School of Foot Zone Therapy & Holistic Healing Arts
School of Foot Zone Therapy & Holistic Healing Arts
Foot Zone Therapy offers a hands-on approach to wellness that brings together body awareness, intentional touch, observation, and holistic principles. Based on traditional mapped reflex points and zones within the feet, Foot Zoning is used to support relaxation, balance, stress reduction, and communication throughout the body systems.
For some, learning Foot Zoning begins with a personal healing journey.
For others, it grows out of a desire to help their children and loved ones,
or to create a more meaningful career centered around helping people.
At The Healer’s Art Institute, we believe these skills belong not only in professional wellness spaces, but also within homes and communities. Our training is designed to make holistic education approachable and applicable to real life — whether students hope to support their families, grow personally, or build a professional practice in the healing arts.
What makes this path unique is the combination of structured education, hands-on practicum experience, mentorship, intuitive development, and a deeper understanding of the body systems and the signals the body communicates every day. Students leave with practical skills, greater confidence, and the ability to offer meaningful support to others through compassionate, intentional care.
The Healer’s Art Institute exists to train and mentor skilled, intuitive practitioners in holistic and energy-based healing arts — equipping them to hold lasting wellness within their homes, families, and communities.
We believe healing begins with awareness, education, connection, and honoring the body’s innate intelligence. Through Foot Zone Therapy, body system education, energetic awareness, and holistic wellness practices, students gain practical tools to support overall wellness in meaningful and lasting ways.
We are committed to preserving the art of intuitive, compassionate healing while helping students build confidence, purpose, and real-world skills that can be applied in everyday life, professional practice, and community care.
"FOOT ZONING IS THE MOTHER OF ALL MODALITIES, IF IT NEEDS TO BE DONE, IT CAN BE DONE AT THE FEET."

As a young mother searching for answers for her family, Gloria English began a journey into holistic wellness, body awareness, energy medicine, and natural healing practices after experiencing difficult births, chronic stress, and a deep desire to better understand the body’s ability to heal and restore.
What began as a personal search for wellness grew into years of study in Foot Zone Therapy, Reflexology, energy healing, mindset work, anatomy, and holistic education. Through that journey, Gloria developed a grounded and practical approach that combines hands-on wellness tools, intuitive awareness, and compassionate mentorship while remaining deeply rooted in her Christian values and faith.
Today, Gloria is the founder of The Healer’s Art Institute, where she trains and mentors students in Foot Zone Therapy and holistic healing arts with the mission of restoring healing knowledge back into homes, communities, and future wellness practitioners.
Gloria is a mother of 10, business owner, and practices zone therapy and energy healing in Pulaski Virginia at SOL FOOT ZONE.
