Carla Evans - Nutrition, Pilates and Chiropractic Assistant

Carla’s passion for health and interest in the workings of the human body started as a young gymnast and dancer. These interests were further developed at Otago University, NZ where she completed her Dietetics and Sports Science degrees.

 

In 2003 Carla traveled overseas and it was in the UK that she found Pilates.  Having worked as a group fitness instructor for 6 years, Carla had seen too many examples of injuries as a result of either weak abdominals, poor exercise technique or imbalanced posture.  She was relieved to find Pilates – a form of exercise designed to improve the entire body by strengthening the postural muscles, increasing flexibility and developing core stability.

 

As well as being one of Health Align’s Pilates instructors, Carla works with clients by providing expert nutritional advice.  Carla is passionate about working with clients with a holistic nutritional approach to not only work towards optimal health, but to develop a positive life long relationship with food and nutrition.

 

Carla uses her vast experience and knowledge to work with people with a wide range of nutritional requirements and dietary limitations.  Carla’s strength lies in her passion for healthy living and her empathic approach to clients’ needs.
