Who I am
With many years of experience as a support worker, I have dedicated my career to helping adults with learning disabilities. This role has been incredibly rewarding and has allowed me to make a positive impact on many lives. Currently, I work as a massage therapist/foot health practitioner and I still have the privilege of seeing some of the wonderful individuals I once supported.
Expanding Foot Care Services
During my time in support work, I noticed a significant need for specialised foot care services that support workers typically cannot provide. My clients already know and trust me, especially when it comes to caring for their feet. This realisation sparked an idea: why not offer nail trimming services as well? To ensure I provide the highest level of care, I trained to become a Foot Health Practitioner at the Institute of Podiatrists. Now, I can offer that extra layer of care and support.
A Comfortable and Enjoyable Experience
I understand that clinical settings can sometimes feel intimidating. Some clients may find masks, aprons, and clinical uniforms daunting. To create a more approachable atmosphere, I wear non-medical-looking scrubs. My primary goal is to ensure that your experience is both enjoyable and comfortable.
I am deeply committed to delivering exceptional care, comfort, and the highest hygiene standards. You can trust that all instruments are meticulously sterilised and undergo regular annual maintenance. Your safety and reassurance are my top priorities.

EXCELLENT Based on 25 reviews Posted on Jeff PurnellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cant speak highly enough, Julia is very thorough and takes time to do a proper job instead of rushing, highly recommend!!Posted on Stephen GradyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Arrived promptly. Extremely satisfied, my feet feel so much better. Julia is easy to chat to and worked magic on my feet.Posted on Amanda WrightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't praise Julia highly enough. I needed to arrange a nail trimming appointment at home for my elderly Mum at short notice after I was let down for two appointments in a row by my usual podiatrist. I rang at least 5 places, and none of them even bothered to ring me back. But when I found Julia, she responded promptly and was able to fit me in within a couple of days. When she arrived, I was impressed by her warm, friendly and kind manner. She was very patient and chatty with my Mum who has dementia. I was even more impressed by how thorough she was. She examined the condition of my Mum's feet carefully before starting work with tools from her massive 'box of tricks'. My Mum's last podiatrist literally just clipped my Mum's nails and went. But Julia examined between my Mum's toes, used various implements to deal with the lumps and bumps on her feet, 'sandblasted' the hard skin with an electric file, and finally lotioned my Mum's feet and gave her a lovely foot massage that practically had her purring. I want to keep Julia just for my Mum and me, but she deserves to be shared with everyone. Book an appointment with her. You and your feet won't be sorry!Posted on Mark PhippsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have never had my feet/toe nails treated before.
