    GRAPEVINE, TX, October 10, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Mariann Nichols, Vice-President of Operations for Alliance Foot & Ankle Specialists and Co-Owner of Heavenly Soles Footwear, has been recognized with an Excellence Award as a Distinguished Professional in her field through Women of Distinction Magazine. Mariann Nichols will be featured in an upcoming edition of Women of Edition in 2016/2017.

Mariann Nichols serves as the Vice-President of Operations for Alliance Foot & Ankle Specialists, as well as for Heavenly Steps Footwear. With an extensive background in sales and marketing for several Fortune 500 companies, she was instrumental in both the start-up and for the vibrant operations of both companies. For just over 30 years, Nichols has been responsible for hiring and managing the office staff with a wide range of responsibilities that range from insuring patient satisfaction to monitoring daily operations and accounts receivable. She even served as a medical assistant to her husband in the early days of the practice.

"A solid work ethic and humility are the two qualities that I feel have gotten me where I am today," Nichols said. "Our business takes pride in providing the utmost professionalism to our patients every day, which is why we are as successful as we are today, all these years later."

Nichols' expertise is a tremendous asset to her husband, Podiatrist Dr. Richard A. Nichols and the whole team at Alliance Foot & Ankle Specialists. Her attention to the details of operations management allows Dr. Nichols and his team to focus on innovating and improving foot and ankle healthcare. It is the passion of the entire practice to deliver effective pain management solutions while offering the best available technology, including laser treatment, and to stay on top of evolving best practices in podiatry.

In 2016, Nichols founded Heavenly Steps Footwear with her husband as the result of having provided constant recommendations to patients who needed advice on where to purchase healthy and comfortable shoes.

"Instead of referring our patients elsewhere, we decided to form our own shoe store that would specialize in all of our patients' needs. Six months later and here we are," Nichols said proudly.

Today Heavenly Steps Footwear offers shoes that not only support patient health goals, but are also approved by the podiatry community and are both comfortable and fashionable.

Nichols, a cancer survivor who fought breast cancer 16 years ago beating the odds, wished to give back. She is actively involved in various charitable organizations, including Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the American Heart Association. She also enjoys serving her local medical community any way possible. She even formed her own cancer group, HOPE, and has donated her free time in the past as a Fundraising Coordinator for Baylor Medical Center Regional Hospital in Grapevine, Texas. Nichols was awarded with the 'Keeper of the Flame' recognition for her 20 years of voluntary service with them.
