Still dealing with heel or foot pain that keeps coming back?

I’m offering a Free Movement & Gait Check to help you understand what’s really causing it (not just mask the symptoms).

I’ll personally review a short video of you walking and send you a quick voice note explaining what’s going on and what you can start doing to fix it.

Let’s find the cause ,not just cover the pain.

If you’ve had heel pain or plantar fasciitis, you’ve probably heard this before:
“Your fascia is too tight.”
“Your arches are too flat.”
“You need more support.”
So you stretch, ice, roll, tape, rest… maybe even buy orthotics.
And it helps — for a while (or doesnt)
Until it comes back.
Here’s what no one tells you 👇
Your plantar fascia isn’t weak, it’s doing too much.
It’s holding on for dear life because the rest of your system stopped doing its job.
Your feet are designed to feel the ground and to adapt, stabilise, and communicate with everything above them.
When you prop them up with orthotics, keep them in stiff shoes, or only focus on stretching… you disconnect that communication loop.
It’s not about stronger feet.
It’s about smarter feet , feet that can sense, respond, and reconnect to your hips, core, and the ground beneath you.
When your body moves as one system, the fascia stops screaming for help.
Because pain isn’t always a sign of damage , it’s sometimes just your body asking to be heard.
Your feet aren’t broken.
They’re just waiting for permission to do their job again.

I’m starting a Case Study group this month to help active professionals and adventurers end chronic heel pain and plantar fasciitis for good without orthotics.
Get back to running, hiking, surfing and training pain-free.

We’ll rebuild your foundation from the ground up.

If you’ve been rolling, stretching, strapping, icing, buying new shoes, or even wearing orthotics… and your heel STILL hurts… you’re not broken, you’ve just been looking in the wrong place.

Here’s the problem no one tells you:
Most plantar fasciitis treatments are only chasing the symptom. They focus on calming the pain in your heel - but never ask why it started in the first place.

That’s why it keeps coming back.

The truth is… plantar fasciitis is rarely just a “foot problem.”
It’s often a foot function problem — the way your foot, hips, and movement patterns are working (or not working) together.

When these movement patterns break down, your plantar fascia cops the overload.
And until someone actually tests your function, you’re stuck in a cycle of short-term relief.

That’s where I come in.

In a Foot Function Reset Assessment, I’ll test how your feet and body are really working (your stability, alignment, and movement patterns) to uncover the actual reason your plantar fascia is screaming.

And when you finally see the root cause?
It feels like a lightbulb moment 💡.
Most of my clients say, “I’m so frustrated no one has told me this earlier.”

So if you’re tired of chasing symptoms and ready to finally understand what’s driving your pain — this is your next step.

👉 Book your Foot Function Reset Assessment today for just $49 (normally $200).
Spots are limited.

Not sure if this is for you? DM me the word ‘RESET’ and I’ll talk you through what it looks like and if it’s a fit.

Most people don’t realise this little bone on the outside of your ankle (the lateral malleolus) is meant to glide when you move.
But when it gets stuck forward , from sprains, shoes, or compensation - everything up the chain starts working harder.

➡️ Your calf tightens.
➡️ Your heel lifts early.
➡️ Your foot can’t load properly.

That’s how you end up with plantar fasciitis, forefoot pain, shin splints, even hip and back stiffness.

It’s never just “one problem” though, it’s your system adapting and compensating.
When you reset how the pieces work together, pain starts to disappear at the source.

In the next video, I’ll show you a simple way to free up this bone so your ankle (and the rest of you) can move the way it’s meant to.

Plantar Fasciitis - It’s Not Just About Your Feet!

In this radio chat, I break down why plantar fasciitis isn’t just a “tight fascia” problem and why stretching, strapping, and orthotics often fail to give lasting relief.

You’ll hear:
✅ Why it’s really an overload problem
✅ How movement patterns and foot connection play a huge role
✅ Simple ways to start restoring the way your feet and body work together

If you’ve been told to just “support it and hope for the best”, you’ll want to listen to this.

⚠️ Got plantar fasciitis that won’t go away — even after doing all the “right” things?
Rest. Ice. Stretches. Orthotics.
Maybe it worked a little… or maybe nothing helped.
And now you’re wondering if this is just your new normal?

Here’s the truth:
Plantar fasciitis often isn’t just a foot problem.
It’s a movement problem , a stability problem where your body is compensating in subtle ways that keep overloading the fascia again and again.

That’s exactly what I uncover in my Foot Function Mapping Session.

I’ve opened 3 spots this week for people who want to finally understand what’s really going on and what to do next.

In this 30-minute Zoom session:
✅ You’ll send a quick form + simple movement videos
✅ I’ll assess your movement from the ground up ( feet to core)
✅ We’ll pinpoint where things are breaking down
✅ And you’ll leave with clarity, insight, and a tailored path forward

This is not a generic chat.
It’s for people who are ready to move beyond quick fixes and finally solve the root cause.

If you’ve had plantar fasciitis, bunions, flat feet or Achilles pain and you're ready to get back to doing what you love (like chasing your kids on the beach without limping every step)… this is for you.

Only 3 available this week.
Drop a “Map Me” below or DM me and I’ll send you the details.
