Meet Claire 👋✨
Podiatrist | Biomechanics Nerd | “The one with the horses”

I’m a major biomechanics nerd who particularly loves anything musculoskeletal, gait analysis, exercise, and footwear. I’m all about finding the root cause of pain, breaking down complex biomechanics into simple, practical advice, and helping people move better 👣💪

I’m obsessed (in a healthy way!) with gait patterns, balance play, functional movement, and matching people with the perfect footwear to support their goals 👟✨

My passion for foot function is also deeply personal. My own struggles with my feet in the past lead me on a hunt for my ticket out of pain, and discovering anatomical footwear and foot-strengthening approaches completely changed how I move and feel day to day. Improving my own foot function not only helped resolve my issues, but also shaped the way I approach my treatments in clinic — with a strong focus on restoring natural movement, building strength from the ground up, and finding footwear that truly supports long-term function rather than just short-term comfort whilst meeting the patient where they are at.

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll probably find me:
🐴 Riding and training my dressage horses
👩‍🍳 Experimenting in the kitchen
🌿 Enjoying time outdoors

I bring energy, warmth, and a big smile to every consult — and I genuinely love what I do 💚

🌿✨ A note from Hayley ✨🌿

Deakin Holistic Podiatry is almost 5! It has been a whirlwind but definitely a superb 5 years up to now and we have lots of plans in the making.
During the time Claire and I have worked together, we have heavily invested in professional development and education, so that we can bring the most up to date information and treatments into the clinic with us.
It’s really important to me that we have time to be able to offer this to our patients so we are making a few changes to the structure of our appointments. I am very excited to announce that our musculo-skeletal clinics are now up and running! For you; our patients, this means we have time to provide longer appointments for assessment, diagnosis and treatment of your lower limb / pain, dysfunction or injury. It also means we have time for regular follow up as required to get the best results that we can. For Claire and I; as practitioners, this means we have TIME to use our passion for msk, our extensive skill set, and put all of those hours of education and development into practice.
We are all so excited to see this part of the clinic grow.

👟✔️Back-to-school check ✔️👟

With the new school year fast approaching, now is the perfect time to check that your children’s feet and shoes will be ready. Growing feet need more than just “the next size up.” When choosing school shoes, always check shape, length and width—toes should have room to move, heels should sit snug, and there should be no pinching or rubbing across the foot. A good fit means better comfort, foot function, and confidence all day long🦶🏼

Tip: don’t forget to re-check fit during the school year—kids’ feet grow fast! 🌻

Here are a couple of our favourites:

✨ It’s a particularly busy time of year!✨

As we head towards Christmas (and prepare for time out of clinic for a break), we kindly ask all patients to confirm your appointments or give us plenty of notice if you need to reschedule or cancel.
