Feet For Life with Holistic Podiatrist Nena Jukes

WHO IS NENA? – Nena is an holistic podiatrist and seasoned Healthcare professional with over 40 years of experience. Graduating in Foot Medicine; Podiatry & Chiropody. Her early NHS career was focused on treating people with complications of diabetes as a hospital Diabetic Foot Specialist. This involved a lot of wound care, dermatology, education and fighting to save limbs. With a love of life long learning and curiosity Nena trained and incorporated Reflexology, Emotional freedom Technique EFT, Herbal Medicine, Nutrition, Foot Mobilisation, Red light and laser therapies into her Suffolk practice. Nena is about to embark on a very exciting new journey by opening an Energy Enhancement System Centre, the first in East Anglia. What is my passion and why do this? I always have and always will want to help people. It is who I am. To help someone get out of pain and walk out of my clinic with a spring in their step or a smile is for me a moment of joy – Every time! It feels good to make someone’s day and the trust people place in me is humbling. It is also fun and people are interesting. I have a 94 year old chap who after his treatment often exclaims “Oh good! Now I can run amok!” I try to have balance in my work and life but it all tends to merge! Growing organic food, flowers and plants with which to make lotions, potions and teas make me very happy. I need to put my hands in the soil or my bare feet on the ground every day. Grounding really is a thing – back to physics and discharging positive ions! I make stained glass windows, travel to learn about art history and I go paddle boarding as often as possible in the warm weather. I also have 3 dogs 3 chickens and 3 grown up children. My very kind husband and co director of our company who keeps everything running smoothly while I go on my Campervan adventures. NENA TALKS ABOUT How when one part of the body ‘goes wrong’ it affects other parts. We are all joined up. Treating the whole person, from the feet up or head down because the whole body walks. Always ask why? Diagnosis involves looking listening and hearing with the ears and the heart. The body talks and if we don’t listen we get sick. Sometimes a quick fix and symptoms can be suppressed and made to go away using all kinds of interventions but often for true healing to take place it takes time and the removal of the cause. Plants that grow around us are there for us to use. Natures pharmacy. Powerful free medicine! Garden weeds are awesome and full of goodness with amazing healing properties! Some good tips for feet. The EE System, healing for body mind and spirit. Nikola Tesla said ”If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration” Contact Nena – https://www.lifesole.co.uk [https://www.lifesole.co.uk/] Talks are hosted by Althea Finch at The PainFree Method, how to be pain free by tuning into you.
