Meet Our Senior Podiatrist

Caitlen is the founder of Peregian Foot Clinic and a highly experienced podiatrist with over 10 years of clinical practice. Holding a Bachelor of Health Science and a Masters of Podiatric Practice, she is experienced and confident across all areas of podiatry — with particular expertise in sports injuries and foot pain, ethical orthotic prescription, injury rehabilitation and children’s podiatry. She treats a range of children’s lower limb conditions, utilising in depth paediatric assessment and child centred management plans.

She served as a Clinical Educator at La Trobe University , mentoring and shaping the next generation of podiatrists — a role that reflects both her depth of knowledge and her standing within the profession.

Caitlen’s management plans are in depth and multifaceted - she regularly utilises hands on therapies including foot mobilisation, dry needling and soft tissue work, in combination with rehabilitation and strength and conditioning plans, footwear prescription and biomechanical offloading.

She is deeply committed to ongoing professional development, attending regular conferences to stay at the forefront of musculoskeletal, sports and paediatric podiatry. Caitlen is a member of the Australian Podiatry Association (APodA) and Sports and Exercise Podiatry Australasia (SEPA), and is part of the Paediatric Podiatry Australia special interest group within APodA — reflecting her dedication to children’s lower limb health.

Her approach is holistic and personalised, focused on identifying the root cause of each problem and building treatment plans designed for real, lasting results — getting patients back to doing what they love. She is passionate about providing high quality healthcare and is genuinely invested in helping people meet their goals. Her approach to paediatric podiatry is thorough, ethical and family and child centred - always.

Caitlen lives in Peregian Beach and is a mum of two. Her weekends are spent outdoors with her family — at the beach or on some kind of active adventure. A lover of all things sport, exercise and the outdoors, she knows first-hand how much an active lifestyle matters — and it’s exactly why she’s so passionate about helping her patients maintain theirs.
