Hello

Hi, I’m Karla, an Accredited Practising Dietitian and Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician, and I’m passionate about supporting my clients to reclaim their health in a way that feels empowering, sustainable, and grounded in compassion. I take a trauma-informed, holistic approach, understanding that everyone’s journey with health is deeply personal and diverse.

​

My special area of interest is in digestive health, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), food intolerances, reflux, constipation & diarrhoea and conditions like endometriosis and adenomyosis. I also offer support to individuals navigating the intersection of digestive health and eating disorders or disordered eating.

 

My work integrates evidence-based nutrition, mental health, and a deep respect for your lived experiences, offering care that’s inclusive and non-judgemental. 

​

​

I have worked in adult mental health at the Royal Brisbane & Women's Hospital, general medicine at Caboolture Hospital and within the STARS (Surgical Treatment And Rehabilitation Service) dedicated gastroenterology clinic managing conditions such as IBS, GORD, constipation & diarrhoea, obstructive defecation, Eosinophilic Oesophagitis (EoE) and malnutrition.​
