She is known for delivering comprehensive, personalised podiatric care across a wide spectrum of conditions, with a strong focus on long-term outcomes and patient confidence.
Professional Background
Ari qualified as a podiatrist in the United Kingdom and began her professional career in 2008 at Brunei’s main government hospital. Over nearly a decade of service, she managed a broad and complex caseload, ranging from general podiatric conditions to high-risk and medically complex patients.

Her expertise also includes high-risk geriatric care—encompassing diabetic foot management, wound care, and fall-prevention strategies—as well as paediatric conditions such as toe walking and severe flat foot.
Approach to Care
Ari’s clinical scope spans both precision-based general podiatry—including ingrown toenails, corns, calluses, and warts—and rehabilitation-focused musculoskeletal care.

The edge of the toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing redness, swelling, pain, and sometimes infection.
Nails become discolored (yellow, brown, or white), thickened, brittle, or crumbly. If left untreated, the infection can spread to other nails.
Thickened layers of skin caused by friction or pressure, and may be painful, cause inflammation, or even get infected.
Inflammation of the tissue connecting the heel to the toes, leading to sharp heel pain, especially after periods of rest or prolonged activity.
We don’t often think about how our daily habits can impact our foot health—until something goes wrong.
Here are a few examples:
Don’t wait until these habits lead to bigger problems. Visit us today and take the first step toward healthier feet.
STEP 1
Preparing the necessary
Make a list of your symptoms and questions. Prepare any referral letters and medical records, X-rays or ultrasounds, if any.
STEP 2
Perform Assessment
A crucial role of a foot specialist is to thoroughly assess the patient to identify the cause of the foot complaint and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
STEP 3
Findings and Treatments
After conducting the assessment, our podiatrists will thoroughly review the findings and discuss them with you. Based on the assessment results, they will then provide recommendations for treatment.
STEP 4
Proceed with Treatments
Once you have agreed to the recommended treatment plan, we will proceed with the necessary treatments.
Our clinic uses a wide range of modern podiatric equipment such as shockwave therapy, to aid your progress during treatment.
We provide a tailored approach to foot care, combining physical therapy, custom insoles, and prescribed exercises to support recovery and overall foot health.
Rehabilitative exercises are designed to strengthen muscles, improve mobility, and help prevent recurring issues.
We prioritise patient education, providing clear information and guidance to help you understand your condition and make informed decisions about your care.
For general foot health, once a year is sufficient. If you have chronic conditions like foot sores and diabetes, you may need more frequent visits.
Most podiatry treatments are designed to minimise discomfort. Our team prioritises your comfort and uses modern techniques to ensure procedures are as pain-free as possible. For treatments that may cause mild discomfort, we use local anesthetics or other pain management options.
Follow your podiatrist’s instructions, keep the area clean and dry, wear supportive shoes, and attend follow-up appointments.
We prioritise non-invasive treatments whenever possible and only recommend surgery when other methods are ineffective.
