Whilst working as a journalist and television producer, Imre Somogyi became interested in natural healing. He studied, amongst other therapies, homeopathy, herbalism and polarity massage. During this time he developed a theory that toes are mirrors and that the shape and position of your toes show who you are. After his initial discovery he was astonished to learn that there had never been anything published on the subject. He began his own research and, twenty years later, set himself a test. He would examine 40 pairs of feet and, if his analysis was less than 90 percent accurate, he would turn a deaf ear to all those who
demanded that he write a book. Needless to say that he passed his own test with flying colors and is very insistent that he did not cheat.

The author of the book READING TOES  works nowadays as a media trainer and journalist. READING TOES is one of his hobbies.  He regularly lectures in The Netherlands and abroad. Under the supervision of the Fudare Foundation, Imre Somogyi gives seminars in READING TOES and  teaches teachers about READING TOES
