AURELIJA ILLINGWORTH

I am a friendly, fully qualified, insured and DBS-checked foot health practitioner. I am highly dedicated to providing quality foot care services and treatment options to help ease your problems.
I started my journey in the beauty industry offering pedicures and manicures and later on branched out into teaching others. It did not take long for me to realize how much I enjoyed working with feet and I decided to pursue a career in the foot care industry because I wanted to make a difference. My experience allows me to treat and offer advice on a range of foot ailments and my clients consist of all age groups, including those with diabetes, athlete’s foot, arthritis and mobility problems. I also treat people who just want some well-deserved pampering for their feet!
I also work as an educator and mentor students to help build the foundations of the future foot care experts.
