About Carla-Jo
Growing up in a sporting household, Carla-Jo has always been passionate about sport and activity. Needing to work hard to keep up with her older siblings, she found a drive to do her absolute best in all that she does. Playing 10 years of Tennis, 13 years of Soccer and in her 2nd year of indoor rock climbing, Carla-Jo knows that 100% effort is the key to not only individual success but also in team work.
Having a passion for sport and exercise, Carla-Jo studied a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science at the University of Sydney, and has worked in Sport Science Research in a Youth Elite Athlete Study.
After a taste of travelling the world, Carla-Jo returned home to generate her knowledge into more hands-on format. Returning to her studies, she completed a Diploma of Remedial Massage at Meadowbank Tafe NSW, and has over 1 year clinical experience.
Carla-Jo has since worked with the Australian Rugby Schoolboys and the A-League’s Brisbane Roar first grade team outside of clinic.
With a passion for holistic health and rehabilitation, Carla-Jo believes that massage is not only beneficial for the body but for the mind. She puts her full focus into listening to the needs of each individual’s body and exceeding the expectation of the individual themselves.
She truly believes that the benefits of massage are not only evident in physical and mental wellbeing, but in an overall healthy lifestyle.
