1992 she left nursing to follow her interest in alternative medicine, studying Reiki I+II, Aura Soma I+II, Homoeopathy, Schuessler Tissue Salts and Polarity Therapy. She also did a course in a gentle mode of Reflexology Therapy and learned Chris Stormer’s ‘The Language of the Feet’.

Soon she realized that her approach to ’reading the feet’ was totally different from what she had been taught. Instead of giving clients a obvious interpretation of the features on the feet, she provided pointers to a variety of possible issues until they ‘stumbled’ over an  interpretation; illuminating their specific situation and bringing about an ‘aha’ moment resulting in emotional, mental, spiritual and/or physical release. These issues would have been still hidden in the subconscious mind if not awoken by the ‘memory energy’.

During her 15 years of observing feet and reading a wide range of literature, including scientific research papers, she was constantly guided along the ‘footpath’ to practice, observe and discover endless new sides to, as well as teach this, remarkable new therapy.

Footology Therapy™ has been given exposure in numerous South African radio interviews, a television program (Free Spirit) and articles in newspapers and magazines, including Odyssey, Renaissance, Rooi Rose (click on ‘Tydskrif  Artikel) and Shape, in both English and Afrikaans. The response she received every time made her realize that there is tremendous public interest – and not only in South Africa, for she had requests from people wanting to study the method from as far as the UK, USA and Australia.
