About the instructor

Owner Operator, TiredSole™ Meet Lisa Garland

With over 33 years of nursing experience, I’ve dedicated my career to a variety of specialties, including emergency, cardiac, oncology, and gerontology. Throughout my journey, I’ve witnessed the profound impact that quality care can have on patients and their families. However, I’ve also learned that time is precious, and achieving a healthy work-life balance is essential for both personal fulfillment and professional success.

My life took a transformative turn when I became a Foot Care Nurse. This role has allowed me to coordinate my time around family and friends, creating lasting memories without the constraints of shift work, weekends, or holiday commitments. It’s a privilege to provide care while also having the flexibility to enjoy life’s special moments.

For the past 15 years, I’ve been passionate about teaching advanced foot care techniques to fellow nurses. I proudly own a successful Foot Care Clinic that just celebrated its 10th anniversary. Our clinic serves the Ottawa community, providing exceptional foot care services across multiple locations and holding numerous contracts with hospitals and facilities.

I love what I do, and it brings me immense joy to see the positive changes in my students’ lives. Almost every nurse on our team has completed the Foot Care Course, resulting in not only increased salaries but also more time to spend with their loved ones. It’s a win-win situation that truly speaks for itself.
