Birth of Sunshine Podiatry
It was a long standing dream for Denise and her family to move to the Sunshine Coast. In search of the warmer weather, plus Denise's husbands family origins coming from Alexandra Headland, the Sunshine Coast seemed the ideal location. Buying in 2019, and moving in early 2020 (Phew! Just before all the Covid activity), the Sunshine Coast was claimed as their new home.
Travel restrictions changed the idea of flying down to Sydney to work in Denise's existing practice, so the decision was made to start a second podiatry practice. Once again, Denise's father (with his watered down Scottish accent), came to the rescue when brainstorming for business names. Inspiration this time, came from coffee mugs. A family banter exists around the fact that Denise received a mug as a christmas present in 2014 with "Little Miss bossy" on it. The following year, Denise received another mug, this time with "Little Miss Sunshine". Denise's father in his uber cool scottish accent said "och okay noo, so for yur second practice, wha bout Sunshine Podiatry. Yu know, bringing a ray of sunshine to yur wee feet."

Denise
Denise believes that podiatry should be as much about the person as the science. Hence, when establishing both her Sydney practice and Sunshine Coast practice, she whole-heartedly ensures each patient is heard and treatments are focused on the needs of each individual.
Denise entered the arena of podiatry after sustaining an ankle fracture whilst playing soccer. During the course of rehabiliation, Denise encountered lots of old school set-ups, and a one size fits all mentality-with little focus on individual ailments. When the golden light bulb illuminated in the world of podiatry, Denise knew she could offer what she's great at - customer service
