Growing up, Carissa played a lot of sport and experienced the impact of foot pain first hand. It was this experience that planted the seed of a career in Podiatry.
After graduating from the Queensland University of Technology in 2006, Carissa worked in private practices across Queensland and New South Wales. Her experience working alongside a podiatric surgeon inspired her passion for both the conservative and surgical care of ingrown toenails.
Carissa’s passion for her craft and care for each of her patients is what drives her and the Action Podiatry team to get their patients back on their feet and enjoying life!
A country girl at heart, Carissa is a keen country music fan. When not at work, Carissa enjoys going to the gym and spending time with her young family.

Emma has a passion for helping her patients to move and live free from pain. A debilitating foot injury saw Emma undergo multiple surgeries and endure a prolonged recovery period, so she knows just how important it is to get the best quality treatment, care and advice. Emma graduated from the Queensland University of Technology with a Bachelor of Podiatry and specialises in diabetic foot care, sports podiatry and paediatric patients. In her free time, you can find Emma swimming, listening to live music or hanging out with her friends and family (her three-legged feline friend Arlo is never far away)!
