I am a Craniosacral Therapist, working with an integrative somatic approach  in Worthington-serving Columbus, Ohio.

What “Somatic”  means is that I use my various trainings and experience to help you feel better, and feel more at home inside of your body with ease and peace through using techniques in connection with the body. Often clients end up leaving with a  more embodied natural flow of energy as well.  It is important to me that you find value and quality when you sign in for a somatic session.

Symptom Relief:  Through mindful listening and skill, Sharon’s Holistic Therapy can help you with:

  • Brain and Spinal Cord Dysfunction
  • Concussions
  • TMJ
  • Chronic Neck and Back Pain
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Learning Disabilities in Children
  • Tinnitus
  • Headaches/Migraines,
  • Foot and Ankle stiffness/Circulation
  • Grief
  • Addiction 
  • Autism 
  • Anxiety/PTSD
  • Increased Mobility
  • Postural Alignment
  • Deep Relaxation
  • Support for Trauma Recovery

 The body is super intelligence, and with the right support can move into its own healing direction.

 

Background as a Craniosacral Therapist

My background started off with energy healing in the 90’s, but then about 27 years ago, I decided to become licensed in massage therapy. Never did that very long, but invested  and worked in learning and practicing Structural Integration, and later attended and taught at the Barbara Brennan School.  One thing led to the other, and next I studied Hakomi, and Trauma Informed Work at SPI.  The work evolved with my clients, so I decided in the early 2000’s to move into Craniosacral Therapy at the Upledger Institute, and Visceral Manipulation at the Barral Institute.  Now I am certified at the highest level, “Diplomate”.

One reason I decided to write this particular blog is because when I searched other therapists, I realized there was some confusing marketing out there. I felt compelled to speak up about this because, you-as paying clients-deserve to understand what you are getting when you call and make an appointment.  Make sure that you interview by phone and get a real clear idea of credentials. For example, you may search someone and they list at the top, but never took a class in what they are marketing.  Also, there is a big difference between a person who takes one class, and someone who is committed to extensive training and practice. When someone markets Craniosacral Therapy as a massage-that isn’t accurate.  It’s not massage- it’s a whole other system.  Also- ask direct questions to make sure that the therapist are marketing according to their real backgrounds.  This is so you can find the best match for you.  I want you to receive what you are looking for!

My recommendations to you is:

  • If someone is advertising or coming up in searches as for example, a visceral manipulation practitioner- ask them about their training and experience.  Are they being upfront with you about their training?
  • If you are looking for an expert Craniosacral Therapist- ask if they are certified, and at which level.
  • If you want to find a manual therapist who has trained in body centered psychotherapy and/or trained in trauma inflormed work- ask which school they attended.

My hope is that when you do your searches you are getting accurate and beneficial information to assure you that you are in “hands of integrity”.

Getting Life on Track with Energy Healing

Life can pull us in many directions. Stress, loss, or daily demands can leave us feeling disconnected from our natural state of balance. Energy Healing offers a gentle yet powerful way to reconnect with the deeper currents of who you truly are — your core essence of love, clarity, and compassion.

What Is Energy Healing?

Energy Healing works with the human energy field — the subtle layers that surround and interpenetrate the body. When energy becomes blocked or depleted, it can affect emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. By restoring flow and coherence, the body and mind return to their natural capacity for healing.

My approach blends Barbara Brennan Healing Science — a four-year, science-based training in hands-on energy healing and personal transformation, 4 years advanced training and teaching — with decades of direct experience and intuition. I’m also trained in Reiki, somatic awareness, and deep energy perception.

A Journey of Awareness and Empowerment

From an early age, I noticed the subtle vibrations in nature and the energy that moves between people. This sensitivity led me to the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, where I later became a teacher. There, I witnessed how people could awaken their natural capacity for healing by tuning into the intelligence of the human energy field.

Over the past 30 years, I’ve helped clients understand how their unique “energy bubble” — or field — interacts with others and with the world. When we learn how to sense and balance this field, we begin to release the past, quiet the worries about the future, and feel more centered in the present moment.

Healing the Self — and the Collective

My work goes beyond individual sessions. I believe that every person who heals contributes to healthier relationships, communities, and a more compassionate world. As we align with what we truly value and live from our deepest longing and purpose, that resonance naturally ripples outward — creating change that begins within and extends beyond.

