Dedicated Foot Care Nurses at Your Service

Tender Foot Owner 

Pam began her career in a traditional nursing role working at the Riverside Ottawa Hospital and eventually transitioned to community nursing with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind providing eye care in northern Ontario communities. 

Pam continued her learning journey by obtaining a basic foot care course offered at Algonquin College and bridged into the Feet for Life School of Podortho Nursing program to advance her knowledge and skills augmenting her practice. 

Pam now offers more treatment modalities and comprehensive nursing care plans to service her clientele requiring advanced nursing foot and lower limb care. Pam maintains her membership with the Ontario Foot Care Association and carries the trademark title “Podortho” Foot Specialist.

Laura Mazier graduated with a Bachelor in Human Kinetics from the University of Ottawa and obtained her personal training certification through the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology upon graduation. Shortly after, she obtained her diploma in Pedorthics from the University of Western Ontario.

By combining both disciplines, she has developed a philosophy of using custom made foot orthotics as healing devices, while at the same time working on soft tissue maintenance to strengthen the body’s structures and make the body work more efficiently. Because she makes the custom made foot orthotics herself, she is able to develop creative solutions to correct for more complex pathomechanics and joint deformities.

Her mission in life is to evoke the love of being active and living life to the fullest from everyone she encounters.
