Harmony Health & Wholeness
What Is Foot Zoning?
Foot Zoning is a holistic, restorative form of bodywork on the feet that focuses on the body as whole, rather than symptomatic parts. Our bodies are comprised of complex and interconnected healing systems that make up our complete blueprint of health and wholeness. This incredible blueprint is what we call the normal line of health, and it is the essential key to our ability to thrive! Restorative foot zoning is a powerful, yet simple and non-invasive technique that activates our normal line of health by stimluating the pressure points of the feet. There are literally hundreds of pressure points in our feet, and the feet serve as a switchboard or command center for all systems of the body. By triggering precise areas of the feet, foot zoning can activate a state of harmony down to the cellular level. This sends healing information in the form of electromagnetic impulses throughout the entire body, bringing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual balance. Modern day foot zone therapy gets its roots from reflexology, which has been around for thousands of years. History reveals that Egyptian, Native American, and Chinese practitioners all used a form of pressure applied to the feet as a method of healing. This modality is not new, but it is newly emerging and evolving, and delivering amazing results!
