Meet The Team
Jessica Werner
Founder & Director
Jessica founded Henley Podiatry and Health Therapies in 2018, after more than a decade of experience in both private practice and the NHS in London. Her journey into podiatry began after sustaining a series of injuries as a dancer, sparking a deep interest in lower limb health. She went on to earn her BSc (Hons) in Podiatry from the University of Huddersfield and continues to expand her knowledge through ongoing professional development.
​
As Clinic Director, Jessica now focuses on growing the clinic, mentoring, and developing the clinical team, ensuring excellence in patient care. While she no longer treats clients directly, she plays a pivotal role in fostering staff expertise and advancing the clinic's success. Jessica is also passionate about incorporating Pilates into injury rehabilitation and improving balance, stability, and bone strength, benefiting clients of all ages.
​
Her leadership and dedication are at the heart of Henley Podiatry’s commitment to providing exceptional foot care.