What to Expect in an Energy Healing Session

Each session begins with a short conversation about what’s happening in your life and what you’d like support with. You’ll then lie fully clothed on a treatment table while I use light touch or work in your energy field. Many clients describe feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful, and more connected to themselves. Over time, they often experience:

  • Relief from stress and anxiety

  • Increased emotional clarity

  • Better sleep and vitality

  • A stronger sense of purpose and connection

Why Choose Energy Healing in Columbus

If you’re looking for an experienced energy healer in Columbus, Ohio, I bring decades of practice and a compassionate, grounded presence. My sessions combine hands-on skill, intuitive awareness, and a deep respect for your personal process. Whether you’re seeking physical healing, emotional release, or spiritual growth, this work helps you reconnect with your inner strength and the wisdom already within you.

Begin Your Journey Toward Wholeness

Healing begins with awareness — a simple pause to notice what’s truly happening inside. If you’re ready to release what no longer serves you and reconnect to the love and light at your core, I invite you to schedule an Energy Healing session in Columbus.

Together, we can restore flow, awaken presence, and help you live from your deepest truth.

How To Find Joy by Choosing the Higher Self

by | Jan 22, 2025 | change, craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, meditation, mind body & spirit, mindfulness, move effortlessly

Higher Self

What is the Higher Self?

 

One could describe the higher self as the deeper, timeless essence of who you are — a part of you that exists beyond the layers of ego, personality, and conditioned thought. It’s like the true center of your being, always in harmony with the universe and imbued with wisdom, love, and clarity. To understand it, think of it as the still, quiet voice within that knows and sees beyond your ordinary perceptions.  This is what Google says anyway. And believe it or not, I agree this is a great description!

In today’s world, there is a lot of suffering and pain. It’s part of he human condition.  It passed down along the lineage and through our cultures and religion.  We get so distracted with the stories from the past, it’s hard to imagine a life of compassion, great wisdom and greatness.  But it’s time to start feeling joy.  Right?

In today’s world, many people think it’s up to us alone to deal with our problems.  Be accountable.  Figure it out.  You can do it. Right?  While this is all true, along the journey of life, sometimes we do need help from others, and also from that place inside of us that transcends time and space.  Inside of us is the whole universe, and when we align with the Higher Self, it will open us up and awaken all the possibilities.  If you are looking for clarity, the Higher Self is the best place to inquire.

There is a good book I recommend by Susan Thesanga called, “The Undefended Self“.  I read this years ago.  And what she says in that book is powerful knowledge even today.

Sometimes, we need to cut through all the patterns of the past and commit to the Higher Path.  Even though it’s hard to let go of the past at times,  beginning to look inward for these wisdom resources will change everything for you.  Begin with mindfulness and prayer.  Listen to the responses that life brings back.  Open up this communication to the Higher Self, and the “old” will dissolve and thee “new” can begin.  Embrace the change and find your Inner Warrior.   Be courageous.  Be strong.  But there is you in making this choice, and there are your allies too.  Remember:). Jump into your Best Timeline.

How to Find Yourself in the Healing Process

How to Find Yourself in the Healing Process

by | Jan 15, 2025 | barbara brennan, change, Craniosacral Therapy, Energy Healing, healing, healthy, Spiritual Healing, upledger institute

Healing

The Healing Process is built on many moments of Life.

The Truth: Moments Unfolding with Change is Authentic Healing. Things do change instanteously and miraculously, but often in life relationships and time, one experience leads into another. The same thing occurs with the healing process.

 

For people hoping to Heal

Slow it Down With Grace

I get that you want things to happen quickly, and that’s totally normal.  You may also want to feel a deep shift in the first session.We live in a world where everything feels like it’s supposed to happen now. Or maybe you have been feeling uncomfortable or in pain for a long time. I get that can be difficult.  However, when it comes to life and healing, the truth is, the “process” is where all the real growth and change happens. Healing isn’t like flipping a switch, it’s like planting a seed. You can’t rush a seed to grow into a tree—it takes time, care, and patience.

In the process, you’re learning, adjusting, and becoming stronger. It’s not always easy, and it can feel frustrating, but the struggle is actually what builds resilience. Think of it like lifting weights—at first, you can’t handle much, but little by little, your strength increases. That’s how emotional growth works too. It’s in the moments that feel slow, or even stagnant, that you’re really building the foundation for long-term change.

So while you may want results now, the process is what makes those results sustainable. If you skip steps or try to rush it, you might end up back where you started, without having truly learned what you needed to. The key is to trust that the process, though uncomfortable at times, is actually your path to the very thing you’re craving—whether it’s peace, strength, clarity. It’s all happening in the journey, not just at the destination.

I share this with you because unrealistic expectations can actually stop the healing. In order to avoid disappointment, realize that the Healer is within You and it will happen as you are truly ready. A therapist or healer can help meet those places inside that desire change. They can nudge and hold a healing space for that change to happen. But most importantly your Higher Self must be tapped into for those places that feel stuck and may need to feel reassured in many different ways and on different levels.

