Lynn is a highly skilled and compassionate podiatrist. She has seven years of experience as a podiatrist and has worked with a diverse range of patients across various clinical presentations. She is known for her commitment to improving her patients’ comfort, mobility, and overall wellbeing. What drives her practice is the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives through expert foot care.
Lynn’s journey into healthcare is as inspiring as her work. Born with non-functional ears, she received a cochlear implant at age seven, allowing her to hear with the aid of a microphone. She is fluent in both English and New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL), which makes her care accessible, inclusive, and deeply valued by a diverse range of patients.
When she’s not in the clinic, Lynn satisfies her adventurous spirit through travel having explored 28 countries and counting. Her favourite way to see the world By motorbike, especially in the more off-the-beaten-path destinations.

Her patients benefit from both her clinical precision and her calming, compassionate approach. A passionate educator, Andrea also mentor’s students at Auckland University of Technology (AUT), helping shape the next generation of podiatrists through hands-on teaching and guidance.
