kaitlin Nielsen
I am a Licensed Practical Nurse that is certified in Advance Foot Care. As well as a Certified Foot & Hand Reflexologist.
My passion for nursing lead me down the path of foot care and healing of the body. I have over half a decade of nursing experience and found that proper foot care is important for many reasons. Proper foot care can reduce pain, increase mobility, assist with injury prevention (ulcers & sores) and increase the likelihood of feet/lower leg concerns being caught earlier. These important concepts seem to only be improved with the use of Reflexology. I've seen reflexology reduce stress, improve nerve and blood supply while increasing your body's overall balance. This has assisted with people's circulation and feeling in their feet, as well as reducing stress and tension in the overall body.
My passions and experience lie in helping those with diabetes, disabilities, dementia and the elderly. I live with Type 1 Diabetes myself. Therefore, understand the importance of maintaining your bodies health and wellbeing. We don't have a cure yet, but we do have many ways to maintain and improve our overall life/way of living. I look forward to exploring these ways with you and your loved ones in the future.
Cheryl Saunders
I am a Registered Nurse that is certified in Advance Foot Care.
I was raised in New Brunswick and graduated from UNB with my Bachelor of Nursing in 1994. I've worked in a variety of units such as, surgical and community health. During my career in community health I became interested in doing foot care. However, life had other plans that moved me to be in Alberta near my son and granddaughter. Alberta is where I started working in senior's homes in 2015. I completed my foot care course in 2017 and provided foot care for my residents until 2022.
In December 2022, Kaitlin asked me to fill in for her at "Foot Care by Kaitlin" over her maternity leave. I really enjoyed being back working in the community. Therefore, when Kaitlin asked if I was interested in staying on my answer was a resounding, "yes." I'm so excited to help you and your families!
Sarah Flynn
I am a Licensed Practical Nurse certified in Advanced Foot Care.
I started my journey in health care as a Health Care Aide working in long-term care. After realizing my passion for caring for others, I went on to get my License in Practical Nursing from Lethbridge Alberta.
I have a history of working in long-term care and hospital settings. It was through these experiences that I found how much I enjoyed working with the elderly and the importance of taking care of our feet. I was drawn to foot care by seeing the impact that it could make on people's lives, including my residents/patients.
My brother is another very important influence on the career path I've chosen. He lives with special needs. Through the inspiration he provides, I've grown to help many special needs individuals in my community to live a prosperous and healthy life. I've found this very rewarding and look forward to serving them and many other people in my community.
