Treat your Feet Well

An informative and interactive presentation looking at foot mobility and alignment.  Our feet are the base of our foundation, so let’s treat them well.

If you wish to join the movements, come in bare feet, have a chair handy and a regular-size piece of plain paper.

Ellen Gleich

Ellen’s area of expertise is foot care. She started providing this service in 1987 with Home Care in rural Manitoba and has continued in Grande Prairie since she and her husband moved to the area. In 2012, she received AHS certification in foot care through the VON in Edmonton.

What is a Medical Pedicure?

Older adults often require special footcare in the form of a medical pedicure which addresses issues of ingrown nails, fungal nails or callus reduction.  Ellen ensures all her clients have personal and sterilized supplies while incorporating spa elements with her treatment — exfoliating, moisturizing and massage.

Ellen provides in-home footcare to Grande Prairie and nearby residents. For out-of-town clients, she schedules some appointments in her home.

Ellen’s presentation will end with a draw for an in-home medical pedicure. Ellen is donating the in-home service and NWARTA is donating the personal/sterilized supplies required for the treatment.
