Meet the woman born with NO ARMS who does her nails, dresses her toddler and paints using her FEET.<br /><br />Doctors couldn't say why Sarah Talbi, 38, was born without any upper limbs.<br /><br />But as a child, Sarah didn’t see herself different and learnt to eat, dress herself and brush her hair using her feet.<br /><br />As she got older, she developed more skills like chopping vegetables and doing her make-up - all with her toes.<br /><br />Sarah has a two-year-old daughter, Lilia, who she cooks for, dresses and plays with.<br /><br />Little Lilia sees her mum as no different and holds onto Sarah’s sleeve when they cross the road.<br /><br />Sarah, a stay-at-home mum, from Brussels, Belgium said: “I can do anything with my feet as long as I don’t have shoes on.<br /><br />“I put my make-up on, dress, cook, shower look after Lilia, I can do everything I want.”<br /><br />As a child, Sarah didn’t see herself as any different.<br /><br />Sarah said: “How a baby takes everything with their hands and makes a mess, I did the same with my feet so my brain was connecting to my feet.<br /><br />“I could do everything a toddler the same age could do, just with my feet.<br /><br />"As I got older I could eat, but I struggled to write.<br /><br />“Those things came later, I learnt it because it was the age of learning.<br /><br />“Some other children asked why I didn’t have arms but for me, it was totally normal.<br /><br />“I thought there were lots of other people without arms and I was just one of those people.”<br /><br />When Sarah was a teenager she studied English and Spanish translation at Institut supérieur de traducteurs et interprètes (ISTI), Brussels without extra support.<br /><br />Sarah said: “I was able to do it like anyone else.<br /><br />“When I did Erasmus I had to move but I moved in with friends and we had an apartment together.<br /><br />“I just had an experience like anyone would have done and I did that without struggling.”<br /><br />in September 2018, Sarah had a baby, Lilia, now two.<br /> <br />Sarah said: “It is a huge achievement becoming a mum.<br /><br />“It’s my best achievement.<br /><br />“I think it’s hard for any woman to become a mum because it’s such a big change, plus having a disability you are dealing with two things.<br /><br />“But my disability had to adapt to having a baby.<br /><br />“Now I have two years of experience and I can do everything with my daughter.<br /><br />“She holds me by my sleeve when we walk along the street.<br /><br />“It’s unbelievable, she’s holding it like a hand.<br /><br />“It’s funny because sometimes she’ll want to run off and touch something in the street and she asks and tugs my sleeve.<br /><br />“She doesn’t know I can’t hold her back yet which is sweet.”<br /><br />Sarah has even found that she can paint using her feet, and is looking forward to putting on more exhibitions to showcase her work. <br /><br />She also showcases her work on her Youtube channel. <br /><br />She said: “I do it with my feet like everything else.<br /><br />“My main inspiration is nature, I love painting landscapes.<br /><br />“I love nature and travelling and I really miss it."<br /><br />Sarah hasn’t met any other woman who has the same disability as her.<br /><br />Sarah added: “I have adapted entirely myself and I can do everything I want.<br /><br />“I don’t let it hold me back.”
