298 - From Cane Farm to Foot Care with Rebecca Eakins

Rebecca Eakins, from Buderim Foot & Ankle on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, is one of the most inspirational podiatrists I've had the pleasure of interviewing. After graduating with degrees in podiatry and exercise physiology from the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), she worked on the Sunshine Coast before eventually moving back to her North Queensland hometown of Ayr to be closer to family.

Several years later, Rebecca returned to the Sunshine Coast to open her in early 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Through perseverance and community involvement, Rebecca overcame the challenges of opening during COVID-19 to establish a thriving clinic. She enjoys helping everyone, from children to athletes, maximize their health through podiatry. Rebecca's story shows that you can achieve your dreams even in the face of adversity with passion and grit.
