Carly is a Registered Nurse with a BScN who spent a decade as a paramedic before entering nursing — a foundation that shaped her clinical skill, quick thinking, and compassion for the people in her care. She sharpened her assessment skills in a fast-paced cardiac unit and developed a love for evidence-based practice before launching Tenderfeet Foot Care in Embrun, seeking both professional fulfilment and a healthier work-life balance. Committed to continuing education through specialised courses, certifications, and professional conferences, Carly is passionate about mentoring the next generation of foot care nurses — as invested in her students' growth as she is in her own.
The Ottawa Valley commuter belt is one of Ontario's fastest-growing regions.
The opportunity in Embrun & Eastern Ontario
Embrun sits in the heart of Prescott-Russell County — a rapidly growing bilingual community 30 minutes east of Ottawa. Along with neighbouring Russell, Casselman, Rockland, and the wider eastern Ottawa suburbs, this region has one of Ontario's fastest-growing populations, combining young commuter families with an established senior demographic. Demand for skilled foot care — particularly bilingual, mobile, and evidence-based practice — is strong and largely underserved.
Training with Carly gives you something rare: exposure to a nurse whose paramedic and cardiac unit background bring an acute-care level of assessment to foot care practice. Her focus on evidence-based care and structured mentorship makes her clinical placement especially valuable for nurses who want to build competence and confidence from the ground up.
