New Year News

nicola keating   Wed 31 Jan 2018

Firstly apologies for the New Years post on the 31st January but it has been a very busy few weeks here. I (Nicola) got married on the 23rd December at Lough Eske Castle Hotel in Donegal and we are just back from our Honeymoon in Singapore and Thailand. I have plenty of photos to show you all of the wedding and the honeymoon.

Anna Kelly left for a year of traveling in Australia in November and we hope to have her home later this year. We miss her so much but we know she is having an amazing time!

Rachel George joined us in October and has been covering Anna's home visits and clinical days including a Tuesday evening until 8pm. Rachel is so lovely, you will all really like her!

Raymond is still available for appointments on Wednesday evening 5pm to 8pm and 1st and 3rd Saturdays. He is a wonderful biomechanical and surgical specialist.

I'm sure most of you by now have met our resident clinic pupper Pippa. Andrew and I adopted Pippa last August from my wonderuful long term patient Iris. Iris was struggling with looking after Pippa as Pippa does tend to get under your feet. Pippa comes to work with me everyday and sleeps all day in her snuggly bed, you would be more likely to hear her snoring than see her up and about. She is the best thing Andrew and I have done, we love her to absolute pieces and she is so well behaved. She doesn't bark and is wonderful with everyone , children and dogs. She loves nothing more than a good ear scratch. Pippa and I like to visit Iris every few weeks, its so lovely to see how strong their bond is even when Pippa isn't living with her.

The game plan for the clinic over the next few months is to have a second podiatrist working in the second room along side the main podiatrist which will allow more appointments to be available. At the moment we are booking out a week in advance which means we aren't able to offer same day or next day appointments, even emergencies!

We have a wonderful Valentine's Pamper treatment available for the month of February. You can book this through the website.

New year update

nicola keating   Sat 09 Jan 2016   updated: Wed 24 Feb 2016

I'm sure as most of you know (probably hard to miss the texts, emails, facebook and twitter newsfeed) we have moved!

Our new place is in Monkstown Village Centre but most of you will know it as being where the tesco express, mauds icecream, ashers bakery and ToTo chinese is.

It has a ground floor location,disabled access with disabled toilet and most importantly FREE car parking spaces!!!. Inside we have a large reception with beverages and snacks while you wait with a comfortable seating area and ambient music. Our clinic room is spacious, bright and comfortable.

I am so pleased with the move and so far all our patients have been very impressed with the change of venue.

New place brings new people! We have a new podiatrist Raymond Robinson who has joined us part time as a clinical podiatrist. He works full time as a podiatry lecturer at UUJ with a keen interest in nail surgery, biomechanics and steriod injections. He is a fantastic addition to our growing Activefeet team. I even asked him to do my in-grown toenail surgery on myself in November and I'm very pleased and painfree with the outcome (I wouldn't hire someone who I wouldn't let touch my feet!).

We are now open 6 days a week including 2 late nights.

Monday 9am to 5pm (Nicola)

Tuesday 9am to 8pm (Nicola and Raymond evening)

Wednesday 9am to 5pm (Nicola)

Thursday 9am to 8pm (Anna and Nicola evening)

Friday 9am to 1pm (Nicola)

Saturday 9am to 1pm (Raymond or Anna)

Erena provides reflexology on the last Saturday of every month between 9am and 4pm which can be booked through our clinical appointments by phone or through a separate online booking service through our website.

Looking forward to the up-coming year,

Thanks, Nic!
