FROM HEAD TO TOE

Over my 10+ years as a podiatrist, my practice has gradually evolved into a more minimalist and barefoot approach. This methodology honours the foot’s natural design while addressing the entire body’s mechanics. While this differs from traditional podiatry’s focus on supportive interventions, I embrace a balanced perspective that respects all approaches.

As a Holistic & Natural Foot Function Podiatrist, I believe the key to real, lasting results involves looking at the bigger picture. By taking the time to know + understand you and your lower limb concern, I can help you uncover the root cause. Supporting you every step of the way towards a life without the restraints of pain, discomfort or injury.

A holistic approach for long-lasting results

Consult Appointments

Consultation-style appointments ensure I’m providing a thorough assessment of your concern. Quick appointments are limiting and typically focus on the concern only at face-value. I believe that lasting results come from taking the time to look at the bigger picture.

Pilates-Certified

Our entire body is connected, and discomfort in one area often stems from another. With that in mind, I completed a Pilates certification to better treat my patients. Alongside manual therapies, I can prescribe exercises to build strength and balance throughout the body.

Natural Footwear

Modern footwear can limit natural foot function. My podiatry style integrates manual therapies, exercise and low level laser therapy to treat your concerns. So that when you’re ready, you can step away from the limitations of modern footwear and orthotics.

Interest in Biomechanics

My desire to approach podiatry from a holistic point of view has lead me to gain further education on the body as a whole. With an understanding of the entire body, I can move past the foot and ankle- connecting the dots to the source of your concern.

Meet your Podiatrist, Elise

Creating a safe space for real healing

Hi, I’m Elise! I grew up in Shoalhaven Heads, where I spent most of my time in the surf or playing sport. After selling my busy podiatry clinic in Narellan, I am so excited to be back home- to create special moments with my young family, and to share my passion for natural foot function podiatry with my South Coast community.

My vision for The Sole Pod

My goal is to create a safe space that doesn’t overlook your concerns or leave anything on the table. I want everyone to live a life where they can move freely and do the things they love- without the restraints of pain or discomfort.
