I was told that I would have flat feet all my life...I was informed in my teens that I would need orthotics in my shoes for support...

Not knowing better 35 years ago, my parents and I decided on orthotics. This altered the course of my life and athletic career in more ways than I could have imagined. If we only knew then what we know today...how some consistent daily barefoot walks on uneven terrain can alter the strength not only in our feet, but throughout our entire systems. Simply showing up with mindfulness and allowing our bodies to do what they can and are built to do can be life changing.

On the left, the picture is my foot prints today after 10 years, yes 10 years, of slow steady progress. Starting at the age of 39, I began to rebuild my feet by taking one barefoot or minimally shod step at a time. It's definitely a journey, but one well worth it.

I love Spring and Summer as it is during this time that we can really get outside and practice. So, understand that it will take time and give yourself permission to ease into a barefoot practice. Your feet and your body will thank you for it.
