Gillian Watkins

We visited the Mary Rose museum yesterday and I couldn't resist posting up a photo of this 16th century stool. I'm not saying mine is this old but it's not very different is it?

Proud to support Daniel's school with a lovely auction prize for this Fridays quiz night.

Would you like comfy feet with lovely smooth skin in time for Christmas? I'm taking bookings now for the run up to Christmas. Treat yourself or offer it to someone else as a loving gift.

This years sunflower by the door picture. Happy Autumn Equinox everyone!

Stool in business!

If you've ever had your feet done by me you'll know this is a very sad day indeed. I bet I've been sitting on this stool (that I bought for £1 in a junk shop), treating feet for about 20 years. This afternoon, suddenly I wobbled! I loved my stool.

I thought this was funny, and probably true. I especially liked the comment about toe nails (of course!)

Our newest edition to flowers by the door. Thank you to whoever put it on our doorstep earlier in the summer, we've looked after it well. (It was much smaller then!)

Nothing to do with feet...just thought you might like to see my red front door, my new, shiny matching red pots and two small, as yet, but perfectly formed beautiful azaleas. I've been promising myself these pots for about four years. Finally got round to it a few weeks ago with the help of Anna and Diane. Thanks ladies.

I can't promise to make your feet look just like these but I'll have a jolly good try. Book now for your pre summer foot mot. #summerfeet

Beautiful warm and sunny weather equals sandals and having your feet on show a little more than they were through the winter months. If you think you might benefit from a pre summer foot mot to pretty up, invigorate and sort out any painful or uncomfortable problems you might have with your feet then please drop me a message and we'll sort out an appointment.

Check out #8. A good idea is to have a treatment first, get your nails into a better shape and then start treating them. I've had a few people now who are really pleased with the results.

By close of play tomorrow I will have seen 50 new people since leaving the NHS/Locala. My heart felt thanks and gratitude to everyone who has supported, advised and encouraged me, booked a treatment or past on my details to someone. I'm utterly delighted with how it's going.

Now these stilettos I totally approve of!

And the winner is... Julie Rickerby! Well done Julie. We'll definitely have to get together now. Sorry everyone else, but please do consider booking an appointment anyway. Happy Mothers Day everyone. X

High heels are great for business. Use sparingly is my advice.

Competition Time. To help celebrate Mothering Sunday I'm holding a competition for either a mother, a daughter or yourself to win a deluxe and relaxing podiatry treatment. (by the way...all my treatments are deluxe and relaxing!) To enter just spread this message around with your Facebook friends and add the name of who it's for and where they live in the comments, I'll put the names in a hat and Daniel, my 5 year old, can pick out the winner on mothers day. If they live far away you can come to me or if they are close, I'll come there. Very good luck 🍀 X

Myself and two wonderful colleagues as we say goodbye to working in the NHS.

After 25 years working for the NHS as a chiropodist/podiatrist I have flown the nest and work entirely for myself now.
I will be delighted come out to your home, at a time that's convenient to you, to do your feet. The treatment will include a warming, relaxing foot soak, a full podiatry treatment tailored totally to your individual needs including offering advice and tips for you to help yourself and to finish, a soothing, moisturising foot massage.
... This may take approximately 45 minutes and will cost you £25. You choose how long to leave it between visits. I can come to see you regularly, occasionally or somewhere in-between.
Do you have difficulty bending down to your feet? Do you struggle to see properly to do your own toe nails? Is your grip weakened or are your nails tough making them hard to cut? Do you suffer from painful corns, maybe on or between your toes or on a joint or under the soles of your feet or heels? Do you have hard skin that needs removing? Do you have dry, unsightly, cracked heels? Do you need help and advice with your feet or choosing suitable footwear ? Do you love to be pampered? Do you need to slow down, sit back and let someone else do the work for a bit while you enjoy a cup of tea and have a good old chat?
If it's a yes to any of these questions then please get in touch. There is a link at the top of this page.
I'm friendly, reliable, very experienced, gentle, thorough, knowledgeable, caring and kind.
I have done private work for many years but am now ready to expand my business having taken the leap to leave the NHS.
Contact me to book your first appointment. You will be really pleased that you did. #podiatrist

Lovely lady and fabulous podiatrist. Can't recommend her highly enough!

Only wish she lived closer to Warwickshire - local friends who Gillian has treated repeatedly ask when she will be back.

Just had my nails done by this fabulous lady who has made my feet so much more comfortable, smoother and 100% more better than before! Thank you so much

I wish I lived closer to Gillian as I would go for regular treatment. Gill is a fantastic podiatrist, very professional and thorough, but when I have had treatment from her, I also come away feeling very nurtured, pampered and relaxed. I realised that looking after my feet and nails, even if there is nothing particularly wrong with them, is so important to prevent problems in future, and when done by Gillian, is very enjoyable too!

I usually hate people touching my feet. I'm extremely ticklish and sensitive where my feet are concerned. There was a bit of a giggle at one point but that quickly passed. Gillian was very sensitive to my needs and made this into a very enjoyable and relaxing experience. I'm definitely going to do this again. Soon. My feet feel gorgeous!

I think Gillian you will give an excellent service!

I have known and worked professionally with Gillian in the NHS for over 20 years, and I have had private treatment with her too. She is exceptionally caring, yet confident in her approach to patient care. She has a very friendly and open manner, whilst at all times maintaining her codes of professional conduct.

I have been going to Gill for the past 7 years and she is wonderful! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my feet as she does a highly professional and skilled job (which leaves my feet feeling fantastic)! Combined with the fact she is extremely affable and friendly, makes her an excellent podiatrist - who I gladly endorse and recommend to anyone.

I had as what can only be described as a heavenly experience when I had my feet recently done by the gorgeous Gillian. I felt quite embarrassed because my feet were in a very neglected condition. But she made me feel totally comfortable and relaxed. It was just divine! The amount of excess stuff that had collected on my feet all now gone. My feet felt brand new and it was absolute worth every penny. Highly recommended for such important foot health, from a lady who really knows her stuff! And you get to have wonderful chats too! Go for it and give your feet the treat they deserve!

I had a really relaxing and effective treatment with Gill today. She was professional, kind and thorough. Thank you Gill. CP

Gillian was professional and thorough on her treatment.

Gillian visited today to look at my daughter's feet as she had some pain in her toes, half an hour later with gentle care her toes feel great. As for me, after a number of years of pain in my right foot, big toe, the relief after an hour's treatment is amazing. I fell walk and starting my journey to run 5k, to be able to do this going forward pain free will be fantastic. Thank you so much. Lovely lady and I have already booked in my next appointment.

Gillian sorted my feet out a treat -especially my wonky toe nail. The whole experience was really good and very relaxing with excellent friendly service from Gillian. Highly recommended!

Gillian is not only a great podiatrist but a truly lovely Lady too. You always feel at ease and know your feet will be perfectly taken care of.

Gillian is exceptionally professional and a very gifted woman. My feet felt like new once she'd worked on them! Totally relaxing too - well worth the investment.

Gillian Watkins provides exceptional quality podiatrist services. I have been a private client for many years and have seen several NHS and private chiropodists but none have been nearly as good as Gill. She is thorough yet gentle. When your feet are painful and need treatment Gill is sensitive yet thorough, with extremely high standards of hygiene. I have always been extremely satisfied with the results.



I have no hesitation in recommending Gill as her treatments provide high quality pain relieving treatments with the added relaxation of spa foot soak and finishing with moisturising foot massage.



Excellent service and very good value for money.
