An interview with Vicky Lata, PODIATRIST.
26 Aug 2015 11:28 AMAlive Health- What inspired you to become a Podiatrist?
I have always wanted to operate my own business to have more flexible hours for my family, and podiatry allowed me to do this. I also love working in a health field, helping people to feel better. - What is the highlight of your job?
The wonderful clients make my job extremely enjoyable. I love helping with different foot problems. Always up for a challenge! - Are there any courses you would like to do in the future?
I’d love to be a Podiatry Surgeon! It’s a very specific field of Podiatry dealing with conditions affecting the lower extremity. Or for something completely different I would like to do an interior design course. - Favourite product for sale at Alive Health and why?
Soap and Glory Heel Genius, available from me! I love the smell, and it’s a very good product to prevent heel pain. - What’s your favourite tool of the trade?
Scalpel (it doesn’t hurt!) - Why do you believe people should come to see you?
Most importantly I’m very gentle and thorough. Alive Health is also a very professional clinic with a great ambiance which is very calming for staff and patients. - Tell us a bit about your family
I have a wonderful husband and a nearly 2 year old who keep me very busy. My extended family live in New Zealand and Fiji, which is great for holidays but I don’t see them very often. The Alive Health team are my local family now. - How do you relax after a busy day?
I love to spend as much time as possible with my daughter, playing and teaching her things. That basically takes up all of my free time! It’s a very rewarding past-time. - Dream holiday destination
I was born in Fiji and it is still my ultimate holiday destination! I’d love to travel around there more and see the sights. Stay in some lovely places. I usually just go there to see my family and don’t get around to enjoying Fiji’s beauty at the fullest. - Hobbies/fun things you like to do while you’re away from work?
I am obsessed with my stationary and planner. I love to make it as decorative as possible. I’m also a beginner scrapbooker. I would love to have a beautiful album with photos of my daughter.
