If you need help with any of the following, please drop me a message.

Routine toenail and fingernail trimming.
Ingrowing toenails
Fungus
Cracks
Splits
Flaking nails and skin
Callus
Corns

Thank you

I’m making myself available to the St Austell area for Foot Care Home visits.

I’m still happy working in the west of the county. The year since we’ve moved has been non-stop but it’s still working well, heading out to different areas each work day. Who wouldn’t enjoy visiting the people I’ve come to love as friends, catching up and driving around this beautiful area - trimming a few nails as I go.

If anyone is in need in the local area, I now live in the Carclaze area of St Austell (while travelling back to Penzance/St Ives/Hayle/Helston/Camborne/Redruth 2 days a week)

Hello from St Austell! I have now officially moved and we are settling into our new home.

My clinic in Creeping Lane is now closed and I am working on Home Visits only. I am still visiting the Penzance area and everywhere in between.

Should you need help, I can recommend local colleagues that may be able to offer you an appointment. I may still be able to visit you but it is unlikely to be at short notice, however, cancellations happen, so it may be worth getting in contact if you need help.

My mobile number is still the same but the landline is no longer operating.

Thank you so much for your support, custom, kindness, loyalty and friendship. Hopefully I will see you around when I’m visiting and of course for those I continue to visit, see you soon and thank you for your continued patience.

Many thanks
Gabby 👣

This photograph taken in the 1890s captures a Chinese woman who had her feet bound since childhood. Footbinding was a traditional Chinese practice involving the breaking and tight binding of young girls' feet to alter their shape and size. The resulting modified feet were referred to as "lotus feet," while the shoes designed for these feet were called "lotus shoes." In ancient China, having bound feet was regarded as a symbol of social status and feminine beauty. However, footbinding inflicted great pain, restricted women's mobility, and led to lifelong disabilities. It was not until the early 20th century that the practice began to decline due to anti-footbinding campaigns. Wealthier urban women abandoned footbinding earlier than their less privileged counterparts in rural areas. As of 2007, only a few elderly Chinese women who had experienced footbinding were still alive.
