Unlock Your Full Potential with Wilde Beauty
Hi, I’m Katelin Turcotte, Certified Master Pedicurist® and founder of Wilde Beauty Academy.
For the past 8+ years, I’ve dedicated my career to reimagining what pedicures can, and should be. What began as a love for beauty quickly grew into a mission: to raise the standards of foot care in our industry and empower professionals to feel confident, skilled, and respected for the important work they do.
When I first started working in a traditional salon, I noticed a troubling gap:
❌ Outdated techniques that didn’t prioritize safety
❌ Training that skimmed the surface instead of building real confidence
❌ Unsanitary practices that put both clients and professionals at risk
❌ A lack of knowledge around common, but often misunderstood foot conditions
I knew our industry deserved better. So I invested in myself, pursuing advanced training through The North American School of Podology to become a Certified Master Pedicurist® and continuing my education through more than a dozen advanced certifications.
My background includes:
- Advanced skin & toenail pathologies
- Pedicuring for at-risk clients (diabetes, immune-compromised, elderly)
- Advanced e-file & pododisc pedicure techniques
- NanoBrace™ corrective system for extremely curved toenails
- NanoFlex™ cosmetic toenail reconstruction
- Gehwol & Footlogix product training and treatment protocols
In 2019, I opened Wilde Beauty, a home-based studio built around one vision: safe, waterless, non-invasive pedicures that deliver true results. Since then, I’ve worked with countless clients and professionals, and what I’ve learned is this... foot care isn’t just about appearance. It’s about confidence, health, and quality of life.
Now, through Wilde Beauty Academy, I’m honored to share this knowledge with nail technicians, aestheticians, and foot care specialists who are ready to grow. My goal is simple: to teach you not only how to perform advanced pedicure services, but also why they matter, so you can work smarter, protect your body, and step into your role as the trusted expert your clients truly need.
Because when you elevate your skills, you don’t just change your career; you change lives, one step at a time.

At Wilde Beauty, mentorship goes beyond technique, it's about transformation. Whether you're just starting out or ready to refine your craft, our training is designed to meet you where you are and guide you toward where you want to be.
At Wilde Beauty, I teach from the chair, not just the textbook. Every class is built around real-world knowledge, clinical-level standards, and individualized support for professionals who are ready to do things differently.
Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned pro, training with me is about:

- Strengthening your technical skills and polish prep
- Learning to safely address real foot conditions
- Gaining confidence in client communication & consultation
- Working ergonomically to protect your body
- And most importantly feeling proud of your work again

The benefits of waterless e-file pedicures – Learn why this modern, hygienic method delivers superior results, and get step-by-step guidance on seamlessly integrating it into your service menu.
Confident, safe e-file use – Master the right bits, grits, speeds, and techniques for different foot and nail concerns, plus learn how to work with precision to avoid discomfort or damage.
Consultation & communication tools – Build stronger client relationships with structured consultations, clear expectation-setting, and education that encourages regular maintenance and home care.
Tailored techniques for every skill level – Whether you’re brand new and need a supportive foundation, or advanced and ready for fine-tuning, you’ll receive customized coaching to fit your style and goals.
“There’s no one-size-fits-all in foot care.”
Every professional works differently, and every client’s feet tell a unique story. Whether you prefer the precision of exclusive e-file work or a blend of traditional and modern methods, I’ll help you create a workflow that feels natural. My goal is to help you protect your body, work with confidence, and deliver results that keep clients coming back.
