did become pregnant with a lot of joy. While energy healing is not a medical treatment and outcomes vary, she felt strongly that the internal shifts she made supported her body’s natural process.
Frequently Asked Questions About Energy Healing in Columbus
What does an energy healing session actually involve? Sessions are conducted either in person in Columbus or remotely. You remain fully clothed and relaxed while I work with your energy field — using presence, intention, and subtle touch or off-body work depending on what’s needed. Sessions typically last 60–75 minutes and include time to discuss what arose.
How is this different from Reiki? Reiki follows a specific system of hand positions and symbols. My approach draws on intuitive energy healing and Brennan Healing Science, which means I’m responding in real time to what your system is showing — working with what’s actually present rather than a fixed protocol.
Can energy healing be done remotely? Yes. Distance sessions are equally effective — energy is not bound by physical proximity. Many clients prefer remote sessions for convenience and find them just as impactful as in-person work.
How many sessions will I need? This varies depending on what you’re working with. Some people experience significant shifts in one or two sessions. Others choose ongoing work to support deeper patterns or continued growth. We’ll discuss what makes sense for your situation.
Is energy healing safe? Yes. Nothing is forced or imposed. The work supports what is already ready to move in your system — at a pace that is right for you. It is gentle, grounded, and client-led.
Does energy healing work alongside therapy or medical treatment? Absolutely. Energy healing is a complementary practice that works well alongside therapy, medical care, and other wellness approaches. It is not a substitute for professional medical or mental health treatment.

Can energy healing be combined with Craniosacral Therapy (CST)?
Yes, Craniosacral Therapy and energy healing are both gentle, subtle healing modalities that work with the body’s natural rhythms and innate capacity for healing. Both approaches engage with patterns of expansion, neutrality, and contraction within the body and energy system. Rather than imposing a treatment, the practitioner listens deeply and meets each person exactly where they are, following the wisdom of their system.
Every session is unique. Sometimes the body reveals an opportunity for nervous system regulation, stress reduction, or trauma resolution through Craniosacral Therapy. In those moments, we support the body’s natural healing processes and allow the nervous system to settle into greater balance and resilience. At other times, the primary issue may be held within the energetic field, an energetic imprint, or what some traditions call an energy cyst. When that occurs, the focus shifts toward energy healing techniques that help restore flow, coherence, and vitality.
One of the primary distinctions between Craniosacral Therapy and energy healing is their educational and theoretical foundation. Craniosacral Therapy emerged from osteopathic medicine and is grounded in anatomy, physiology, and the functioning of the craniosacral system. Its central focus is often nervous system regulation and supporting the body’s inherent ability to heal. Becoming a Diplomate Certified Craniosacral Therapist requires extensive study, clinical experience, and a deep understanding of anatomy, physiology, trauma, and therapeutic presence.
Energy healing encompasses a broader range of approaches and traditions. Some forms can be learned in introductory workshops, while others involve years of dedicated training and practice. My own energy healing background includes four years of study at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing (BBSH), followed by four additional years of advanced training and professional development.
About Sharon Hartnett — Columbus Energy Healer
I’ve been doing this work since the mid-1990s — not because it was a career choice, but because I experienced firsthand how transformative it is to work at the level of the energy body. I’ve sat with thousands of clients over three decades, and I still find this work extraordinary.
My training is deep and varied:
Barbara Brennan School of Healing — 8 years as student and teacher, trained in Brennan Healing Science and spiritual psychology
Ken Kole’s Unwinding the Meridians — working with earth energy, heavenly energy, and primordial chi
Reiki — certified in traditional Usui Reiki lineage
Angelic Energy Healing — working with higher-dimensional healing frequencies
Craniosacral Therapy (CST-D) — diplomate-level certification through the Upledger Institute, integrating somatic and energetic approaches
What this means for you: I’m not offering a single technique. I draw from a deep well of training to meet you exactly where you are — whether you’re dealing with a physical symptom, an emotional wound, or a spiritual question.
My office is in Worthington, Ohio — a welcoming community in the Columbus metro area. I’m also available by distance for clients anywhere in the US or Canada, and periodically at a farm setting in Johnstown, Ohio.

How Much Does It Cost To See An Energy Healer?
Some highly experienced or specialied practitioners like me (who focuses on healing the nervous system and associated trauma and physical challenges) may charge $150.00 to $250.00 or more, especially for more advanced work, for example, healers from the Barbara Brennan Schooll of Healing.
I offer a simple, consistent rate of $150 per session, regardless of the modality used. Package options are available for those looking for ongoing weekly support.
While pricing varies, the most important factor is not the cost, but working with someone who is skilled, present, and focused on helping you move forward with a clear plan for real change.
“What is the difference between Energy Healing and Reiki?
Reiki is one approach to energy healing. It has been taught through a Japanesse lineage line amd is based on the idea of the “universal life force being transmitted from practitioner to client . Often people are easily initiated in a week-end or may move further into the process of becoming a Reiki Master. Sessions may be done in person or at a distance.
Energy Healing is more of a catch all phrase for many differen types of energy healing. I have studied working with “angel energy”, Reiki, and mostly Barbara Brennan’s work for 8 years, and eventually teaching there at the school. Barbara brough this idea of eastern energy work to the USA as a pioneer in the 80’s. Now her work spans the globe.
Energy is everywhere. We all can access the “qi”. It’s just a matter of receiving through the tranmission or as a client. The more receptive and open you are, the easier it is to feel the energy and to heal. Energy work is great for calming the nervous system, and re-energize your life.
I specialize in Nervous System Regulation and Somatic Energy Therapy, utilizing the rigorous 4-year foundations of Brennan Science to help clients move out of ‘fight-or-flight’ and into deep healing.
