Why I Became a Chiropodist
I understand first-hand the importance of mobility and being able to lead an active, pain-free life in order to get the most out of your life. I aim to help you improve your foot health by providing thorough foot assessments, comprehensive treatment plans and evidence-based foot care.
"I always knew I wanted to be a foot specialist from when I was a little kid. I had so many warts on my feet when I was little. I always liked going to the foot doctor because it felt so much better to walk after I left!"
Active runner and fitness enthusiast
I have completed 5 full and over 30 half marathons, plus many other events of varying types and lengths. This year will be was a busy year, focusing on my lifetime goal of completing all 6 of the Abbott World Marathon Majors. The last major stop was Germany, completing the Berlin Marathon in September 2022.
In 2018 I completed the Chicago Marathon as part of team RMHC, and raised over $2000 for Ronald McDonald House Children’s Charity.
Previously in 2017, I completed the Toronto Waterfront Marathon and the New York Marathon. I was very proud to be part of a small group of participants selected to represent Canada in the New York Marathon Opening Ceremonies.
Special Interest in Treating Athletes of All Ages & Abilities
My special interest is lower limb biomechanics, sprain, strain and sports injuries, and custom orthotics to alleviate foot problems.
I treat runners and athletes of all ages and abilities, and I am truly blessed to be able to integrate my passion with my career.
I was not an athlete my entire life, I learned the joy of running after my second child was born.
"I was never a natural athlete. In grade school, I almost always came in last, or close to it in any type of athletic endeavour. This was very discouraging. But one day, after my oldest child was born I decided I was going to teach myself to run. I started with a couch to 10k on the treadmill. At first, it wasn't bad, but then it got hard… really hard. One particular workout I quit 4 times before completing it. On the 5th time, I decided I was not willing to quit anymore and finally got it done. It was then that I realized what was really keeping me back, my inability to believe that I could. The lesson I learned that day has taken me further than I ever could have imagined. Knowing that it is not about ability or talent, but perseverance, determination, and the will just not to give up."
Whether you are starting a new fitness regimen, seasoned athlete, or just living your daily life, I aim to help you move as painlessly as possible so you can be more active and enjoy all the wonderful activities in your life. I look forward to meeting you.
