A healthcare professional and foot care specialist with extensive experience, dedicated to promoting health and well-being. I have more than 30 years of nursing experience in various healthcare institutions, including orthopedic and intensive care units in both Estonia and Finland. Working in a ship’s salon, where the main procedures involved caring for problematic feet, gave me extensive practice in addressing a wide range of foot-related issues.

I have also worked at a family doctor’s center in Tallinn, where independent consultations for diabetic patients were an essential part of my daily work. This provided me with a deep understanding of the need to offer dedicated foot care, as it often became clear during regular medical appointments that there was not enough time for thorough foot examinations and treatment.
