As I reflect on the past year, I am filled with gratitude for the journey of growth and discovery it has been. It was a year dedicated to learning, attending training sessions, and deepening my knowledge in ways that have transformed both my understanding and my practice.
Along the way, I had the privilege of meeting some truly inspiring teachers whose wisdom and guidance have left a lasting impact.

A heartfelt thank you to my incredible clients who trusted me to be part of their journey. Your curiosity to discover, your enthusiasm to stay healthy, strong, and creative, and your commitment to growth continue to inspire me every day.

I can’t wait to bring all this newfound insight and energy to the year ahead and share it with you all. Here’s to a year of continued growth, connection, and transformation! Stay tuned—exciting things are on the way!

Happy and Healthy 2025🎉❤️🎉

The body has an amazing ability to change. When we create better conditions, it chooses the better option. I am so proud of my client.

Important post from fellow TFC Foot Nerd 🇦🇺👣

Kids shoe shopping extremes…. 😳

The one on the left is like putting noise cancelling headphones on a child and hoping they still learn to talk…

The one on the right allows the child’s foot and body to move, feel, develop naturally and grow strong.

Mind blown that these little (I guess I should say big) Nikes even exist for kids and that these shoes are actually the same size.

Thank you to for the pic of their shopping experience🙏

It's good to see the forces acting on us if we choose to wear certain shoes 👠👣

Consider this your reason for zero drop shoes! 👣
Thanks to the late Dr. Rossi for this image that shows the moments placed on the joints when standing on a wedge!

Here's an image from Dr. William Rossi's article Why Shoes Make "Normal" Gait Impossible, depicting how footwear with an elevated heel can negatively influence posture and movement. This important piece of writing was the initial inspiration for Dr. Ray McClanahan's trailblazing career in natural foot health.

Elevated heels not only shift body weight forward onto the ball of the foot, but also require compensations from the ankles, knees, hips, and low back to assume an upright posture.

The resilient human body can adapt to this uneven terrain in the short term, but if elevated heels are worn over a longer period of time dysfunctions will begin to develop.

Structural Integration focuses not on the muscles but on their protective layer called fascia (also known as connective tissue). Muscles are contracting tissues that give the body and organs physical movement. The fascia surrounds the muscles, bones and organs in the body. The fascia gives muscles their shape and the body its structure.

15/10/2022

Structural Integration aligns and balances the body by lengthening and repositioning the fascia. As fascia is lengthened it allows the muscles to move more efficiently. The practitioner will apply pressure to the body, working the entire fascial system in a systematic way. When restricted fascia is released and lengthened the body can return to its structurally optimal position.

The 26th and 27th of November in Lisbon, you will have the unique opportunity to learn about Structural Integration with Fulvio Faudella, SI instructor and EGSI Board and Faculty member.

Immunity support in tomorrow mornings class.

Movement is medicine when it comes to the immune system.

Lymph relies on us moving to get moved around the body.

Tomorrow we will be swinging, bouncing, tapping, shaking, flowing and massaging.

I look forward to seeing you bright and early.

And as the feet adapt to the minimalist, barefoot shoes, everything else in the body changes too...the knees, the hips, the pelvis, the spine... But just try ...go slowly and take your time ... don't rush it, it might be uncomfortable for a while...

Comfort and convenience: the silent killers. Love this post by the team

From luxury cars and google maps to same-day delivery and cushioned shoes, we’ve become highly advanced at getting as much comfort and satisfaction as possible out of doing as little as we can
But some of our modern comforts may come at a cost. In the words of on ’s podcast, “We are no longer comfortable with being uncomfortable, and as a result, we’re atrophying our ancient mechanisms of adaption”
Adversity and challenges are actually good for us, our bodies are finely tuned to be receptive to uncomfotable feedback which makes us improve. Ross goes onto mention Vivobarefoot shoes and how they’re in some ways a small step towards returning to a less comfortable yet highly adaptable, natural state
Without all of the cushioning and support of conventional shoes, all of the muscles in our feet are forced to function how they have evolved, constantly working to adapt and get stronger
So how do you get started getting back to becoming an undomesticated, wild human?
Spend some time barefoot today

Just a little reminder 💕
