My Journey Into Solestry

How Spirit, Reflexology and Psychic Guidance Led Me to Foot Reading

I’d like to share a story first published in Chat It’s Fate magazine, a glimpse into my lifelong connection with Spirit and how those experiences guided me toward the unique healing art of Solestry.

After training as a reflexologist, I was shown how to weave my psychic abilities, channelling and intuitive guidance into my work with the feet. This powerful combination became the foundation of my path into Solestry.

What Is Solestry?

Solestry, also known as foot reading, is a form of intuitive assessment that reveals emotional patterns, personality traits and life challenges through the feet.
Although it shares some similarities with palmistry, Solestry focuses on:

  • the zones and pressure points of the feet
  • the condition of the skin
  • the shape and alignment of the toes
  • nail growth and appearance
  • calluses, bunions and other physical markers

By observing these features and tuning into psychic awareness we can gain deep insight into a person’s emotional wellbeing, life story and spiritual path. Solestry is a powerful tool for healing, clarity and self‑understanding.

My Story

My journey with Spirit began when I was 16. One evening, the atmosphere in my bedroom shifted from light to electric, and I felt a presence move behind me, unmistakably not of this world.

During a spirit‑board session with a friend, a guide stepped forward and introduced himself as White Feather, a Native American shaman. That moment opened the door to a lifelong relationship with Spirit.

With White Feather’s guidance, I began channelling messages from angels, goddesses, ascended masters, fairies, spirit animals and other beings. I helped lost souls pass over, supported by a growing awareness of the unseen world.

Years later, during my reflexology training, I discovered the profound emotional and energetic stories held within the feet. When I combined this with my psychic gifts, Solestry was born.

I began offering foot‑reading sessions and parties, where I could see everything from work stress and relationship patterns to past‑life wounds, health imbalances and emotional blocks — all through the feet.

The accuracy was astonishing, and the insights often life‑changing.

What the Feet Reveal

In Solestry, the feet act as a map of your inner world:

  • Right foot – the logical mind, the past, masculine energy
  • Left foot – emotions, the present moment, feminine energy

Each toe represents a different aspect of life:

  • Big toe – thinking
  • Second toe – emotions
  • Third toe – work
  • Fourth toe – relationships
  • Little toe – security

Skin conditions, bunions, verrucas, nail shape and even nail colour all carry symbolic meaning.
The feet reveal stress, joy, trauma, personality traits, life lessons and spiritual messages, often more clearly than words ever could.

Sharing Solestry With the World

Today, I teach Solestry to students around the globe and continue to offer readings for those seeking clarity, healing and deeper self‑understanding.
Like tarot or astrology, Solestry is a tool for insight, but one that works through the body, intuition and Spirit combined.

Our soles truly do reveal our souls.
