Meet Claudine Daigre | Medical Foot Care Specialist/Holistic Wellness Practitioner/Former Laboratory Director

We had the good fortune of connecting with Claudine Daigre and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Claudine, how does your business help the community?
At Atlanta Cave Feet, our mission extends far beyond aesthetics—we are dedicated to holistic healing, education, and empowerment in the realm of medical pedicures and foot health. Our work serves the community in the following ways:

1. Healing Beyond Aesthetics
We specialize in medical pedicures and nail restoration, offering solutions for individuals struggling with foot health concerns such as fungal infections, calluses, and nail damage. Our goal is not only to restore confidence but to provide comfort and relief to those who may feel overlooked in traditional nail care services.

2. Educating and Elevating Professionals
Through specialized training programs, we are equipping nail technicians with advanced medical nail care skills while integrating a metaphysical perspective. This approach empowers practitioners to provide both technical and energetic healing, fostering a new wave of professionals who see foot care as part of a person’s overall well-being.

3. Creating a Safe Space for Healing
Our spa is more than just a business—it is a sanctuary where clients can experience restoration in both body and mind. By combining expert foot care with a calm and intentional environment, we ensure that every client feels seen, heard, and cared for.
4. Promoting Holistic and Preventative Care Through Education
At Atlanta Cave Feet, we believe that education is key to maintaining healthy feet. Many foot health issues can be prevented or managed with the right knowledge, which is why we take the time to educate clients during their appointments. We provide personalized guidance on proper foot hygiene, nail care, footwear choices, and lifestyle habits that support long-term wellness. Additionally, we create educational content and resources to help clients understand the connection between their feet and overall health. Whether it’s through one-on-one consultations, digital materials, or product recommendations, we ensure that every client leaves empowered with the tools and knowledge to care for their feet beyond the spa.

5. Community Engagement and Partnerships
Our impact extends into the broader community through partnerships with CVS, Kroger, and Kennesaw State University ACE Program. These collaborations allow us to expand access to holistic foot care, provide resources to underserved communities, and contribute to the financial and professional growth of those we train.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My work is more than just a service—it is a deeply spiritual and healing experience. I specialize in medical pedicures and foot and nail restoration, but what sets me apart is my holistic approach. I infuse energy work and intuitive healing into my practice, ensuring that every client not only receives exceptional foot care but also experiences a space of restoration and balance. My art lies in the way I merge science, spirituality, and healing into one transformative experience.

I am most proud of the impact my work has had on people’s lives. Seeing clients regain their confidence, experience pain relief, and feel a sense of renewal through my services is incredibly fulfilling. I’m also excited about the training program I’m developing, which will teach other nail technicians to become medical nail technicians from a metaphysical perspective—helping them harness their healing abilities while mastering foot care.

My journey to where I am today was far from easy. With over 25 years of experience in the medical field, I’ve worked in blood laboratories, run labs for doctors and hospitals, and even built and ran my own Laboratory, Outreach Mobile Labs, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This experience of creating a business from scratch, running labs, and navigating the medical field has been instrumental in shaping my approach to foot care and restoration. Transitioning into the world of holistic medical pedicures required faith, resilience, and a willingness to redefine how people view foot care. There were financial challenges, doubts from others, and moments of uncertainty, but I stayed true to my purpose. I overcame obstacles by trusting my intuition, aligning with the right mentors, and allowing the universe to guide my path.

One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is that healing begins from within. Whether it’s personal healing or helping others, you must be grounded, intentional, and in alignment with your purpose. I also learned that no matter how big your vision is, you must take steps—one by one—to build it into reality.

What I want the world to know about me and my brand is that Atlanta Cave Feet is more than just foot care. It’s a sanctuary, a place of transformation, and a movement redefining wellness from the ground up. My story is one of faith, perseverance, and deep-rooted passion, and I hope to inspire others to embrace their healing gifts and pursue their dreams unapologetically.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would love to dedicate my shoutout to my ancestors, my spiritual guides, and the divine energy that has guided me throughout my journey. Their presence has been a constant source of wisdom and strength. I also want to acknowledge my family and close friends who have supported me unconditionally, even when my vision seemed unconventional.
A special shoutout to my mentor, Alexis Williams, who has been instrumental in helping me develop my training manual, Mastering Medical Pedicures: A Comprehensive Guide to Foot and Nail Restoration. Her guidance has been invaluable in shaping my expertise and allowing me to share my knowledge with others.
Additionally, I’m grateful for the mentors and educators who helped shape my expertise in the medical field, as well as the clients who trust me with their healing and care. Lastly, the ACE Program at Kennesaw State University has played a role in refining my business strategy, and for that, I’m deeply appreciative
