sessions are available in a beautiful, quiet, private office in
the Lower Pacific Heights district in San Francisco and in a central
and convenient office in San Rafael.
Reflexology is a
science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas
in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs
and parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can
assist the body in releasing deep seated tensions, aid in detoxification,
improve organ functioning, and balance mental and emotional states.
Similar to acupuncture
or Chi Nei Tsang, the organs are addressed and effectively treated
with Reflexology. By improving lymphatic drainage and venous circulation,
stimulation to the nerve pathways, and muscle relaxation, the
body finds better health and balance..Improvements in Gastro-intestinal
functioning, relief from anxiety, depression, insomnia and muscle
tension are known benefits of Reflexology
Reflexology as Preventative
Medicine
In China, where Reflexology
is accepted by the central government as a means of preventing
and curing diseases and preserving health, over 300 research studies
have shown Reflexology provided some improvement to 95% of the
over 18,000 cases covering 64 illnesses studied.
In Japan and Denmark,
Reflexology has been incorporated into the employee health programs
of several large corporations saving each company thousands of
dollars annually in paid sick leave benefits.
Many of our health problems
can be linked to stress. It is an acknowledged fact by the medical
community that a body trying to function while under the influence
of prolonged stress is less capable of organizing its defenses
against illnesses and repair damage caused by injury. Stress can
be mentally, emotionally, physically, or environmentally induced.
Reflexology is primarily a relaxation technique. Reflexology can
negate the effects of stress while it helps the body relax & balance.
Through the relaxation process the body is more capable of dealing
with the stresses placed on it by daily living and those associated
with illness. Reflexology gently nudges the body toward better
functioning by
