In 2010 I remeber reading a very interesting article where the famous actress from the tv serial Sex and The City shared some personal tips.
The article was titled SJP Shares Her Top Beauty Must Haves
In that article she recommended "Angel Feet" a Reflexology service in the heart of the West Village on beautiful, tree-lined Perry Street. Her exact words were (I loved the bold letter part)...
Her beauty indulgences:
"Every now and then, there is this place called Angel Feet [I go to] that's amazing. It's a reflexology place. I don't know about any of that — that doesn't really matter me. The fact is that someone will rub your feet for an hour. I don't care what they find out about my insides, or different organs. That goes in one ear and out the other. The fact of the matter is that they will rub your feet for an hour. You just have to find the hour. It's not inexpensive, and it's not highway robbery. It's right in the middle there. It's worth every penny, I will say!"

Expensive designer shoes like Manolo Blahniks, Christian Louboutins and Jimmy Choos can have quite an effect on your feet!
Fate would have that last week while in NY, for a Orthopedic Reflexology course hosted by the New York State Reflexology Association, I was to visit a board member at her office which was the "former" Angel feet!
For me this was great because I was very interested in seeing and feeling the reflexology service SJP or Carrie Bradshaw so willingly recommends on any given occasion.
Once at the office, and a bit early I entered a truly zen area, the secretary knew who I was and politely offered me to have a seat. To be honest I preferred to wait outside since it was such a nice day and Perry street is beautifull.
After a few minutes owners and fellow colleagues Denice Kondik (NYSRA board member) and Jessie Meegan greeted me
with much warmth. A wonderfull discussion followed with cappucino and proseco
and a lot of Reflexology talk on all levels.
I took note of the difficulties that exist in order to practise reflexology on a
professional level but also the many benefits mentioned. There exist in NY as
in many places around the world legal issues regarding the practise of reflexology.
Also of interest is that in all of NY only one reflexology school exists!
My two colleagues are very experienced and have been practising
many years. During our meeting I felt their confidence, strength and true humble
nature. I regret that I did not have the time to take up to their invitation to
exchange treatments and ideas. Definetely next time!
The original owner passed away a while back and our two colleagues have
taken over the buisness. The name of the establishment now is Perry Street Reflexology.
Of course I enquired about SJP, and Jessie has treated her hundreds of times, together they have a long client list of other well known celebrities also. Their professionalism did not allow them to get into details, something that I apreciated and respected.
But they showed me where Carrie's first apartment was in the series, the building with the famous stairs is 66 Perry Street, N.Y.C (West Village,
Manhattan), and thus we had a beautifull picture. Right across from their reflexology office! Interestingly enough many people were there taking pictures also.
Next time you visit New York visit Perry Street (Reflexology) if it's good for Sarah...
