Foot reader steps up to run Laois workshop in Portlaoise

Foot reader steps up to run Laois workshop in Portlaoise

Jane Sheehan, TV’s celebrity Foot Reader, is to share the secrets of the hidden meanings in feet and toes when she reveals the techniques used to ‘read’ personality traits and emotions in the feet in a series of special workshops in Portlaoise in March.

Jane is a regular on ITV’s This Morning, and has also featured on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing spin-off show It Takes Two. She has also appeared on the Afternoon Show on RTÉ. Her book, Let’s Read Our Feet, is a number 1 best seller on Amazon.

Jane says has been teaching her skills to reflexologists and other therapists for over 15 years. Foot reading is an additional skill adopted by holistic therapists to help them work with clients at a new level of understanding.

As well as therapists, Jane sees many individuals attending her classes in order to develop a deeper self-awareness and make changes and improvements in their own well-being.

She claims foot reading reveals personality strengths and weaknesses, and highlights hidden potential and undervalued talents. By learning what their feet say about them, therapists and individuals can use that information as a tool for personal development and growth. 

Jane believes anyone attending one of  workshops can expect to holistically enhance their knowledge, by learning an unusual skill that will allow them to consider their own personal development and growth from a completely unexpected source whilst having lots of fun and insights about themselves in the process.

Apart from TV, she is also the author of several books: the Amazon best-seller ‘Let’s Read Our Feet!’ is now on its second edition and is also available as a portable guide; ‘The Foot Reading Coach’ explains how foot reading can be used as a tool for self improvement for everyone and her most recent book, ‘Sole Trader – The Holistic Therapy Business Handbook’, is based on her own experiences in setting up her successful international business.

Jane comments: “We are all used to changing our facial expressions and hiding our true feelings, but we can’t do that with our feet – they tell the truth. Simply by analysing the shapes of feet and toes, we can tell an awful lot about a person. Anyone coming to my workshops will not only learn something of use to their clients, but also learn about themselves via their feet.

"They love hearing the anecdotes I use to illustrate the points and they love applying the knowledge to their own life story and often during the classes there are moments where you can see the students moved to delight when they realise that the blemish I’m interpreting also relates to a long term client of theirs and gives them an insight that will help progress their treatment,” she says.

The Portlaoise workshops are on March 22 & 23. Tickets are available from www.footreading.com

Jane began foot reading in 1999 and started teaching the techniques in 2003. In 2010 she was awarded Honorary membership of the Association of Reflexologists for her outstanding services to reflexology.
