Paola qualified as a registered Podiatrist (encompassing Chiropody) in 2000 from Southampton University. In brief, after gaining her degree in Podiatry she went on to work full time in Gloucestershire for the NHS. It was during this period that Paola gained a wealth of knowledge and experience in specialities including diabetes, rheumatology, wound care, nail surgery and chiropody, working both in hospitals and community settings.

Paola then moved to Somerset where she continued to work for the NHS, running Assessment Clinics, triaging, training students, working within Musgrove Park Hospital and carrying out domiciliary wound care and general chiropody. It was during her years working for the NHS that Paola gained the experience that enabled her to successfully move on and work within private practice.

Paola worked at The Wellington Road Foot Clinic from 2006 to 2023, before opening her own clinic, The Old Stables.

All areas of podiatry interest Paola due to her varied experience, including nail care, general foot health and all the associated problems. Her patients encompass all ages, from 3 to 103.

She regularly receives referrals from GPs and health professionals for her services.

Paola is happy to see patients with all sorts of foot problems.
