“I am passionate about changing Australia’s Chronic Disease Crisis. With 1 in 5 Australians being affected by not just one but multiple chronic diseases. Chronic diseases are long lasting, have persistent effects, effecting personal circumstances, quality of life and broader social and economic effects. Chronic diseases are the leading cause of illness, disability and death in Australia, accounting for 90% of all deaths in 2011 and sadly the stats are most likely even higher now!” says Carla.
Carla is a mother of two and is a passionate local, she loves exploring the Mornington Peninsula especially walks on Merricks Beach and visiting Mornington and Mt Martha’s cafes. Carla loves spending time with family and friends, traveling to places with palm trees and sunshine. Carla and her husband Andrew love working together to grow and develop Peninsula Herbal Dispensary & Naturopathic since they became the owners in January 2015 – they dream big!
