Craniosacral Therapist

Yes Craniosacral Therapy!

How can Craniosacral Therapy help you?

The best answer that I can think of is that you want to feel good again. If you are feeling stressed, if your body is in pain, or if you have been in a terrible accident, Craniosacral Therapy can help. I have treated people who have experienced great results who have come in with anxiety, Traumatic Brain Injury & Concussions, car accidents, TMJ, back & neck pain, just to name a few conditions. The major reason that I have success helping people as a Craniosacral Therapist is because I use a method that is so gentle, that the body welcomes the touch. I don’t have to force my work through layers of fascia. Rather, my hands listen to what the body already knows I trust that it can unwind painful patterns by using craniosacral techniques that are supportive and precise. I believe we want to heal, and that having a compassionate presence helps move that process through naturally. It feels to me like I hold a flexible yet centered point for my clients to re-organize around. It works for me as a therapist, and it works for them as clients.

I have been practicing bodywork for 20 years, and Craniosacral Therapy since 2003. During this time, I have studied and worked with advanced Craniosacral Therapy techniques, SomatoEmotional Release, and emphasized brain and spine related work in my work practice. What I have witnessed at times, is nothing short of a miracle. In 10 sessions, I have seen clients who have come in with fogginess, depression and pain get up and resume extraordinary lives. Now I don’t guarantee this, but it is possible. The people who have shown me the most success are those who are committed to their healing practice, those who are open to change, and those who can quietly take in the work, and express deeper thoughts, feelings and sensations as they show up during the session. This is because we are each whole. And when the mind, body & spirit connecting get tangled up, they need to be sorted out to tap back into the whole essence of the individual. When we connect to the deeper essence of life, great things can happen.

I don’t know that any one therapist is a Master in their own right. It is the client that has the power to heal. What you want to find in a Craniosacral Therapist is someone who has faith that your own “Inner Wisdom” who can show you the way back to health and wellbeing. As a Craniosacral Therapist, it is my job to use this model and all the techniques that I have learned to help you self-correct any dysfunctional patterns that show up. As you let go, the healing has begun.

I trust the Central Nervous System to communicate all of it’s know how as we set the stage for deep release, better balance, more vitality, and emotional clearing if necessary.

A bit about Craniosacral Therapy Worthington…

Craniosacral Therapy is great for most everyone. This work is so gentle and yet profound. The focus is on working with the rhythm of the craniosacral system to look for and release restrictions that negatively impact the Central Nervous System. What I find the best results with are: trauma-releasing emotional blocks, back and neck pain, fibromyalgia, headaches, migraines, concussions and basically for decreasing stress. But I also have clients who enjoy experiencing more balance, vitality and overall better health after a few sessions.

I also offer myofascial therapy for structural issues. I have been working with fascia for close to 20 years.

Announcing my move to Worthington for CST work!

Are you looking for Craniosacral Therapy (CST) in the Worthington Ohio Area?

I am newly open for CST two days a week at: 6797 N. High St. #333 Worthington, Ohio.

This is my new travel day into the city. Mostly, I have been working in Johnstown, Ohio. However- my friend has offered to let me use her office and the space has great energy, and is very convenient for my clients who often drive far.

I have had a CST practice for close to 20 years. Manual Work, close to 30! The reason I have been specializing in Craniosacral Therapy in the last 20 years is because the work is very gentle, yet truly helps people in the long run to get well, and more active in their lives. I have seen many of my clients find pain relief, lose their stress, and integrate into a more relaxed balanced people. More happy, and healthy holistically.

The areas where I have seen the best changes are with: headaches, neck and back pain, emotional stress related to the body, and concussions. But CST is helpful really for anyone. That is because it works primarily with the brain and the spine and how it supports the rest of the body. The work is profound, and as the sessions continue- people change their lives. They turn things around.

The best way to find a Massage Therapist is by word of mouth. If someone takes the time to write a review, that means a lot! I am very grateful for all the positive reviews!

