• Certified Foot Zoner

  • Jul 2012 - Present

  Foot Zoning goes back to ancient China and is a technique that has been utilized over 5,000 years ago. As a Foot Zoner I access acupressure points and meridians found on the bottoms of our feet to stimulate, balance and increase blood circulation to all the systems in the body; which include: your integumentary system, cardiovascular system, digestive s., immune s., endocrine s., lymphatic s., muscular s., nervous s., reproductive s., respiratory s., urinary s., and skeletal s. Ultimately I reboot your body to help bring it back to homeostasis and proper balance allowing your body to heal and repair itself in a naturopathic way; bringing you back to your A game.
