Marie Bernat believes your past and future are written on your toes. At the end of the multi-therapy Perscentology treatment, she takes a close look: Those on your left foot supposedly tell your spiritual destiny, and the ones on the right reveal what you are doing with your life. Bernat, spa director and therapist at CopperWynd Resort & Club in Fountain Hills, Arizona, says, “Toe reading works on your personal perception, not necessarily how others may see your life. It’s a tool to take stock of your personal issues, and using the awareness to change”

The 75-minute session starts with a relaxing spray of locally blended mint and lavender on the massage table. Exfoliating with a dry brush prepares you for an herbal body splash of geranium, ginseng, and gingko biloba for cleansing. The music from the otherworldly CD is said to balance the heart chakra, and muscles follow suit with an application of warm aromatherapy oil and hot stone massage. During the last half-hour, she does some reflexology to check out organs and discuss overall physical issues, and then comes the toe reading.

Bernat says the shape of your toes and the lines on top all indicate something about your life, attitude, and intuition. The big toe denotes your purpose and direction, the next one reflects how you communicate, and the next tells about your anger and passion. Next to the last is all about your relationships and addictions, and the pinkie is your security toe. For example, if your littlest toe turns down like a cat’s claw digging into the rug, you probably have security issues, physical, emotional, or financial. Does your big toe stand apart or lean into its neighbor? You might want to examine your feelings about independence and interdependence. Maybe you’ll change your destiny. “You can use self-massage and spacers between your toes to influence your future” says Bernat.
