When Carla had aspirations of quitting her corporate job, she had interest in health and wellness and wanted to own her own salon doing therapeutic treatments.  At the end of 2001, she came across an Indian Head Massage course and eagerly learned this ancient therapeutic technique.

Over the next few years, she worked at corporate companies giving treatments to staff members and also arranging corporate wellness days where she and her team, therapists she herself trained, would do hundreds of treatments.

She continue her studies and later qualified as a Therapeutic Reflexologist and also completed other therapeutic beauty and massage courses.  She eventually left corporate massaging, handing over her corporate clients to the masseuses on her team, to run her own private salon.

Alongside working in the massage industry, she studied to become and Iyengar Yoga Teacher and now teaches Yoga full time.
