About the Founder

Georgette Dutoit

Growing up walking barefoot over the cliffs, tidepools and rugged shorelines of the Pacific Ocean in Southern California’s endless summer climate, Georgette could enjoy the benefits of strong and free feet all year round. This challenging and tactile rich unshod experience was also a technique imbedded in traditional Apache lifestyles

Shortly after moving to Switzerland, a Sledding accident in 2010 caused Georgette to endured three years of multiple surgeries which ultimately left her foot and body permanently altered and threatened her mobility and quality of life.

Doctors, Surgeons and Physical Therapists from Olympic Facilities agreed she would face a lifetime of pain management and orthotic aids.

Through activating her awareness, abilities, and knowledge of the feet, she was able to achieve a medically unimaginable recovery – without any residual pain or orthotic support.

The PediPower Program is based on these experiences and evidences from updated findings in Science, Sports, Rehabilitation, and Medical Studies, as well as imbedded traditions of the Apache knowledge
