Sarah is a Foot Health Practitioner (FHP) who is passionate about helping people feel comfortable, confident and happy on their feet.
Sarah covers the postcode areas of LS22, LS23, LS24, LS25, LS26 and WF10.
Her interest in foot care developed from seeing first-hand just how much our foot health can affect our mobility, independence and overall quality of life. She loves being able to make a genuine difference to how someone feels, whether that’s relieving discomfort, helping them maintain their independence or simply giving them the confidence to feel good about their feet again.
Sarah brings together a strong academic background in foot health with several years of hands-on clinical experience. She holds a Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE) in Podiatric Medicine/Applied Science, achieving a First-Class standard, as well as the Royal College of Podiatry (RCPod) Foot Care Certificate and a Foot Health Practitioner Theory Certificate from the Centre of Excellence.
Before becoming a Foot Health Practitioner, Sarah spent three years training and working as a Podiatry Apprentice within the NHS, where she gained extensive practical experience working alongside podiatry professionals and caring for patients with a wide range of foot health needs. She has also worked within a private foot health practice, giving her valuable experience in both NHS and independent foot care settings.
Sarah has completed a Diabetic Foot Health Screening course, accredited by the Universities of Edinburgh and Plymouth, providing her with additional training in diabetic foot screening, assessment and foot care.
She has a special interest in biomechanics and how the way we walk, and the function of our feet can influence comfort and mobility. Sarah is committed to continuing her professional development and has attended several Royal College of Podiatry conferences, allowing her to continue developing her knowledge across different areas of foot health.
Sarah is also a Dementia Friend and is committed to providing patient, understanding and compassionate care to people living with dementia. She holds a current Enhanced DBS check and prides herself on being friendly, approachable and professional.
She understands that inviting someone into your home to provide foot care requires trust and wants every client to feel comfortable, listened to and completely at ease.
Away from foot care, Sarah is a busy mum to her son and a proud pet mum to a dog and rabbit, who certainly keep her on her toes!
Sarah is delighted to be part of Healthy Feet and looks forward to helping her clients look after their feet, maintain their mobility and continue doing the things they enjoy.
