Reflexology

Reflexology 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

bodywork

Heather McFarlin works with clients in San Francisco and in San Rafael. Heather evaluates and treats the whole body using both Chi Nei Tsang and massage. Her love for yoga, Vipassana meditation, and Chi Gong have served to bring a light and presence to her sessions. Using applied Chi Gong and subtle awareness, she can tune into specific points of tension and assist in the unwinding of the core pattern causing the imbalance. Commonly, clients access a state between wakefulness and sleep, a state similar to trance or meditative awareness. Heather especially enjoys working with people interested in self-discovery and who are committed to healing, since ultimately, the healing comes from within each person.
