Your Feet Deserve
Expert Care
Professional foot care from Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs). Compassionate, personalized service — one foot at a time.
What We Treat
Our Services
Comprehensive foot care for a wide range of conditions, delivered with clinical expertise and genuine compassion.
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 fungal nails can worsen over time without proper care. Professional treatment helps restore nail health and keeps your feet comfortable.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails can lead to pain, redness, swelling and possible infection if not treated promptly. Early professional care prevents complications.
Diabetic Footcare
Proper foot care is essential for individuals with diabetes. Regular professional care keeps feet healthy, safe, and well monitored — reducing the risk of complications.
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.

Meet Your 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.
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.”
