From childhood, I have always taken a delicate approach to health and beauty. I could spend hours watching the work of a familiar nail technician at the local beauty salon.

I had to go through a long and winding road to realize myself as a podologist. This included changing professions, attending numerous training sessions, and relocating to another country. But let's take it step by step.

In 2014, I first picked up tools as a nail and pedicure technician at the Kharkiv Regional Scientific Center. As I actively built my clientele and gained experience, I advanced as a top specialist and mastered the hardware pedicure technique.

In February 2018, I completed an advanced course in pedicure and the basics of podology in Kharkiv and studied foot problems and their solutions at the ifeet.pro school in the Netherlands. I also enhanced my knowledge at the Reforma school (Kharkiv) on the topic of 'problems in pedicure and their nuances.

The year 2018 marked a breakthrough for me, and I clearly understood that I wanted to make nails not only beautiful but also healthy! After taking the theoretical course by Olga Palenova on 'Onycholysis. Onychomycosis. Fungal infections. Symptoms and treatment,' I realized that this was just the beginning, and I began to independently deepen my knowledge of foot issues from various scientific sources.

Almost two years ago, thanks to my intuition and a fortunate turn of events, I came to Tatiana Kavtaradze's center and said to her, 'I want to work with you!' And here I am, in Batumi, helping people and loving the feeling that I have made a difference in my patients' lives!

Working at Tatiana's center has enriched my knowledge, which I effectively apply to patients in the following areas:

• Installation of brace systems
• Nail prosthetics
• Orthosis fabrication
• Basics of orthopedics
• Wart removal
• Kart pedicure

My motto is: 'Patience, the ability to positively perceive others, and making them more beautiful and healthier is akin to being a psychologist. A grateful smile and a client's good mood are the best rewards for my efforts.'"
