Hi, I’m Carla one of our Exercise Physiologists here at FNQ Health and Fitness.

I studied the 4 year Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology degree at James Cook Uni in both the Cairns and Townsville campuses, graduating in 2015. From university, I was offered a position in a physiotherapy clinic working alongside some very talented physiotherapists. I believe this flourished my passion for musculoskeletal exercise prescription as I am particularly interested in pre and post-surgery rehabilitation programs. Since having my boys, I am very passionate about Women’s health and the return to exercise post-partum. In addition, I love putting my love for Pilates to work to assist clients with their pain or condition and guiding them to improve their strength and movement patterns to live a quality life.

When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two sons as well as our extended families. I love to lead an active life through regular exercise, playing weekend hockey, and going for walks/ bike rides with my little family and to encourage our boys to do the same.

I think being an Exercise Physiologist is one of the most rewarding jobs as we have an opportunity to guide and support people to be healthy using the best medicine on the market – EXERCISE!
