About Us

Carly O’Donoghue

Director/Podiatrist

Hi I’m Carly – owner of this fantastic business. I have seen Podiatry as a profession grow over the last 21 years, as more people become aware of what Podiatrists can do for their overall health and long term mobility.  As we adopt new technologies and evidence based treatment techniques, I am confident that the benefits for our patients will be evident in quicker healing time with injuries and more effective pain relief applications.

I manage the business together with my amazing administration team, although the highlight of my week is Wednesday mornings, where my appointment book is open and I have the pleasure of treating new and long term patients alike. Ingrown nail removal procedures are my passion, and I enjoy being able to treat my patients ingrown nail problems quickly, and with minimal discomfort. 

My passion outside work is reading, and also walking/hiking, with my favourite hikes so far have being 48km Kokoda Challenge, the 3 Capes in Tasmania and the Routeburn Track in NZ.  

Daniel Neill

Podiatrist

Hi, I’m Dan, and you’ll find me working from both the Landsborough and Kawana clinic locations.

I studied Podiatry at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) before making the move to Cairns, where I spent four years working with a diverse range of patients, from elite athletes to weekend warriors. After that, I relocated to the Sunshine Coast, which I’ve proudly called home for the past two years.

My clinical interests lie in musculoskeletal podiatry, particularly in managing heel pain, Achilles tendinopathies, and other lower limb injuries. I also enjoy performing ingrown toenail procedures and find it rewarding to provide immediate relief for patients dealing with this common issue.

I’m passionate about using up-to-date, evidence-based treatments and enjoy taking the time to explain your condition and the reasoning behind each step of your care. I believe that educating patients is key to achieving the best outcomes.

Outside of work, you’ll often find me on the golf course, usually still searching for my ball or spending quality time with my family and taking our dog for beach walks.

Mia Orford

Podiatrist

Hi I’m Mia, and you can catch me at either the Landsborough or Beerwah clinics locations.

After graduating from Queensland University of Technology, I worked in a few clinics across Brisbane and Caboolture, to land myself at Stepping Out Podiatry, where I fell in love with the Sunshine Coast, the Hinterland community, and the team I work with everyday.

My passion in Podiatry is providing a holistic approach to treatment, no matter what the foot condition.  I pride myself on taking the time to look at how your foot is moving in relation to the rest of your body, to find the exact cause of your pain. Heel pain, achilles tendinopathies, calf strain and knee discomfort are all areas of interest, along with problematic toe nails.

I enjoy providing the most up to date biomechanical treatments to patients, and I am constantly researching and going on external courses to update my skill set and knowledge, to provide the best patient outcomes possible.  You will find I will spend the time explaining your condition to you, as I believe health education is very important to improve patient outcomes.  

On the weekends I love walking/hiking, renovating my home, and relaxing with a good movie!

Jason Roberts

Podiatrist

Hi, I’m Jason, and I moved to Australia from New Zealand after graduating from Podiatry in 2011.   I have worked at Stepping Out Podiatry since 2012, and couldn’t imagine a better work place, as I meet so many interesting people who love a chat just like me!

I work mainly out of the Landsborough clinic, however you will find my at the Kawana location on a Tuesday.

After 12 years of Podiatry, I still love treating both problematic toe nails, as well as complex musculoskeletal conditions. Fractures, abnormal gait patterns, heel pain and achilles tendinopathies are areas that I have a special interest in treating.  I love to get my patients back on their feet, doing the things they love the most, as quickly as possible.

I enjoy catching up with friends on the weekends, going to the zoo with my family, and overall just love living on the Sunshine Coast!
