Meet The Author

Erin King

Erin King is a resident of Barrie, Ontario, Canada, and has owned and operated her foot and lower limb care practice, Feet for Life Medical Foot Care Ltd., in her community since 1999. Erin credits her motivation to pursue nursing to her many years as a national level competitive gymnast. Understanding the power of the human frame as a competitive athlete, while mastering the fluidity of movement with grace and style, ignited Erin's passion to learn more about the anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics of the foot and lower limbs.

A graduate of the nursing program studying the healing curriculum at both the RN and RPN levels, Erin has obtained her licence as a Registered Practical Nurse. She has worked in the nursing field for twenty-five years; in hospitals (focussing on complex chronic care and rehabilitation), long-term care facilities, and in private practice. The culmination of her postgraduate studies in foot and lower limb care and the experience and proficiency she has amassed over two decades in the field of Podortho® Nursing has served her patients and students well at her busy clinic, Feet for Life Medical Foot Care Ltd. in Barrie, Ontario.

Erin is a former educator of the advanced nursing foot care program at the Georgian College, Barrie, Ontario campus, and has presented to many colleagues over the years at podiatry and nursing conferences, teaching her specialized protocols and offering her expertise in the latest technologies in foot and lower limb care and business motivation.

Erin is the founder of the Ontario Podortho® Nursing Association Inc. (OPNA), a not-for-profit organization that supports their member nurses in career objectives by promoting the role of the Podortho® Nurse in interdisciplinary healthcare settings or independent practice.
