Meet Nadine Brens

NZ Registered Podiatrist

Growing up with troublesome feet herself, Nadine spent plenty of her childhood at the podiatrist’s office. As an active kid, playing sport and involved with dance, she quickly became familiar with the value of good foot care. With sights set on working in healthcare, it’s no surprise that podiatry is where she landed!

Nadine graduated from Auckland University of Technology with a Bachelor of Health Science in Podiatry in 2011. She moved to Christchurch to kick-off her career, and started Foot Werks in 2018.

Now grown to five locations across Christchurch, Nadine works with people from all walks of life. She supports people at various stages of their lives and care with podiatry treatment, including children through to elderly, those with disabilities, as well as athletes and ‘weekend warriors’. Nadine has a particular passion for diabetic foot care, providing preventative care and support for those affected.

Nadine’s approach is a holistic one. This means getting a full picture understanding of your lifestyle, the activities you enjoy, other health concerns or challenges you may have and any goals you are working towards. Her aim is to not only get you back to being pain-free and functional on your feet, but feeling better than ever before.
