Combining Infrared Sauna with Craniosacral Therapy
How to take advantage of the Infrared heat with your session
Sharon Hartnett is known for her expertise in craniosacral therapy (CST), a gentle, hands-on healing approach that focuses on the craniosacral system (the membranes and fluid that surround the brain and spinal cord).
Specifically, Sharon specializes in using craniosacral therapy to support individuals dealing with various physical, emotional, and neurological conditions. She works with the subtle rhythms of the craniosacral system to address a wide range of issues, from chronic pain and trauma to stress and emotional blockages.
In addition to traditional CST practices, she integrates insights from her broader understanding of somatic therapies, which may involve trauma work, body-centered healing, and supporting the body’s innate ability to self-heal. Her practice often focuses on creating a safe, nurturing environment for clients to release deep-seated tension, physical pain, or emotional stress through the soft melding and support of the of the skull, spine, and sacrum in particular.
Her specialty may also include work with individuals with complex or long-standing conditions, emphasizing a holistic approach that treats the person as a whole rather than just addressing isolated symptoms.
In addition, she has added the use of an infrared sauna to compliment the body’s healing with specific offerings. Feel free to ask more about how the Sunlighten Infrared Sauna can help you to feel better in your body.
Sharing the Infrared Benefits with Clients
Infrared saunas offer several potential benefits, both for physical and mental well-being. After just a few sessions with my new Sunlighten Amplify, I am loving it. It calms my mind and centers me.. So I decided that I going to offer one free 30 minute session with a purchase of a 10 package of CST sessions to kick off the New Year toward healthy living..
Here’s a breakdown of some of the Infrared Sauna key advantages:
- Detoxification with Infrared: The heat from an infrared sauna penetrates deeper into the skin compared to traditional saunas, which can help promote sweating and the elimination of toxins from the body. This process may assist in clearing out impurities and heavy metals.
- Improved Circulation: The heat can increase heart rate and improve blood flow, which may help enhance circulation and support better oxygen delivery to tissues. This can also promote healing and reduce inflammation.
- Pain Relief: Many people use infrared saunas to alleviate muscle and joint pain, including conditions like arthritis. The deep heat can help reduce inflammation, improve flexibility, and ease sore muscles by increasing circulation and relaxing tense tissues.
- Skin Health: Regular use of an infrared sauna may help improve the appearance of the skin. The deep heat encourages blood flow, which can support collagen production and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The increased sweating can also help cleanse pores and promote a healthier complexion.
- Stress Reduction and Relaxation: The soothing warmth of an infrared sauna can promote relaxation, reduce stress levels, and improve mental clarity. The calming effects of heat can help lower cortisol (the stress hormone) and increase the production of endorphins, leading to an overall sense of well-being.
- Better Sleep: Many users report improved sleep quality after regular infrared sauna sessions. The relaxation and stress reduction, combined with the drop in body temperature after leaving the sauna, can help promote a better night’s rest.
- Weight Loss and Metabolism Boost: The heat from an infrared sauna can increase heart rate and metabolic rate, helping the body burn more calories during the session. While it’s not a substitute for exercise, it may contribute to weight loss when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
- Improved Immune Function: The increased circulation and sweating can help boost your immune system. Some studies suggest that infrared sauna use can help elevate core body temperature, which may create a temporary “fever-like” effect, enhancing the body’s ability to fight off illness.
- Cellular Rejuvenation: The infrared light may stimulate cellular repair and regeneration by enhancing circulation and increasing the availability of oxygen and nutrients to cells. This can support overall vitality and energy.
Please talk to your physician First
It’s important to for me to say that while many people experience positive effects from infrared saunas, they may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with certain medical conditions.
It’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new wellness regimen. So please let me know if you physician can write you a prescription or a letter of understanding regarding its safety.
