ABOUT HEATHER

Heather is a former bedside nurse turned nurse entrepreneur. In 2000, she began her nursing career working on a vascular thoracic surgical unit. It was there she saw the lack of proper routine foot care services available for our aging population. Bearing witness to this gap within the healthcare system, she set out to create a nursing company that filled this void. Since 2011 she has been providing seniors the foot care services they deserve through her company, Everyday Divinity.

Realizing the need for senior foot care extended beyond her community, Heather launched a sister company in 2021, The Foot and Nail Institute. This online course teaches a community of nurses nationally, how to launch their own senior foot care business while giving them the freedoms business ownership brings.
