About TiredSole™ — Nurse-Led Foot Care in Ottawa
LOCALLY OWNED · BARRHAVEN & STITTSVILLE
Foot care with time to listen.
TiredSole™ is a nurse-led foot care clinic in Barrhaven. We help people understand their foot concerns, explore their care options and feel more prepared for the next step.
Our work brings together patient care, practical education and support for nurses developing their foot care skills.
Meet Lisa Garland
RPN, FCN, Ed · Founder of TiredSole™
Lisa’s nursing background includes emergency and cardiac care. When illness in her family made a traditional nursing schedule difficult, foot care offered a way to continue nursing while being present for her family.
That experience led to the founding of TiredSole in Ottawa in 2013. As the practice grew, teaching became an important part of Lisa’s work: helping nurses connect what they learn with the decisions they face in everyday practice.
Her story is about caring for people, learning through experience and building support around the nurse as well as the patient.
What you can expect from us
We start by listening
Tell us what is bothering you, what you hope to improve and any concerns about your visit. Your health history and foot assessment help guide the conversation.
We explain your options
Your nurse will discuss the proposed care, what it involves and the next steps. Ask questions before deciding whether to go ahead.
We plan what comes next
Leave with guidance suited to your visit. When a concern needs another professional, we can help you understand where to seek further assessment.
Nursing care and a thoughtful setting
Our clinic offers private treatment areas and a team of nurses registered with the College of Nurses of Ontario. We value clear communication, respectful care and patient education.
Instrument cleaning and sterilization are part of preparing for care. You are welcome to ask your nurse about how instruments are processed and how we prepare your treatment space.
Before your first appointment
- Tell us about your main foot concern when booking.
- Have your medication list and relevant health information available.
- Let us know about mobility, access or communication needs.
- Book a 30-minute appointment. If you are unsure which service or appointment length fits your needs, contact us before booking.
