My name is Sue Kent I am the founder of Enjoyfeet Limited, a company that promotes the beauty and use of feet.
I started to use my feet in massage 6 years ago and have been developing my skills and techniques over this period. I researched the market place looking for existing techniques but found none that used just feet and toes to give body massage
As a result of the Thalidomide drug, I have an upper limb disability with arms eight inches long and only seven fingers and cannot use my hands to massage.

During my research I realised that many people love feet, and keeping them health and beautiful is important. I set up the company Enjoyfeet Limited and with my team I put together a DVD, focusing on feet, not people, It covers how to exercise, give a pedicure and how to give body massage using feet. It sells throughout the world to people who love feet and / or love massage.
In order to set up the professional practice, I had to pass the professional exam designed for hand massage techniques using just my feet. I trained with the Academy of Health and Beauty and worked closely with Mari Evans from the Natural Beauty Clinic, one of Wales top massage therapists, to adapt many of the traditional massage strokes, as the foot has no equivalent thumb and forefinger movement. Face massage by feet was the most challenging part of my training but I passed with flying colours.
Supported by a grant the National Welsh Assembly I start the SPS Sports Massage Diploma course at UWIC in September 2009 with a long term goal of supporting the British Para-Olympic team, pie in the sky maybe, but we all need goals to aim for.
If you want to give try barefoot massage and have any questions please feel free to contact me through my web site.
