Book Your First VisitWhat We Treat
Care for the foot problems that hold you back
From thick nails to sore corns, we treat everyday foot concerns with a calm, unhurried touch. Nothing here is unusual, and we've seen it all.
Nail Trimming
Regular professional nail trimming keeps your feet comfortable, hygienic, and healthy. Ideal for anyone who finds it difficult to manage their own nail care safely.
Thick / Fungal Toenails
Thick or discoloured toenails are very common, and they're treatable. We gently thin and shape them so your feet feel lighter and look better.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown nails can be sore, but relief is often quick. The sooner we see them, the easier they are to settle, so don't wait if one is bothering you.
Diabetic Footcare
Regular visits with a nurse who knows your feet make it easier to notice small changes early. We include nerve-sensation (monofilament) testing and simple habits you can use at home.
Monofilament Testing
A key screening tool for diabetic patients, monofilament testing assesses nerve sensation in the feet to detect early signs of peripheral neuropathy and guide ongoing care.
Corns
Concentrated areas of thickened skin from repeated pressure or friction. Gentle, professional care relieves discomfort and prevents painful buildup.
Calluses
Thickened skin that forms to protect feet from pressure. While common, they can become dry, cracked, or uncomfortable — proper maintenance keeps them in check.
Warts
Caused by a virus and often appearing on the soles of the feet, warts can be uncomfortable and may spread. Professional care manages them safely and effectively.
Home Care (Mobile)
For clients who can't easily travel, our nurses bring professional foot care directly to your home. Monday appointments available — comfortable, convenient, and fully clinical.
Ready when you are.
Your first visit takes about an hour and a quarter, and you'll leave with a clear care plan and more comfortable feet. Prefer to talk first? Call or text 226-340-9223.

Diabetic Foot Care
Living with diabetes? Your feet don't have to be a worry.
Diabetes can change how your feet feel and how quickly they heal, which is why small changes are worth catching early. Regular visits with a nurse who knows you and your feet make that easy and stress-free.
You won't see a different face every time. Karen and her small team get to know your feet, so they can notice what's changed since your last visit.
What's included in your visit
A gentle foot check
We look over your skin, nails and circulation, and keep notes so changes are easy to spot.
Nerve-sensation testing
A quick, painless monofilament test checks how well you can feel, so any changes are picked up early.
Safe, comfortable care
Nail care, corns and calluses handled with medical-grade clean instruments and an unhurried touch.
Simple habits for home
Easy, practical tips you can use every day. We'll talk them through and send you home with printed or digital resources.
Can't easily get out of the house? We visit homes, long-term care and retirement residences across Windsor-Essex. We can also direct bill Greenshield and Blue Cross for eligible diabetic home care visits.
Not sure if you're covered? Just ask. We're happy to help.

The Faces Behind Your Care
A small, caring team right here in Windsor-Essex, so you see familiar faces every visit.
“Taking care of your health, one foot at a time.”
Karen Stollar RPN, FCN
Founder & Foot Care Nurse
Hi, I'm Karen
I began my path in healthcare in 2011, earning my certification as a medical device reprocessing technician before completing a diploma in Practical Nursing from St. Clair College in 2016.
After three wonderful years in pediatric care, I stepped back for family — and used that time to further my education, becoming a certified Foot Care Nurse in 2019. This training gave me a deeper understanding of foot health, with a special focus on diabetic foot care.
With the guidance of amazing mentors, I'm proud to now run my own practice, Barefoot Kare, right here in Windsor, Essex. I bring my whole heart to every appointment, and I look forward to seeing you soon.
Treasa
Facility Care, Home Care & Office Nurse
Treasa has been a dedicated nurse for 11 years and is a valued part of the Barefoot Kare team, caring for clients in the clinic, in their own homes and in long-term care and retirement residences. Her gentle, friendly approach helps every client feel comfortable and cared for.
Tanya
Medical Device Reprocessing Technician & Office Manager
Tanya keeps Barefoot Kare running smoothly and safely. She was an operating room sterile technician at Leamington Hospital from 2008 to 2022, so she brings years of hospital-level experience in cleaning and sterilizing instruments to every appointment.
Understanding Your Care
What is a Foot Care Nurse?
A Foot Care Nurse (FCN) is a Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) with specialized training in the assessment, treatment, and ongoing management of foot health conditions.
Medical, Not Cosmetic
Unlike a standard pedicure, foot care nursing is a medical service performed by regulated healthcare professionals. Our nurses use clinical assessment skills and medical-grade tools to safely treat conditions that go far beyond cosmetic nail care — including infected ingrown nails, diabetic wounds, and complex skin conditions.
Essential for High-Risk Patients
Foot care nursing is especially important for people living with diabetes, poor circulation, neuropathy, arthritis, or reduced mobility. These conditions make routine foot care difficult and increase the risk of serious complications. Regular visits with the Barefoot Kare team can catch problems early and prevent them from becoming serious.
Full Assessment & Documentation
Each visit includes a thorough assessment of your foot health — skin condition, nail health, circulation, and sensation. Our nurses document findings over time, track changes, and can communicate with your family doctor or specialist when needed. Your feet are in qualified, accountable hands.
Sterile, Safe & Professional
All instruments are properly sterilized between every client. The Barefoot Kare team follows strict infection control protocols in line with nursing standards — giving you complete peace of mind that your care is delivered in a clean, safe, and professional environment.
“Think of a foot care nurse as your feet's personal healthcare professional — someone who genuinely knows your history, watches for changes, and keeps you on your feet.”
