Ying Peng - Podiatrist
​
The principle of this business and a fully trained and qualified Chiropodist and Podiatrist.
​
Ying started to work in the greater Penicuik area in 2018 in another clinic which has now been sold. She then went fully independent and started to do local home visits. Building her business up over the years finally she decided to open the Penicuik Podiatrist Clinic in 2021 and it opened at the start of 2022.
​
Happily married to Marc, Ying got her honours degree from Queen Margaret University in Musselburgh. Previously to this in her home nation of China she was a Theatre Staff Nurse on an eye surgery ward. When coming over to the UK about two decades ago she did Masters Degree and then returned to medical care working in a specialist ward for Alzheimer sufferers.
Ying has become an industry recognised expert in treating Dementia sufferers for Podiatry. She won a competition to do a paper in this area and gave an interview on the subject to the Podiatrist Magazine in April.
​
Ying also works currently for the NHS as a Podiatrist part time running a clinic in Linlithgow Monday to Wednesday.
​
Although Ying has been in Scotland for just under two decades and is a full UK Citizen in her chosen home, she retain is off course multi lingual.
​
The Clinic has now became a major undertaking for Ying and her husband. Ying concentrates completely on the care of her patients. The majority of new clients come to her through recommendations and this is reflected in the numbers of new patients coming to her for treatment.
​
Claire McManus
​
Claire has recently qualified as a semi permanent make up artist offering both ombre brows and lip blush. Claire is renting the second treatment room for this which we are happy to say has been passed by Midlothian Council for this service.
Previous to this, Claire has always worked in custodial settings since completing her forensic psychology degree at Heriot Watt University in 2016. This new venture is something completely different but something that she has found a passion for and hopes to do full time in the near future.
Claire has a 1 year old little boy called Harry and a 7 year old stepdaughter named Amber. It was the birth of Harry which sparked Claire into finding a new passion, to allow her to spend more time with her son, rather than working long shifts in the cells.
She absolutely loves creating a difference to people's brows or lips and seeing their faces when they see the difference in the mirror. She is able to transform those overplucked brows from the 90s or just help add a little definition and depth to your own shape. For lips, Claire loves experimenting with all her different shades and creating the perfect one for each client. Whether you are looking for a full coverage lipstick lip or just a sheer coverage, she can come up with the perfect colour.
Both brows and lips are carried out using a tattoo gun. You are numbed beforehand therefore most people find the treatments painless and more like a light scratch. Brows last for around 2 year before requiring a top up whereas lips last 3 years.
Claire is available to take any questions or provide you with more information on 07368 483506. You can also find her on Facebook under 'Claire Staig PMU'.
