Carla came to the Pilates method in 1993, whilst practicing as a very stressed Solicitor in Sydney. Over the years her hobby became a passion, and she attended workshops and training in the Pilates method. She joined the APMA in 1997 and in 2000 she facilitated the first meeting of the PAA in Sydney. She has undertaken multiple comprehensive certification courses in the Pilates method and is a Level 4 Professional Pilates Practitioner with the PAA. In 2001 Carla returned to Brisbane to establish her own Pilates studio. The studio has expanded from her one-person studio to incorporate a multidisciplinary centre working with a wide variety of clients. Body Organics Studios has been continually operating in Brisbane for over two decades. Carla has developed a wide range of training courses and resources working to support the development of Comprehensively Trained Pilates Teachers and providing detailed Continuing Education resources both online and in person on a variety of topics from repertoire to rehabilitation. Carla regularly contributes articles, has presented for Pilates Anytime, APMA, PAA and PMA conferences in Australia and the USA, and presented her many different workshops across the world.
