your feet!

I began as a posthetic technician in Minnesota in 1976. I became a Certified Prosthetic Practitioner in 1989. I furthered my training at the Institute for the Advancement of Prosthetics (IAP) in Lansing, MI.

I enjoy helping people with their foot issues, understanding what is causing the issues and how can we heal the feet.
