Our Team

Pippa Pettigrew Lead Podiatrist BHSc. POD. PNZ 

"I was drawn to Podiatry as I wanted my work to be interesting, challenging and contribute to improving people’s health. I love helping people and seeing them achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. I have over 10 years experience treating a diverse range of foot problems and enjoy all aspects of podiatry from treating painful corns, calluses and toenails to helping diabetics and children manage their foot pain. I have a particular interest in biomechanics and video gait analysis and enjoy the challenges that come with treating sports injuries".

Catherine Kelly Senior Podiatrist BHSc. POD. PGDipSEM. PNZ

My ambition to become a Podiatrist began when I was treated by a Podiatrist as an 11 year old with ongoing heel pain. I was treated by a podiatrist with orthoses to overcome this problem, but I was really interested in this profession where I would be able to work with people and help them to achieve the goals that they had too. I was aware that whilst Podiatry is a specialised profession it is also diverse in the types of treatment that Podiatrists are able to provide. I knew the relief that my Nana had from regular visits to her Podiatrist allowed her to keep walking without being hindered by corns and callus. I completed my Bachelor of Health Science in Podiatry in 1999 and returned to Christchurch to begin my career. Since that time I have broadened my knowledge by completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Sports and Exercise Medicine through Otago University. I enjoy using my practical skills and theoretical knowledge to treat each of my clients individually, customising their treatments and developing a plan which will help them achieve their goals, working alongside other health professionals when appropriate and delivering the best result in a timely manner. My aim is to get you back to your chosen activity, whether that be high level sporting endeavours or day to day life, and I am passionate about keeping people healthy and achieving their fitness goals.
