This week’s Story From The Sole comes from Mishelle Boniface, a reflexologist and mother from the UK. Mishelle found The Foot Collective after reaching a pivotal point in her life that forced her to seriously consider her health.
As someone who already worked with feet for a living she immediately resonated with our mission but her journey over the past year has been truely transformational. Mishelle has become a true foot nerd, embracing every aspect of TFC’s philosophies and passing what she’s been learning onto her two young boys.
She ditched her unnatural footwear, embraced ground living in her home and even traded her bed for a mattress on the floor to bring her closer to the earth and reconnect her with a more natural lifestyle. While these may seem like extreme moves for some, Mishelle believe these changes have helped her rediscover a love for her body.
As someone who has suffered chronic back pain for more than two decades, she believes these simple lifestyle and mindset tweaks along with a playful approach to movement have helped her finally start to see improvements. In this chat we discuss all of the above plus how she’s empowering her own kids to make choices about their health and the benefits its had for their family as a whole.
