Beautiful Feet Ministry
Since 2012, Beautiful Feet Ministry has been walking with female victims of sexual exploitation, which includes stripping, pornography, prostitution, or sex trafficking. After their rescue, recovery begins. Working to break the cycle of sexual exploitation one woman at a time, Beautiful Feet connects women with Christ and helps them find the courage and confidence to begin a new life.

Comprehensive care in our program addresses spirituality, fun and interests, emotions, family and relationships, physical health and nutrition, healthy, balanced rest, safe friends, life skills, work, education, and lifelong recovery.
Phase 1 - Sets the foundation for the healing journey at Beautiful Feet. As it comes up, trauma is addressed in a safe and healthy environment. Daily living skills are taught and practiced daily, checklists are given, and a community is being built. Phase 1 deals with pain as it presents itself, intentionally moving towards the pain so that healing can occur. We apply new coping skills in place of avoidance or running.
Phase 2 - A woman will face her trauma and map a new future. After establishing safe coping skills and understanding their identity in Christ, the resident will delve into the deeper emotional and traumatic situations from their past. This phase is marked by exploration, insight, grieving, deep levels of hurt, unforgiveness, forgiveness, and safe family reconciliation. The women begin to see how their trauma and past were damaging and alienating them.
Phase 3 - A resident is emotionally reconnecting with healthy living with joy, exercising healthy coping skills, and being productive and active in their community. Past trauma is not forgotten, but now, having created a healthy, fulfilling life in the present, they can practice healthy relationships, education, jobs, activities, and meaningful life goals. Essentially, they complete the task of identifying their new, healthier identity to replace the old identities of “victim” to victor. In this phase, the resident is moving towards independence and looking forward to graduating from the program.
