Meet Tahlia- the heart behind Heal Focus Podiatry.

Tahlia North, Principal Podiatrist (BPod 2014)

Hi, I’m Tahlia — the founder and principal podiatrist at Heal Focus Podiatry. I created this clinic with a simple goal: to offer foot care that feels personal, empowering, and grounded in real-life outcomes.

I believe in taking the time to really understand you — your lifestyle, your goals, and how your feet are affecting your day-to-day. Whether you’re managing a specific issue like forefoot or heel pain, or simply want to move more comfortably, I’m here to help you feel heard and supported every step of the way.

Every great clinic starts with a purpose — and for me its helping people move with ease, confidence, and less pain.

AREAS OF INTEREST

• Forefoot & Heel Pain (neuromas, plantar fasciitis, and stubborn pressure points.)
• Women’s & Children’s foot health: Support through every stage — from early development to pregnancy and beyond

ABOUT ME

After graduating from the University of South Australia with a Bachelor of Podiatry in 2014, I gained experience across a wide range of clinical settings throughout South Australia — from city clinics to regional towns. I’ve worked in private practices, aged care facilities, community-based services, and sporting clinics, which has given me a deep understanding of how diverse foot care needs can be.

These experiences have shown me just how impactful thoughtful, hands-on treatment can be — especially when delivered with genuine compassion.

As a local, I love supporting the Glenelg South community and helping people of all ages get back to doing what they love. Outside the clinic, you’ll often find me outdoors with my young family — camping, chasing my kids around, listening to a good podcast, or keeping up with the latest footy or netball game.

With a focus on quality over quantity, Heal Focus is proudly independent, family-run, and built on genuine care and connection.
