About Feet n Motion

Nick Haley—Principal Podiatrist

I first became interested in Podiatry, when as a 13 yr old my parents took me to a Podiatrist, because I was unable to play sport without twisting my ankle.

Now as you can imagine as a boy at an all-boys boarding school, not being able to play sport was not the thing to do. The Podiatrist looked at my feet and made me some orthotics, these things were amazing they gave me the confidence to get back into running and playing rugby.

I then went on to play age group representative rugby for Canterbury and Wellington. Even today I still use orthotics every time I do any physical activity.

Ella Daly - Podiatrist

I have a keen interest in all things podiatry. I enjoy the challenge of figuring out peoples problems  with the aim of helping patients achieve their goals and becoming pain free.

I understand the importance of a holistic approach and that it is necessary to focus on all aspects of the patients life, not just the lower limb.

Since I was young, I have seen a podiatrist for a range of ailments from ingrown toenails to sort feet and orthotics.

Staying active is important for both my physical and mental health. I've played multiple sports over the years and still play netball. I go to the gym regularly, enjoy swimming and love exploring the outdoors and travelling.

James Kennedy— SeniorPodiatrist

After finishing a PE degree and travelling the world as a personal trainer on cruise ships I developed an interest in injuries to the lower limb and foot. After giving up life at sea I settled down and specialised in podiatry.

I have a strong interest in all things podiatry, but my key areas of interest are biomechanics and injury management. I love the challenge of figuring out the how’s and why's of every injury and enjoy working with every patient to help them achieve their goals.

Linda Evans - Foot Hygienist

After Many years living in Victoria Australia and working in the high-pressure environment of Nursing I have moved back to Ashburton to be closer to family. I have started this role as a Foot Hygienist so I can continue to care for people and use my knowledge, whilst moving away from the demands of the surgical theatre. I love that I can work as part of a team with the Podiatrists to help manage people nails and skin issues and my services include cutting and filing toenails, corns and callus and treating fungal toenail infections.  Often people comment when they leave my room “how good their feet feel”. This makes me feel good about the change I have made to a new role, whilst still in the health sector.

We are enjoying the slower lifestyle and getting out on our bikes, exploring the area.

I enjoy gardening, cooking, reading and are looking forward to getting some kayaks next year to make the most of the lakes.

Sherri Ball - Senior Podiatrist

I have had a life long passion and love for sport and am familiar with managing my own sports injuries which makes it easier to relate to patients. I have a strong background in lower limb biomechanics. I have additional knowledge in musculoskeletal injuries and pain management, and have worked with a combination of general population, youth sport participants and elite athletes.

I am passionate about helping you rehabilitate your injury so you can get back to doing what is meaningful and important to you. I have a holistic approach and factor in pain management as a key aspect underlying your sports or musculoskeletal injury. I value the benefits of an interdisciplinary approach and my goals is to give you the tools so you can actively engage in your recovery.

I love to keep active. I play rugby and do fencing. If time allows, I also like to hit the golf course and do weight training sessions at the gym.
