Hello! I’m Beth Tiller. I’ll be providing foot care at Peak Energy on the last Wednesday of every month. Hopefully, I’ll be able to add another day in the future!

I’ve been a nurse for over 15 years now. Early on, I started in the hospital on medical/surgical units such as GI and Urology. I then moved to community nursing. I worked part time at a retirement facility and casually as a mobile vaccine nurse. At the time, foot care was just starting out and there was such a need. I decided to do the switch and specialize in advanced diabetic foot care.

Here I am, 10 years later and loving every moment of it. Foot care is such an important aspect of overall general health. We don’t realize the importance until it interrupts our life and disrupts mobility.

My business name is Foot Care Matters and I believe in it. Foot care does matter! It’s never too late to start taking care of your feet.

I offer basic and advanced diabetic foot care. During our visits you will receive toenail trims, toenail filing, ingrown toenail treatment, callous and thickened toenail reduction, foot wear and general foot health education.

Over the 10 years my goal with every client is to manage any challenges we may run into.

In my spare time, I like hanging out with my hubby, twin teenagers, and my fur babes (a big dog and a bossy little cat). I love camping, hanging outdoors and puttering in my sewing room.

Thanks to Peak Energy for letting me join their amazing team of brilliant individuals.

In West Philadelphia, born and raised… no, wait, that’s not right. The South Shore of Nova Scotia is actually where she spent most of her days growing up. Jennifer has been posing as a city girl for the last 20 years.

Outside of Peak, she enjoys spending her free time reading, baking, and spending time with family and friends. She enjoys travelling, and while Cuba & other far away places are typically high on the list of places to be, her favourite place to go right now is Antigonish to see her son at StFX.

Jen’s favourite thing about working at Peak is interacting with all the fantastic team members and patients. Of course, nothing beats providing a little comedy relief with the Statler to her Waldorf, Sondra.

Sondra grew up in New Brunswick and after living in BC for a few years moved back to the Maritimes. In her free time Sondra likes to spend time with friends and family, playing with her dogs, looking after her plants, camping, and travelling. Sondra came to Peak Energy Chiropractic after working for many years in various roles in the health care field, her favourite thing about working at Peak is the amazing staff and patients.

After a 35 year full time career in a fast-paced distribution business, Kelly retired. Then she met Dr. Lorna Deveau from Peak Energy Chiropractic… and the rest as they say is history. Kelly brings to the clinic a solid business work ethic, professionalism, and most importantly a goal to ensure every client is greeted with a smile and a bit of humor! Kelly spends her days off trying out new recipes on her husband, singing/playing guitar, meeting up with friends or family for the opportunity to golf, or just get caught up over a cup of tea. Kelly believes she is no longer the only girl in a family of three brothers, as she has adopted her awesome, highly skilled Peak Energy co-workers as her extended family.
