What if you could age backward?
A lot of people say “I can’t move like I did in my 20’s”, but what if how you moved in your 20’s wasn’t optimal or conducive to your performance?
I've helped many clients improve function and performance longevity, while decreasing their pain and getting past nagging injuries they never thought was possible.
The secret is in movement integrity and training your three adaptable systems: your nervous system, muscular system, and fascial system.

What clients say about us
Frequently Asked Question
How much are your training programs?
The cost depends on a variety of factors such as your personal goals, budget, and commitment length.
Can you help me fix my bunions?
Addressing bunions is a big issue that we tackle in long term coaching. It is important to note that the severity, length of time you've had them, and willingness to commit to natural footwear and consistent training play the biggest role in addressing and reversing bunions. It is a long term commitment, requires lifestyle changes and not all bunions are reversible.
Do you offer in person training?
At this time, all programs are offered online. Virtual sessions are available as an add on to long term online training.
Do you only train feet?
Of course not! Foot function is just the start. At Barefoot Performance, it's all about the kinetic chain and getting your three adaptable systems (muscular, fascial, and nervous systems) functioning cohesively. You can check out my reviews for first hand experience working with me.
Do I have to train barefoot?
Training barefoot is the best and quickest way to your goals. If you are unable to train barefoot due to gym rules, I recommend purchasing Vibram Five Fingers for functional training or another brand on my Shoe Recommendation List. You get more information on this topic in the program.
Should I be running in natural footwear?
It depends on your history, running experience, and foot function. This is addressed in your personal program. I do not recommend running in natural footwear if you have never done so before as it takes time to acclimate, but specifics need to be discussed with your coach after an assessment.
What if I don't have foot issues but still want to work with you?
You don't need to have foot issues to work with Coach Heidi! Regardless of previous injuries or issues, all assessments are done barefoot and from the ground up. Training barefoot and addressing your footwear in and out of the gym is important for everyone.
