Profile
With over 20 years of experience in podiatry, I specialise in diagnosing and treating foot and ankle conditions, focusing on restoring biomechanical alignment and supporting rehabilitation.
​
I'm passionate about creating custom orthotics and insoles that are tailored to your individual needs, helping to relieve pain and improve mobility.
I also believe that listening is at the heart of great care. That’s why I take the time to truly understand your concerns and what you’re experiencing, so I can offer the most effective solutions.
​
By keeping my patient load low, I can dedicate the time and attention each person deserves, ensuring personalised, compassionate care that helps you get back on your feet.
