My name is Carla Lawrence I have been a dietitian since 2007. 

I did my community service at Lentegeur Hospital after which I worked at a catering company. I then got a position at Khayelitsha District Hospital. I was the first dietitian at this facility and along with assisting clients I commissioned the nutrition services in the facility. I then moved to Tygerberg Hospital. 

In my experience at these facilities I assisted clients with supplement feeding, enteral feeding and dietary counselling. I assisted with policy making and implementation. I assisted in the Food Service department as well.

My goal as a dietitian is to deliver updated scientifically proven information to clients that they can apply to their daily lives to achieve their health goals. My approach to health is a wholistic one and I endeavour to encourage clients to follow this approach in achieving their health goals.
