Meet Your Foot Care Nurse
A passion for professional nursing foot care.
Hi, I'm Ben, a Licensed Practical Nurse with a passion for helping people maintain their health, independence, and quality of life through professional nursing foot care.
My healthcare journey began over five years ago as a Community Health Worker, where I developed a strong appreciation for the important role foot health plays in mobility, comfort, and overall well-being. After becoming an LPN, I continued to build my clinical experience working with individuals of all ages and health backgrounds in both community and healthcare settings. I am also currently continuing my education as a Registered Nurse student.
I have completed advanced nursing foot care training that meets the competency standards established by the Canadian Association of Foot Care Nurses (CAFCN), allowing me to provide comprehensive foot assessments, nail and skin care, callus reduction, education, and preventative foot health services.
Comprehensive Assessment
Every visit includes a foot health assessment with circulation and sensation screening to guide safe, personalized care.
Skilled Nursing Care
Nail trimming, filing, and debridement, callus and corn reduction, and ingrown nail management with clean technique.
Judgment-Free Environment
Many people delay foot care because they feel embarrassed. Every client is treated with respect and care.
Our Approach
"My approach is centered on providing safe, evidence-informed, and compassionate care in a comfortable and welcoming environment — so you can stay active and confident on your feet."
— Benjamin Briggs, LPN
