I qualified as a Podiatrist in 2012 at the University of Southampton and began my career within the NHS in Newbury, where I gained extensive experience treating patients with a wide range of foot and lower-limb conditions. After more than five years in the NHS, I moved into the private sector to achieve a better work–life balance and to dedicate more time to individual patient care.
I am genuinely passionate about providing a high-quality, supportive service, and I feel very fortunate to enjoy the work I do every day.
Outside of the clinic, I am a keen sports enthusiast. I play netball regularly and also enjoy kayaking, climbing, and surfing—activities that keep me active and constantly remind me how important healthy feet are to staying on the move.
I have been part of Expert Footcare since 2010 after I graduated from the University of Southampton with a Honours Degree in Podiatry.
My previous career was in Nursing and I graduated as a Registered General Nurse from St. Vincent’s University Hospital and University College Dublin in 2001.
When I qualified as a podiatrist I continued to maintain my Nursing registration but after a number of years I decided that Podiatry was going to keep me very busy and with the ever growing patient numbers at Expert Footcare I was able to give more time to our clinics.
Originally from County Clare in the West of Ireland I moved to England in 2006 to pursue a career in Podiatry. Married with two children, I chose to work in the private sector to fit in with the busy schedule that family life brings particularly when my children were much younger.
I have a keen interest in the health and well being of all my clients and strongly promote the importance of good foot health.
Your feet take you thousands of miles in a lifetime and it is my aim as a podiatrist to keep patients mobile, active and pain free for many more miles!
Anita joined our team in 2023 after making a career change to become a Foot Health Practitioner. Trained with the renowned SMAE Institute, she quickly discovered her passion for helping people improve their foot health and overall wellbeing.
Anita loves getting to know her patients and values the strong relationships she builds with both patients and colleagues. As she puts it:
“Patients often ask me, ‘What on earth made you want to work with feet?!’ I always tell them it’s about so much more than just feet — it’s about trust. My patients trust me not only with their foot health, but also enough to share their stories, their families, and their lives. That’s what makes my job so rewarding.”
