OUR COURSES
Why Choose Us?
Our Academy team brings years of experience in both treating clients and training practitioners in contemporary foot care techniques. Beyond their clinical expertise, our professionals work across clinics, practices, businesses, and training environments. Committed to continuous professional development (CPD), they consistently update their knowledge and skills — ensuring they can support you in advancing your own practice
Lacuna Method
The Lacuna Method™ offers a cutting-edge yet straightforward solution for fungal nail infections. This technique involves painlessly drilling micro-holes into the damaged nail, creating small channels that allow an anti-fungal agent to penetrate directly to the infected skin beneath the nail.
Patients then continue treatment at home by applying the prescribed anti-fungal medication daily. Over time, this supports healthy nail growth as the infection is gradually eradicated.
The Lacuna Method™ is an effective, minimally invasive, and patient-friendly treatment — giving practitioners a reliable option to tackle stubborn fungal nail infections.
Pedisafe Nail Reconstruction
"I've got really ugly nails — can you help me?"
How many times have you heard this from a patient?
A person walks into your clinic with thickened, fungal, and unsightly nails — the kind that only a mother could love — and they ask the all-too-familiar question: "Can you help?"
As a podiatrist or Foot Health Practitioner (FHP), you already have the skills to make their nails look better:
- You reduce the thickness with a burr.
- You tidy them up using your expert foot care techniques.
But… what if you could do more?
With PediSafe, you can.
PediSafe is an advanced nail reconstruction and remodelling system designed to restore the appearance of damaged nails — whether from trauma, fungal infections, or post-operative procedures.
More than just a cosmetic fix, PediSafe offers a safe, effective way to rebuild and protect nails, giving your patients a solution that boosts both their nail health and their confidence.
So the next time a patient asks, "Can you help?" — you can confidently say, "Yes."
Pedisafe Bracing
Addressing a curved nail in practice can be challenging, especially when anaesthetic is not available. Typically, the definitive solution involves a partial or total nail avulsion under local anaesthetic, often combined with a chemical to prevent regrowth.
However, for practitioners without access to these resources, alternative strategies must be considered.
So, what are your options when surgical intervention isn’t possible?
Let’s explore effective, non-invasive techniques for managing curved nails and providing relief for your patients.

OUR COMMUNITY
As a long-standing mentor and clinical director, I’ve had the privilege of training and guiding many students over the years. Throughout this journey, I’ve consistently observed what aspiring Foot Health Practitioners and Podiatrists truly need — and what they want — to thrive in their careers. What I discovered was eye-opening.
In 2025, it’s clear that most new and seasoned professionals in our field are seeking to:
- Connect and network with like-minded experts and entrepreneurs in the industry.
- Collaborate and mastermind with experienced professionals to share strategies and insights.
- Work smarter, not harder — scaling their businesses without compromising their well-being.
- Stay current with cutting-edge business strategies that work right now.
- Avoid burnout by steering clear of overwhelming events packed with endless queues, generic content, and little to no personalized value.
- Belong to an elite community where they are recognized as valued members — not just another face in the crowd.
The truth is, entrepreneurship — especially in healthcare — can feel isolating. But it doesn’t have to be.
That’s why I’ve created a community that’s different. A space where we not only share knowledge but support each other in building sustainable, impactful businesses — without sacrificing our health or passion.
If any of this resonates with you, I warmly invite you to join our membership community. Together, we’ll navigate the entrepreneurial journey — strategically, sustainably, and successfully.
I truly hope to see you there.
Warm regards,
Nicola
