Virtual Energy Healing: Long-Distance Sessions with a Barbara Brennan–Trained Healer

Receive deep energy work from wherever you are, by phone or video.

You don’t need to be in the same room to receive energy healing. I offer virtual energy healing sessions, also called online or distance energy healing, to clients across the United States and Canada, and I have been doing long-distance energy work for more than three decades.

I’m Sharon Hartnett, CST-D, an energy healer trained for eight years at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, where I was both a student and a teacher. My work blends Brennan Healing Science, Reiki, and somatic, nervous-system-aware practice, so your session is grounded, gentle, and paced to you.

What Is Virtual Energy Healing?

Energy healing works with the human energy field, the subtle layer of experience that many traditions describe around and through the body. In virtual energy healing, we connect by phone or video, and I work with your energy field remotely while we stay in conversation.

In the Barbara Brennan model I trained in, we pay attention to four dimensions: the physical body, the auric field, the hara line, and the Core Star. During a session I listen to what is showing up in your field, support what is ready to shift, and, when you want to, we explore the memories, images, feelings, and body sensations that come up.

Many clients describe feeling warmth, movement, deep calm, emotional release, or fresh clarity. Experiences vary from person to person and from session to session.

How a Virtual Energy Healing Session Works

1. We connect. At your appointment time we meet by secure video or phone. You are at home, comfortable and clothed, in a quiet space.
2. We set intention. We talk briefly about what you’re carrying and what you’d like support with. Together, we create a calm, private space for the session.
3. I work with your energy field. You can rest, close your eyes, and simply receive. I work with your energy field remotely and may check in with you along the way.
4. We talk through what arose. Sessions usually last 60 to 75 minutes and include time at the end to share what you noticed and how to integrate it.
5. You rest and integrate. Because you’re already at home, you can stay quiet afterward, drink water, journal, or take a gentle walk.

If we are doing a more interactive session, we may also use somatic tracking, which means noticing sensation, breath, and posture, to help you stay connected to your body.

Why Choose Virtual Energy Healing with Sharon Hartnett

• More than 30 years of experience with remote energy work, not a new offering added to a website.
• Eight years at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing as a student and teacher.
• Additional training in Reiki, Ken Kole’s Unwinding the Meridians, and angelic energy healing.
• A nervous-system-aware, trauma-informed approach. I’m a Diplomate-certified craniosacral therapist (CST-D, Upledger Institute) and have studied Hakomi and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy approaches. You set the pace, and nothing is forced.
• A simple rate: $150 per session, with package options for ongoing weekly support.

Virtual vs. In-Person Energy Healing

Virtual and in-person sessions use the same client-led approach, built on Brennan Healing Science. The main difference is location: in a virtual session I work with your energy field remotely, so there is no hands-on contact.

If you live near central Ohio and would like hands-on work such as craniosacral therapy or somatic therapy alongside your energy work, see my in-person energy healing sessions in Worthington. If you live anywhere else, or simply prefer to stay home, virtual sessions are the right place to begin.

Many clients benefit from both, moving between office visits and long-distance sessions as life allows. I have written about that whole-person approach in mind-body healing, in person or long distance.

Who Virtual Energy Healing May Be a Good Fit For

People often come to virtual sessions when they are:

• Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or burned out, or stuck in repeating patterns
• Moving through a life transition, loss or grief, or uncertainty
• Looking for a body-aware approach that goes beyond talk therapy
• Living far from a practitioner they trust, or unable to travel
• Recovering from illness or too fatigued to come to an office
• Curious about energy work and ready to explore what is available to them

Energy healing is a complementary practice. It is not a substitute for medical care or mental health treatment, and I’m glad to work alongside your doctor or therapist.

What to Expect in an Online Energy Healing Session

Before: Find a quiet, private place. Wear comfortable clothing. Have water nearby. If we’re meeting by video, use a device with a stable connection. A headset is helpful but optional.

During: You can sit or recline. Some people feel strong sensations, and others feel very little but notice shifts afterward. Both are common.

After: It helps to leave a little quiet time. Rest, hydrate, journal, or move gently. Some people feel energized, and others feel sleepy. We’ll talk about how to support integration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Virtual Energy Healing

Can energy healing really be done virtually?

I’ve been doing long-distance work for over three decades, and many of my clients tell me the experience is as meaningful as in-person sessions. Energy work is not something science has been able to confirm in the way it can confirm medical treatments, so I invite you to try it and notice your own experience. Many people find virtual sessions to be a gentle, convenient way to receive support. I answer this question in more depth in Does Distance Energy Healing Work?

What is the difference between virtual, online, and distance energy healing?

These terms describe the same thing: a session held while you and I are in different places. “Virtual” and “online” usually mean we connect by video, and “distance” or “long-distance” is the older phrase for the same work. I offer sessions by phone or video.

What is Barbara Brennan Healing Science?

It is an approach to working with the human energy field developed by Barbara Brennan, author of Hands of Light, and taught at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. I trained there for eight years as a student and a teacher. I explain the training in detail in What Is Brennan Healing Science?

What technology do I need?

A phone, or a computer, tablet, or phone with video and an internet connection. I’ll send you simple instructions when you book.

How long is a session, and what does it cost?

Sessions run about 60 to 75 minutes. The rate is $150 per session. Packages are available for ongoing support.

How many sessions will I need?

It varies. Some people notice meaningful shifts in one or two sessions, while others choose ongoing work. We’ll talk about what makes sense for you.

How is this different from Reiki?

Reiki follows a specific system of hand positions and symbols. My approach draws on Barbara Brennan Healing Science and intuitive work, which means I respond to what your energy field is showing in the moment rather than following a fixed protocol.

Is virtual energy healing safe?

The work is gentle, client-led, and trauma-informed. You are always in charge of the pace, and you can pause or stop at any time. It does not replace medical or mental health care, so please continue with your usual providers.

Do I need to believe in energy healing for it to work?

No. You only need to be open and willing. Skepticism is welcome.

Can you combine virtual energy healing with somatic work?

Yes. Virtual sessions can include somatic awareness, grounding, and breath-based practices, depending on what you want and what feels right for you. This whole-person way of working is what I describe in mind-body healing.

Do you also see people in person?

Yes. I have an office in Worthington, Ohio, serving the Columbus area, where I offer craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, somatic therapy, and energy healing. Learn more about my Worthington practice.
