Your appointment with me isn't just about treatment.

There's a set of values used across NHS healthcare, known as the 6 C's of Care. Care, compassion, competence, communication, courage and commitment. This means:

👣 Giving you my full attention alongside my expertise.
👣 Remembering that sore feet aren't only a physical problem, they can knock your confidence too.
👣 Being honest with you even when the answer isn't the one you were hoping for.

As a private practitioner I am equally committed to the 6 Cs 💙

If you've ever felt properly listened to at an appointment, you'll know exactly what I mean. It changes everything.

➡️ For professional, friendly foot care get in touch and book with me today.

School's out, suitcases are coming down from the loft, and we're all thinking about the next trip abroad 👣

With all these exciting plans, why not also make sure your feet are ready for the extra walks and new open toe shoes?

We think about sun cream, passports, and packing lists. Feet often get forgotten until someone's hobbling round an airport in new sandals that haven't been broken in.

💭 Kids' feet are still growing and benefit from a quick check before the summer of trainers, flip-flops and paddling pools.

💭 Grown-up feet carry the extra miles of sightseeing and beach walks.

💭 Grandparents joining the trip? A quick once-over can catch anything that might slow the holiday down.

Sorting it now, before the school holidays properly kick off, means everyone starts their trip comfortable rather than nursing sore feet by day two.

➡️ Fancy getting the whole family sorted before you jet off? Get in touch and we'll find times that work for everyone.

This past weekend, I swapped the clinic for the hills and headed to Betws-y-Coed with my family 💙

There's something about the Northwest and North Wales that never gets old. Waterfalls, fresh air, and a proper walk that actually gets the legs moving (sorry feet, I promise I wore good shoes).

It's easy to forget to switch off sometimes. Even foot health practitioners need a good pair of trainers and a proper break every now and then 🙂

If you've got a favourite spot in North Wales or the Northwest, I'd love to hear it. I'm always after new places to explore.

➡️ I'm now back in the clinic, so visit my website or get in touch directly to book your appointment.

Packing for your holiday? What have you added to the suitcase for your feet? 👣

You don't even need to buy anything new. Have a quick look around your bathroom cabinet first. There's a good chance you already own what your feet need for two weeks of flip-flops, hot pavements and "just one more" pool session.

Here's what to check for before you buy anything new:

✅ Moisturiser: The one you already use on your face or body works. Dry, cracked heels get worse in heat, not better.

✅ Sun cream: Because your feet burn too, especially the tops and that strip along your sandal line.

✅ Nail clippers: Trim them before you fly, as long nails, plus swollen feet from the flight, plus tight sandals are a recipe for a sore holiday.

✅ Nail file: Smooth any rough edges so nothing catches on your bedsheets.

That's it. No special holiday products. Just the basics, packed with a bit of intention.

➡️ What's the one thing you always forget to pack? Tell me below.

Noticed your feet feeling tighter in your shoes this past month? You're not imagining it 👣

With the UK experiencing serious heatwaves this Summer, and temperatures forecast to break records, your body is doing exactly what it's supposed to do.

When it's hot, your body retains a bit more fluid, and your blood vessels widen to help cool you down. That often means your feet swell slightly, so those shoes that fit perfectly last week might suddenly feel snug today.

Completely normal, and completely common 💙

A few small things can help with this, such as:

👉 Wearing loose, breathable shoes
👉 Putting your feet up when you can
👉 Staying hydrated.

If your feet are properly bothering you, with swelling that doesn't ease, real discomfort, or anything that just doesn't feel right, please don't just put up with it. That's exactly what I'm here for.

Stay cool out there 🙂

Ever wondered why ingrown toenails happen? 🦶

It's one of the most common (and painful) things I see in the clinic. Usually it's down to cutting your nails the wrong way, or having nails that are just naturally curved.

There's actually a name for the little offending spike of nail. It's called a spicule. And when I remove one for a patient, they're always intrigued by how it looks. 😬

In this video, I'm breaking down what causes ingrown toenails, what you can try at home, and when it's actually time to call in the professionals.

Watch to the end... it may save you from suffering 💙

The sun is coming, and so are the sandals. Are your feet ready? 👣

One of my patients said something recently that made me chuffed. After treatment, they said, "They look a million per cent better!"

Summer has a way of making people finally do something about the feet they've been hiding away all winter. Sometimes a bit of warmth, sunshine and a heatwave is all the motivation we need 🙂

Alongside my medical treatments, I also offer pedicures and massages. So if your heel rims look like parmesan rind, or you simply want to feel confident slipping your sandals on this summer, I've got you covered 💙

Your feet carry you everywhere. They deserve a little love.

Summer is nearly here, and your feet deserve to be ready for it 👣

This time of year, I see a lot of patients who've been quietly putting things off. A ni**le here, a bit of discomfort there. Nothing dramatic, but enough to get in the way of doing the things they love.

I had two patients in recently who were ready for just that.

One wanted to get back to running, and within 30 minutes of their appointment, they were back on their feet and ready to go.

The other just wanted to walk to Waitrose without it being an ordeal. They did exactly that, the same day.

Two very different goals, and two very straightforward appointments 💙

Foot care doesn't always need to be complicated. Sometimes the right treatment at the right time makes an almost immediate difference.

If you're getting ready for a holiday, want to get active again, or want to walk to the shops without wincing, I'd love to help.

Book today and let's get your summer sorted 🙂

I recently visited the Enhanced Practitioner Conference at The University of Salford, and it was a really interesting day 👣

I spent time catching up with peers and getting a closer look at how the NHS operates, an impressive organisation.

Meeting suppliers and having meaningful and relevant conversations was a highlight.

Bailey Instruments and Canonbury Healthcare donated substantial supplies for my work with Barnabus.

💙 If you've seen my recent posts, you'll know I visit Barnabus regularly, and it's great that other businesses support vulnerable communities.

The foot health world is full of good people. I'm glad I got to meet some of them at this event 🙂

The sun comes out, and the shoes change overnight, but are you wearing the right ones? 👣

Sandals, pumps, flip flops. After months of boots and thick socks, it feels liberating. But this time of year, I start seeing a familiar pattern in the clinic.

Lighter shoes often mean less support, less structure, and a lot more opportunity for things to start rubbing or causing discomfort.

So before you reach for the summer footwear, here are a few things worth thinking about:

➡️ Your shoes should fit the shape of your foot, not the other way around
➡️ Leave enough room for your toes to move freely
➡️ The back of the shoe should feel firm and support your heel
➡️ Soft materials with no rough seams will always be kinder to your skin.

It sounds simple, but the right fit makes a real difference to how your feet feel over the warmer months. 💙

If your feet are already giving you trouble as the seasons change, I'm here. A quick appointment can sort more than you might think 🙂
