Rebecca earned her Podiatry degree from NUI Galway and has honed her expertise in various aspects of foot care. Her extensive experience spans lower limb biomechanics, gait analysis, chiropody, nail surgery, and diabetic care.

A passionate enthusiast for long walks, Rebecca profoundly appreciates the importance of healthy, pain-free feet for daily movement.
