Prior to starting her Degree at 45, Carla ran a successful Conference and Event Management & Marketing Company for over 20 years.  Often burning the candle at both ends, Carla had a health crisis which led her to a Naturopath in 2008.  So profound were the improvements to her health from the awful tasting, but amazing herbal tincture given to her she just had to learn more and, subsequently, in 2010 embarked on five years of study to become a qualified Naturopath herself. 

​

Carla graduated in 2014 and after owning and running a small clinic and dispensary on the Gold Coast, went into private practice where she has been supporting the health of families and individuals for the past seven years.   She has subsequently completed additional education in order to focus more on counselling with clients who struggle to achieve their health, life, diet, relationship, exercise or sporting goals.   Further to this, Carla created "Mind Align", to address and deliver measurable mindset strategies in order visualise, create a set of habitual actions in order to achieve desired outcomes. Drawing on her lived experiences, education and a deep intuitive understanding of human beings and the "human condition", Carla supports individuals and teams align to their desired goals.

​With a herbal dispensary containing more than 120 ethanolic extracts, Carla can tailor a remedy for any complaint as well as compounding nutrients and making creams and ointments.

Whilst Carla has been a general health practitioner, she is specialising more in pain management and pre and post surgical care, support and advocacy, after her own experience with chronic pain - requiring two total hip replacements -  and a revision, complete with plates and screws after an accident in 2022. Carla has a deep understanding of the impacts of pain and surgical intervention and has developed a range of strategies and solutions to improve symptoms and quality of life - and health.
