Meet Carla Lawrence, owner and founder of Carla Lawrence Dietitian – Wholistic nutrition. Carla is a registered dietitian based in Pinelands and Monte Vista. Her love of food inspired her to become a dietitian.
Carla completed her dietetics degree at the University of the Western Cape. She has since worked at various government hospitals in their dietetics departments as well as in the food service industry. Working in the hospitals exposed her to diabetes, hypertension, tube feeding, paediatrics, malnutrition, working in the stroke unit and food service.
Because of this, she has special interest in, but not limited to, weight management, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and the link between sleep disorders and nutrition. Her aim is to not only assist clients in a holistic manner, but to make clients fall in love with food and make better food choices.
She believes that a healthy lifestyle can be attained once people are educated and given the right tools that are realistic, affordable, sustainable and accessible.
Carla runs a 6-week programme with both in-person and online accountability meetings. She has such a heart for helping others – whether it is to lose weight or manage their diabetes and hypertension. I highly recommend you sign-up for her next 6-week programme which launches on the 20th May. She also sells magnetic meal planners to help with the pre-planning as well as snack packs for on-the-go eating.
Follow her on social media for eating tips, fantastic healthy recipe ideas and just how to manage a healthy active lifestyle.