Craniosacral Helps Children to Sleep Better

by SharonHartnett | Jun 10, 2014 | Craniosacral Therapy, Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K

Better Sleep is Possible.

Sleep problems are more common than you think. Many parents face the challenges of helping their children to get enough sleep through the night.

Young babies might wake up for feedings, early childhood issues may include separation anxiety, or perhaps the older kids have to get up at 5:30 in the morning to get ready for school. Whatever is interrupting your child’s sleep cycle needs to be addressed to stop sleep deprivation. Children need about 9 hours asleep to feel healthy throughout their day.

Some ways to address sleep issues is to:

Make bedtime a positive experience.
Be consistent with bedtime each night.
Cut down on caffeine and sugars many hours before sleep.
Eliminate TV and computer time for some quiet time before bed.
Read until sleepy.
Focus on relaxing activities rather than stimulation.
Massage can reduce stress and works wonders in helping one to sleep more deeply.

Peaceful Rest

From a Craniosacral perspective, reducing stress and anxiety through CST is one of the main objectives.

This is accomplished by:

Speaking in a gentle voice.
Using a Very light touch
Work within the child’s boundaries. Listening to body and vocal cues allows a therapist to honor what is needed in the moment.
Balancing the child’s neurological system through working with the cerebrospinal fluid.
Restoring better posture through fascial work.
Supporting emotional release as it occurs.
Allowing play during sessions.

Touch when done with clear intention and heart can be very relaxing and therapeutic.

Craniosacral Therapy has been successful in releasing restrictions and improving overall functioning of the mind/body/spirit connection.

What is Craniosacral Therapy? Sharon Hartnett CST in Columbus, Ohio

by SharonHartnett | Jan 12, 2014 | craniosacral, Craniosacral Therapy, Massage, Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K, mind body & spirit

-When I tell people I specialize in Craniosacral Therapy, they often ask me to describe what it is. While Craniosacral Therapy has been around for a while, it is just now coming more into the forefront as being known as an effective integrative health approach. So in order to bring even more clarity to this field of healing, I want to present this short blog entry. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me, Sharon Hartnett, LMT, for a free 15 minute phone consultation

Craniosacral Therapy is a light touch type of bodywork that enhances the functioning of the whole body by working primarily with the Cerebrospinal fluid around the nervous system. This is done with palpation from the feet all the way to the head. The name “Craniosacral Therapy” can be misleading because while the main focus is on listening at the cranium and the sacral area, this gentle manual therapy may be approached from anywhere on the body. During a session, a client remains fully clothed and lies down on the table for about an hour. The therapist will follow listening stations and help the body find its own healing course. Craniosacral Therapy’s relaxing and balancing effects may be felt physically, emotionally and spiritually throughout the session and afterwards.

Craniosacral Flow

A Craniosacral Therapist is a listener of the craniosacral rhythm much like a Counselor may listen to the words of a client. As the session progresses, the client often calms down and lets go of stresses and pain. The therapist is guided by the body’s own intelligence to follow any dysfunctional patterns and to help the system to self-correct. The quality, symmetry and strength of the craniosacral movements are strong indicators if there are restrictions or weakness in a certain area. As certain patterns are tenderly touched, unwinding and lengthening may occur allowing healthier interaction between the nervous system and the tissues. Often people who come to a Craniosacral Therapist for a series of sessions after finding no relief elsewhere end up feeling more vitality and release of deep pain patterns.

For a quick Youtube layout of the work, check out one of my earlier teacher’s explanation of the work:

Craniosacral Therapy has been helpful with relieving traumas from the body on many different levels. Once these traumatic experiences are processed in a healthy environment, the person usually feels freed up to live more fully from a clear more positive intentional place.

Sharon Hartnett CST-Diplomate specializes in helping people with anxiety & related issues, concussions, and chronic pain.
