Feet Are Your Foundation addresses critical foot issues which can lead to death, loss of limb, or immobility if unrecognized and untreated
ATLANTA - March 5, 2024 - Erika Allison, owner of NuFeet Medical Pedicure(s) , today announced that she is establishing a not-for-profit 501c3 corporation called Feet Are Your Foundation. The organization, which is associated with a network of physicians, will raise funds to send nail professionals to its school for the proper education, skills, and guidance required to become a successful medical pedicurist.
Allison developed the Medical Pedicure, a procedure that helps address medical issues of the feet brought on by diabetes and other conditions.“There is a huge need and market for medical foot hygiene pedicures,” said Allison, who will serve as the CEO Feet are Your Foundation.“Our goal is to raise funds to train approximately 1,000 nail technicians by 2026. This would average out to 20 trained medical pedicure professionals in every U.S. state.” Another goal for the organization is to provide financial assistance to diabetics and others on Medicaid and Medicare with medical foot issues, who cannot afford medical pedicures.
“Millions of people suffer from toenail fungus and severe calluses,” Allision added.“Chronic diabetics and those with problematic feet are in danger of infection and circulation problems when they visit salons that re-use implements and share foot baths. Skin and bacteria from one person are shared from everyone who used equipment and accessories. These patients must, at all costs, not visit traditional nail salons.”
Allison continued,“I have performed medical pedicures for eleven years. It is time for me to mentor others. There is a great need across the U.S. to provide medical pedicures, so I am creating a school to train nail professionals who can take these skills to their home states, as well as around the globe. Teaching others is much more efficient than opening franchises, so I founded a not-for-profit to help patients and their nail technicians.”
Allison offers online courses that include resources and mentorship to all students. There are safer options for pedicures. I want to share these skills and greater medical awareness to the nail world. At-risk people should stay out of traditional nail salons. It could be fatal if people choose the wrong nail salon.