The Journey of Healing is an ongoing process. Perhaps what you need will be resolved in one session. But it’s important for you to realize that the more complex the issues, more likely your healing team will need to re-evaluate on an ongoing basis.

One thing is certain though. Healing is an investment into yourself. You are worth it, and miracles can happen. Still be patient with yourself and the process. The flow will take you into the most unexpected and special places.

How Does Energy Healing Work?

How Does Energy Healing Work?

Energy Healing

Take a Step into Energy Healing

Learn and Experience Barbara Brennans Energy Healing Hands of Light…

Barbara Brennan’s Energy Healing is a holistic approach to healing that works on the premise that the human body has an energy field, often referred to as the “aura,” which interacts with the physical, emotional, mental, relationship and spiritual aspects of a person. Brennan, a former NASA physicist, developed a healing modality that integrates energy work with a deep understanding of the human energy system. Her approach is a combination of intuitive, hands-on healing techniques and a spiritual understanding of energy dynamics.

Here’s a breakdown of how Barbara Brennan’s 4 Dimensional Energy Healing works:

1. Energy Field and Chakras

  • The Aura: According to Barbara Brennan, the human energy field is composed of several layers or “auric fields” surrounding the physical body. These layers correspond to different aspects of a person’s being (mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical).
  • Chakras: These are energy centers located along the spine, each associated with different aspects of health and well-being (for example, the heart chakra relates to emotional health, while the throat chakra is related to communication).  Working with energy healing helps metabolize and balance the chakeras.

2. Perception of Energy

  • Healers trained in Brennan’s method use clairvoyant or intuitive perception to detect disturbances in the energy field. This might include areas of blockage, depletion, or congestion in the aura or chakras that can manifest as physical or emotional issues.
  • They also use touch to sense the energy in the body and auric field, working to re-balance and re-align the energy flow.

3. Healing Process

  • Clear and Restore Energy Flow: Brennan Healing involves identifying areas of imbalance or stuck energy and then helping to clear or release these blockages. The practitioner may use various hand movements, gestures, or non-invasive techniques to help the client’s energy field re-balance itself.
  • Cleansing and Strengthening: In addition to clearing blockages, Brennan Healing also focuses on strengthening the aura and energy centers, ensuring that the person’s energy field is vibrant, resilient, and healthy. This can be done through visualization, hands-on healing, or the use of different frequencies of energy.
  • Healing Emotional and Mental Patterns: Barbara Brennan emphasized that energy blockages often relate to deep emotional or psychological patterns. Healing the energy system, therefore, can lead to emotional or mental transformation, helping clients release old emotional wounds or thought patterns that contribute to dis-ease.

4. Reconnection with the Higher Self

  • Part of Brennan’s approach involves helping the client reconnect to their higher self or spiritual essence. She believed that our energy field is deeply connected to our soul and that true healing involves both physical recovery and spiritual growth.
  • Clients may also be guided to align more fully with their own personal truths and life purpose, contributing to emotional and spiritual healing.

5. Transformation through Self-Awareness

  • Brennan’s method is not just about external healing but also encourages self-awareness and personal transformation. The healing process can lead to greater self-empowerment and self-love. It is a way to create harmony within oneself and the world around you.

Key Elements of Barbara Brennan’s Energy Healing:

  1. Aura and Chakras: The energy field is at the heart of the healing process, with emphasis on the layers and the energy centers that govern the body and mind.
  2. Hands-On Techniques: The healer uses their hands and intuition to clear, balance, and strengthen the energy field.
  3. Emotional Healing: Many of the issues addressed through Brennan’s energy work are rooted in unresolved emotions or mental patterns.
  4. Spiritual Connection: The work is deeply spiritual, aiming not just to heal the body but also to bring about spiritual alignment and growth.
  5. Self-Empowerment: The healing process encourages clients to actively engage in their own healing journey and align with their higher purpose.
  6. Hara-Alignment: Healing from the Tan Tien, to the Soul Seat, and through the ID point.
  7. Core Star Healing:  Connection to the Divine Spark which is You.

Barbara Brennan’s healing work is often practiced through Brennan Healing Science, a specific system that she developed and taught in her books, including Hands of Light and Light Emerging. Healing is a dynamic process that can involve both physical touch and energy manipulation, but it is also an intuitive and spiritual process designed to bring about holistic well-being.

It’s worth noting that healing outcomes depend on the individual’s openness to the process and the depth of their emotional, mental, and spiritual work.

Sharon Hartnett CST-D and Energy Healer graduated from the Barbara Brennan School of Healing in 2003.  Afterwards, she continued her studies into Advanced Work and then to Supervise Barbara Brennan students as a BIP.  Later, she ended up teaching at the school.
