Statistics say that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys have suffered sexual abuse.
Many victims of abuse stay quiet about their experience. Isolation often leads them to feeling low self-esteem, and frightened about contact. It’s time to change that.
Craniosacral Therapy
Recovering from sexual abuse is an individualized process that is done with hope and help.
If one can only imagine after suffering sexual abuse in silence, what it would take to step out and commit to the healing process, know that resources are available.
Craniosacral Therapy can be very helpful if only for its therapeutic presence. Yet it is also a very gentle hands on therapy that is done with respect and in a neutral state of Being.This allows clients to have an experience of touch that is without judgment, where they can feel into their emotions and let go of residual trauma.This often takes many session to build trust, and to work with the Inner Physician within the client through mindfulness and self-discovery. This is not an advice type of psychotherapy, but rather a bodywork exploration into the senses, and feelings that come up organically within the bodywork context. By working with the Craniosacral Therapy rhythm, the therapist can monitor and support the Central Nervous system to balance and integrate.
Sharon Hartnett LMT has worked with clients with this modality in conjunction with psychotherapists to support self-discovery. Clients have learned to identify and build healthy boundaries, to self-regulate and move through their trauma at their own pace and time. Everything is done with respect and organic movement. There is no need to accomplish or go for a goal, but rather to allow the process to unfold in its own way. Everyone deserves to feel safe in their body.
If you are feeling stressed and and feel like you would like to try this CST, call Sharon Hartnett CST-D for a free 15 minute consultation.

Should you come in for a massage when you are experiencing a flu or cold this season?
I love working with my clients. Truly I do. My work and the people I touch bring so much light into my world. But I am always astonished that some of them come into the intimate setting of the massage room with either a full blown cold or flu. I know they need some TLC. But the massage table is not the best place to get it. Especially with COVID still present. It’s important to remember that your massage therapist LMT can get sick. But not only that, everyone she/he touches or who breaths in or comes into contact with a live virus is prone to catch the same thing with enough exposure.
Some of the symptoms to look for are:
Cold:
- stuff or runny nose
- sneezing
- cough
- eyes watering
- fatigue
- headache
- light fever
- congestion
Flu:
- stuffy and/or runny nose
- headache
- weakness
- fatigue
- dry cough
- fever
- congestion
- body aches and pains
Colds tend to be milder. They also seem to be much short lived.
For more information on colds and flu check out: Colds and the Flu
The best thing you can do is to rest, and take good care of yourself and others with plenty of sleep, and/or speaking with your physician. Also- just so you know, sometimes massage can aggravate your illness if too much activation is going on in your body systems. Not to mention, I think I have read that some Chicken noodle soup can really help to!
Don’t be afraid to cancel if you are sick:). Since I wrote this post, I have switched away from massage to Craniosacral Therapy. COVID has had a big impact on many so please be mindful of resting and taking care of yourself, as well as keeping others healthy!

Curious about how many healing sessions you need to resolve pain issues?
Well, the truth is no healer or therapist can give you that answer if they are being honest.
What we can offer is that we will use whatever tools and compassion we have to help you along on your journey back to health. And if you are looking for the best massage therapist, healer, health coach that can help you to re-connect to that force inside of you that can shift things toward wellbeing, the best thing you can do is interview, try new healing modalities, and make a commitment to stay with your own process as you learn from each relationship and experience.
Healing
When you interview possible massage therapists, the first thing you want to do is check in with your own intuition to see if you feel comfortable with yourself when you meet. If his/her presence sets the space as a comforting and an honest environment for you to open up, then that is a good indication. Next, it is important that you feel like your needs are really heard. Some therapists have routines and just do their thing. It is much more helpful to clients if each session is set up as a unique and moment-to-moment type of therapy. That way the dialogue between you and the therapist is based on the body’s own wisdom to self-correct through positive intervention. On the same note, in regards to communication, let your therapist know what pressure works best for you. Often the body will say one thing, but the ego has a completely different itinerary. Both of these need to be alignment for the best results. Lastly, look online for testimonials and google reviews. There is a huge difference between beginner practitioners and people will experience. You do actually pay for what you get for the most part when it comes to massage and healing. This is not to say that you won’t receive a good session from someone right out of school, but they won’t hold the same depth and width of hands on experience.
I have lots of clients who tell me that they have tried everything and nothing works. Well- that can be a challenge if the client doesn’t learn and see the benefits of each interaction. What I can say is that if you are in pain, that is your body or spirit telling you that something needs to change and your own system doesn’t have the answer yet. With this said, the history in the biology has often taken a lot of time to go awry, it takes time to work through restrictions, compensations and such before getting to the Source sometimes. Open your mind to new things. Allow yourself to trust your intuition and the people you work with. With time and patience, and good work- things can and often do change toward the positive.
Stay committed to your healing process. Nobody can fix you, but plenty of people and life itself will help you to heal. Dance in the new relationships you make, and don’t let anything or anyone take you off course from yourself.
Pain is an indicator that lets you know that something needs to change. Trust what is being created and let go of what you no longer need. Whether it is physical, emotional or spiritual- with positive intention- you can find your way back to Source.

The Journey
When Clients come to Lighten Up Therapies, it’s the beginning of a Journey. A Journey to Wellness.
Our hope is to support people to find the answers they seek, whether in relief of physical pain, emotional processing, opening belief systems, matter of the heart to spirituality. Yet, our claim is not that we have what any answers, rather that we have a seasoned set of experiential tools that are offered for facilitation of your own healing.
The Journey Inward
The Basics:
1.. By learning mindfulness, one can find his/her own answers…
Active, Open Presence by the Therapist and Client can change everything!

2. The intention of the Massage Therapist and Client are key.

Entering into Another’s Human Energy Field with a positive healing intention can open the door to new possibilities.Our hope is that through Craniosacral Therapy, Structural Integration, Massage, and Brennan Healing Science® that our skills will help support Self-Discovery, a more balanced alignment and a Deeper Sense of Embodiment. When you feel healthy in your body with grounding and fullness, life brightens up and its easier to navigate through challenges.
3. Dialogue with non-judgmental focus in the moment without analysis is healing.
Open Listening means open relationship.
Sessions are not about giving answers but instead held with the possibility of client’s finding their own truth. For real change and empowerment, the client must find what he/she seeks within. At Lighten Up Therapies, the work is about listening, mirroring, and offering new perspectives in the question. Sharon Hartnett LMT, CST, has completed the Hakomi program, studied Trauma Therapy with Pat Ogden at SPI, and worked with the Upledger SER model to facilitate this process for her clients.
