Meet Leah White – Your POD - Podiatrist On Your Doorstep
Hello, I'm Leah, founder of The POD – The Podiatrist On Your Doorstep.
Having grown up in Devon, I'm delighted to be providing professional podiatry care to the local community. I'm a degree-qualified podiatrist, having achieved my BSc (Hons) in Podiatry at the University of Plymouth, and I'm registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
My journey into podiatry wasn't a conventional one. I previously studied for a degree in Accounting and Financial Management before deciding to retrain as a mature student and pursue a career where I could make a positive difference to people's lives.
However, my interest in foot health started much earlier than I realised. As a teenager, I took part in challenges including Ten Tors and the Nijmegen Marches, experiences that gave me an appreciation of just how important healthy, comfortable feet are when it comes to keeping active and achieving your goals. I wanted to turn that appreciation into a career helping others get the very best out of their feet.
A little more about me.
Away from podiatry, I'm a mum of two and share family life with our dog. We love getting outdoors and exploring the beautiful landscapes of Dartmoor whenever we can.
I also have a long-standing interest in falconry. Having previously worked in the field, it remains a hobby I'm passionate about. It's a little different from podiatry, but both have given me an appreciation for caring for others and paying attention to the details that make a difference.
