He also gained a wealth of experience in treating Elite level athletes from a wide range of sports including Rugby, Football, Tennis and Cricket. Of particular interest are the lower limb problems of bowlers and he has personally made orthotics for some of the world’s best. Chris also spent several years as the consultant podiatrist to the Springbok Sevens rugby team.

Chris recently relocated to the UK and spends his time between his NHS position and his private practice.

Working life for me started out as a professional dancer which led me to cruise ships which was where Chris and I met.

Nearly 30 years together and 4 children later we are back in the UK from South Africa working together looking after your feet!

I have worn many hats from stunt person to small business owner but for many years I managed Chris’ very busy practice in Cape Town. Since relocating back to the uk I decided I wanted in on the foot action and trained with SMAE to become a Foot Care Professional. 

I have picked up a wealth of knowledge from my husband over the years and I love it now that I can treat my own patients! It makes me happy to help people walk a little lighter and to put a spring back in their step.
