Carla Centola Verified Listing

Carla was born in the tri-cities of Vancouver and loves the outdoors and adventures that BC brings! She loves nature, which is plentiful where she calls home. Her journey to becoming a registered dietitian was influenced by growing up in a household where cooking at home was the norm. As a result, she started cooking at an early age and loved everything about it. She loved experimenting with recipes and ingredients (and still does!) and eventually, she found passion in figuring out how these different foods can help nourish our bodies. Carla graduated from the University of British Columbia in 2019 and has been busy since. She is working in a Fraser Health diabetes clinic in Maple Ridge, and also works for a non-for profit dental and medical organization in Surrey, that supports vulnerable women and children. She also supports clients through her own business, providing workshops, employee education sessions and one on one appointments.

As a member of Dietitians of Canada, she participates in various advocacy meetings. Carla loves doing community events such as group education sessions or cooking classes, which she tries to include regularly in her practices.

Working with Carla, you can help develop an understanding of your nutrition needs, or ways to prevent nutrient deficiencies. You can build a healthy relationship with food and your body, and encourage the choice of foods you enjoy while meeting your nutrient and digestive needs.

Why see a dietitian?

Carla can help you treat your current condition with the best possible outcomes. She can help with grocery shopping ideas and meal planning. She can assist with label reading so you know what nutrients you want to be mindful of. She can help you manage your blood sugars and energy levels, and sometimes this comes down to stress management or hormone changes. Our mental health can also impact our food choices, and vice versa. Speak with Carla today to figure out the connections.

Carla can also assist with teaching classes within your organization or company - reaching many people to provide nutrition education in group or corporate settings. This allows people to hear questions from each other, and come up with ideas they may not have thought about on their own.

You can send her a message to book a discovery call to see if you and her are the right fit to work together.
