Jo Schapter’s journey into the world of podiatry wasn’t a straightforward one. She didn’t begin with a clear path; instead, her story unfolded in ways she never anticipated. From her beginnings in sports science to an unexpected detour into beauty and foot care, Jo's story is a testament to the power of following one's curiosity and passion.  Jo’s story is a reminder that we don’t always have to have everything figured out. Sometimes, the best journeys begin when we are willing to explore unfamiliar territories. For Jo, this exploration led to podiatry — a profession she discovered by accident, but one she embraced with an unwavering commitment to learn and grow.
