Meet the Team

Member of the Australian Podiatry Association and Sports Medicine Australia.
Growing up on our beautiful NSW Central Coast at nearby Forrester’s Beach, Kane loves all that the Central Coast has to offer. Since graduating from the University of Western Sydney in 2006, Kane has gained extensive knowledge and experience working in both private practice and in hospital environments. In 2008 Kane decided to branch out and start a new podiatry practice in Bateau Bay – Performance Podiatry. The name “Performance Podiatry” was chosen to represent the keen scope on sports injuries and podiatry biomechanics. Indeed Kane’s passion for podiatry is only matched by his love of all things sport related!
Growing up, Kane was an aspiring rugby league player and a runner. Playing a few years in the lower grades for the Sydney Roosters and North Sydney Bears, he has now switched his attention to golf and is keen to hit that elusive eagle shot!
From his love of sports, Kane has a particular interest in treating people with sport related injuries. He is also dedicated in treating patients with heel pain and has a great success rate in resolving heel pain both in children and adults.
Kane is trained in the use of 1064 Laser Nail therapy for onychomycosis (toe nail fungus), and has current accreditation to undertake Laser Nail surgery to treat toenail fungus. He has also done further study and training in acupuncture and dry needling and uses this as an adjunct in his treatment regime where needed.
With a gentle approach and easy going manner ,Kane is the ideal choice for your foot and ankle health.

Lesleigh is an experienced podiatrist, having worked with our practice for 8 years. Lesleigh grew up in Lake Macquarie and enjoyed competing in a variety of sports including hockey, cross country, athletics and soccer at both state and national level. This is where her keen interest in podiatry and sports therapy began.

Lesleigh has a passion for using podiatry acupuncture and dry needling techniques in her treatment regimens for musculoskeletal pathologies of the lower limbs and feet. She strives to improve the overall health of our patients by focusing on preventing, diagnosing and treating all conditions of the foot, ankle and lower leg.

Lesleigh lives in Terrigal with her husband and has recently welcomed a new baby boy, Billy. She is a member of the Australian Podiatry Association and Sports Medicine Australia and a bright and enthusiastic member of our specialist team.

Jake joined the Performance Podiatry team in 2018, a few years after completing his Bachelors degree in 2015 at the University of Newcastle. He is an experienced and valued member of our team with an increasingly busy patient load.

Jake grew up on the Central Coast and lives in Springfield with his wife and two little boys under two years old. Toddler Jordan and newest addition – baby Theo are keeping him very busy at home!

Jake also completed a bachelor degree in Medical Radiation Science (Radiotherapy) in 2011 and has been able to transition some of these skills into his podiatry work. He has great experience with maintaining  and treating ingrown nails after being a sufferer himself, but he enjoys all aspects of podiatry and states  that “as long as my patients feel better walking out of my room than they did walking in, I have done my job”.
