The Annapolis Valley is one of Atlantic Canada's fastest-growing retirement regions.
The opportunity in the Annapolis Valley
Kentville anchors the Annapolis Valley — a stretch of Nova Scotia running from Windsor to Digby that has become one of Atlantic Canada's most popular retirement destinations. Communities from Wolfville to Berwick to Middleton have a growing senior population, active retiree communities, and consistent unmet demand for advanced foot care nurses, particularly for home visits and long-term care facility contracts.
For nurses building a foot care practice anywhere in the Annapolis Valley or western Nova Scotia, the opportunity is real and sustained. Training with Melissa means learning from one of the most credentialed foot care nurses in the country — someone whose 20+ years of experience plus specialty certifications in Onyfix, ToeFX, and custom orthotic fabrication put her in rare company.
