What is Barefoot Walking?
-
Grounding / Earthing
Simply put, barefoot walking is taking off your shoes and socks, to make skin contact with the earth.
Our body is electrical - our brain, heartbeat, our muscles are all electrically charged. So when we stand on the earth free electrons are taken into the body, helping to neutralise free radicals and thereby reducing inflammation in the body.

Improve foot strength
With 26 bones, 33 joints and over 200k nerve endings, your feet are more capable of supporting you than any shoe ever could be.
Removing shoes, allows full range of movement - increasing foot strength by more than double*
*based on research - going barefoot/wearing ‘barefoot shoes’ for 70% of the time.
-
Experiential Freedom
Our feet are two of the most sensory organs in the body, second only to the eyes.
Each tiny muscle (of which there are hundreds) in each foot connects to each corresponding muscle in the body.
Allowing full freedom of the feet will encourage a more free feeling body.
Guided barefoot walks with Jess
Take a group barefoot walk with Jess.
Ask questions, enjoy the fresh air, meet likeminded souls.
Informal walks, at various locations, run throughout the year - please check in with her latest booking availability below.
Jess took her passion for barefoot walking to the next level in Summer 2021, joining the team at PAUS Cambridge on their beautiful 1km meadowland & sensory trails.
With her weekly walks, Jess guided groups on the hillside meadow paths sharing her enthusiasm for the simple art of barefoot walking to help improve mobility, stability and flexibility in guests - whose ages ranged from 6months to 76 years!
She invites anyone locally to take a trip over to PAUS, where they are providing the perfect landscape in which to roam around freely, and explore the benefits for themselves.
