Our feet carry us through life, yet they’re often overlooked when it comes to self-care. Podiatrist Samia Saoudi knows this well — she cares for feet with dedication, and right now, they could certainly use an extra dose of love and attention. So we decided to pay Samia another visit at her studio in Charlottenburg. Our session began with a foot analysis, and Samia’s infectious good mood put us instantly at ease. Then for the next steps: a warming foot bath, a refreshing scrub and a soothing massage. It’s the perfect spa program for feet tired from city life. Our tip for when Berlin fades to shades of gray? Add a pop of color to your nails! Bright reds, delicate lilacs, trendy caramel tones or timeless classics like dark red and violet can bring that extra brightness. And since our feet spend much of the year hidden away in socks and shoes, we don’t forget our hands — they, too, get some extra attention. By the end of our visit, our nail polish matches the decor of Samia’s studio perfectly. Feeling pampered and relaxed, we step out through the dark red double doors, back onto Berlin’s streets and back to the office. One thing’s for sure, we’ll be back soon!
