About me

I always wanted to train as a healthcare professional and the health of my feet and legs has always been my priority. As a young child I developed a foot condition which has now been resolved thanks to a lot of muscle work and learning how this became an issue for me. I take inspiration from each patient I see and it motivates me to educate and be of help to more people.

Expertise

Lena has expertise in foot and ankle related conditions. She treats nails & skin conditions, foot and ankle pain and related to it knee and hip pain.

Experience

My podiatry work experience involves work in the private podiatry sector. In the past I worked as a support worker for vulnerable adults and children and as a dental nurse. I continue my CPD and education every day by attending courses in person and online, while also shadowing other healthcare professionals and reading the most recent studies. Besides podiatry I run community based
yoga classes which I treat as my charity work for the people who want to stay strong and flexible.

Life outside work

My favorite things to do is to stay active mostly by hiking, cycling, running but I also enjoy calming my mind and body by practicing yoga and reading books of any kind.

My favourite thing

I tend to stay quite busy thoughout the week so I always cherish a good meal on a Sunday with my family and spending a quality day with them.
