Julia is the owner and Canadian Certified Pedorthist at On the Ball Orthotics. She has been practicing as a Canadian Certified Pedorthist since 2014 and is a certified member in good standing with the Pedorthic Association of Canada and the College of Pedorthics of Canada.

Over the course of her career, Julia has worked in and operated pedorthic clinics across Canada, helping people find greater comfort, mobility, and confidence in their everyday lives. She has experience working with a wide range of foot and lower-limb concerns, including those associated with diabetes, arthritis, neurological conditions, injuries, and sports.

Julia’s interest in pedorthics began with her own experience with foot pain. As a former varsity track and field athlete at the University of Western Ontario, she experienced chronic foot pain throughout many of her athletic years. Discovering how orthotics could reduce her pain and improve the way she moved sparked her fascination with foot mechanics and how small changes can make a meaningful difference.

That experience led her to pursue a degree in Kinesiology followed by a diploma in Pedorthics. Her background in human movement and athletics has given her a strong understanding of how the feet interact with the rest of the body, and how biomechanics, injuries, and activity levels can influence lower-limb function.

Outside of the clinic, Julia enjoys staying active through volleyball, soccer, hiking, running, and waterskiing. Having experienced foot pain herself, she understands how frustrating it can be when pain starts to interfere with the activities you enjoy.

Julia takes the time to understand each patient’s concerns, lifestyle, and goals. Her goal is to help patients better understand their feet, find practical solutions, and get back to moving comfortably and confidently.
