When I was a young child I remember visiting a nursing home and being upset by the way I heard a staff member speak to a resident: apparently I told my Mother - I am going to change that! I will make sure people know they are important and valued! Kindness and respect costs nothing and I have learned through life experiences to show kindness and empathy to others - its so important.

I set up my own Domicilliary Care Company in 2011 after seeing such a lack of really good quality care in the community - so I have an extensive amount of experience in working with vulnerable people in their own homes from all backgrounds and with complex issues to ensure their needs are met and to keep them as safe and as happy as possible. My working life has taken me from originally training as a nursery nurse to training as a registered care manager. I have also worked in acute aquired brain injury rehabilitiation, eating disorder and forensics in a local Northamptonshire Hospital. I moved to Daventry and worked at Spring Gardens sheltered scheme as the Deputy Manager from 2003, eventually becoming the Manager there. I worked there, set up their Domicillary service and ran the scheme, being responsible for all the care and the lets on the 35 flats until I set up All Aspects Care Limited. My passion has always been dementia care and end of life care. I really love being able to make a difference to someones day or their life.

I originally trained as a foot health practitioner due to a lack of being able to source adequate footcare for some of my customers, especially the house bound or the bed bound. 

I have found that I have a renewed passion for being able to help people with their foot care - every day I am learning and improving my practice and I am passionate about life long learning and training. My practice also takes me all over the county and I love meeting new patients.

By chance I met Vicki and we just clicked and realised we have the same passions and commitment to learning and giving outstanding practice in foot health care. We are both loving our journey in this career and want to bring our skills to a clinic as well as being mobile practitioners.

Vicki and I also practice in local nursing homes-  bringing quality foot care and advice for care staff to those homes. Its been great to work with them and see the care and attention they can bring in this one area of care.

My other passions lie in nutrition and foraging and growing my own produce, Yoga and meditation.

As well as furthering my education in foot healthcare, I have  also just started undertaking a diploma in food as medicine and coaching... the simplicity and the complexity of the science is amazing.

So outside of professional life I have a busy home life with my energetic dogs and family. We are a sporty family with lots of our family members attending local sports clubs. We are a large and close knit family. This year we have sadly been bereaved of our wonderful grandparents at 93 and 96. With 3 months in between them both passing due to their devotion for each other. This is one lesson from them I will carry forward in my life ... Devotion. So I believe I am fulfilling my childhood passion to make a difference for people.

Oh did I mention I also do actually quite like to socialise too!! Thats another great part of our career as foot health practitioners - we get to meet lots of lovely patients, hear their stories as they recount days gone by or events and we get to also provide some solutions to keep them active and on their feet.

Setting up the clinic with Vicki is so exciting as we are able to offer more services and work together to support each others best practice. We look forward to meeting you in person.
