Ellen was introduced to the field of pedorthics younger than most. As a child, Ellen began wearing orthopedic shoes to correct pigeon-toes, but tossed them upon entrance to high school. When she began suffering from debilitating plantar fasciitis pain at the age of 28, Ellen again tried orthopedic shoes as a last resort and found immediate relief. As a walking testimony, Ellen soon began her journey to become an expert pedorthist seeking to educate and help others reduce chronic foot pain.
