About Me – Deseree Myburgh
A passion for helping others has always guided my career in patient care.
I began my professional journey as a dental nurse, first in South Africa and later in the United Kingdom. During this time, I completed certifications in dental nursing, dental radiography, and oral health education, and progressed to become a practice manager. My experience in patient care and clinical practice laid the foundation for my transition into foot health.
I am now a fully qualified Foot Health Practitioner (FHP), having completed specialist training at The SMAE Institute in Maidenhead. I am trained in both the theoretical and practical aspects of foot health, providing professional care using the latest techniques and procedures to ensure your feet remain healthy, comfortable, and well-maintained.
I offer routine foot care, including nail management, treatment of corns and hard skin, diabetic foot care, and non-surgical treatment of partial ingrown toenails. Every appointment is tailored to your individual needs, delivered with professionalism and a friendly approach.
