Decode
Your body has been communicating the whole time.
This is how you learn to read it.
You’ve done the right things. You eat well, you move your body, you try to rest. And still – something isn’t landing the way it should.
The fatigue that doesn’t lift. The mood that shifts without warning. The feeling that your body is working against you when really, it’s been trying to get your attention.
Decode is where you finally start to understand what it’s saying.
Your body isn’t failing you.
Decode is a comprehensive personalised analysis of your minerals, stress response, and energy – using Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), your full health history, and optional blood work.
HTMA is a functional lab test that reveals what’s happening at the cellular level – your mineral patterns, your stress response, your metabolic rate, and the heavy metals your body may be carrying. It’s a picture most standard blood tests simply don’t show.
And it goes deeper than the physical. Your mineral patterns connect to emotional and lifestyle patterns too – and your analysis reflects all of it.
Combined with your health history and symptoms, it tells a story. And for most women, it’s the first time that story has made complete sense.
Your results aren’t delivered as a number on a page. You receive a detailed written analysis – personalised to you, written in plain language – alongside a recorded walkthrough as if we were on a call together, and a clear protocol to start supporting your body where it actually is.
“From working with Carla, I definitely feel so much more energetic, more alert, less joint pain, not so moody and down, a lot more relaxed and also sleeping better. To put it in a nutshell feeling more me! Just from a few life changes, supplements and guidance. I’m so grateful! Carla changes peoples lives! Also really educates people about the body and how it all works. So many things I didn’t even know was a thing until she explained to me.” – Amber
This is for you if:
You’ve been trying to figure out what’s going on in your body and keep hitting dead ends.
Your symptoms have been dismissed, or you’ve been told everything looks “normal” on standard tests.
You want to understand the why – not just be handed a supplement list.
You’re ready to stop guessing and start working with your body rather than against it.
“Carla has helped me so much with getting my health back on track. I came to her with issues such as endometriosis, exhaustion, digestion issues, stress, weak immunity, brittle hair plus much more. She identified the causes and I now have much more energy and high immunity, my hair is coming back again and I’m much happier and healthier. She is incredibly knowledgeable, caring and has been a huge support to me while I adjust my life and get my health back on track. She has been irreplaceable in my journey of healing. I would recommend her to anyone!” – Celeste
What’s Included
Health overview
Before we begin, you’ll complete a comprehensive health overview – your symptoms, history, and what you’ve already tried, plus an optional Food & Mood Diary. This is what allows me to truly personalise the analysis to you.
HTMA functional lab test
I’ve written a comprehensive blog about HTMA and how it may help you, which you may [view here].
Your hair sample is processed by Trace Elements. Once they receive it, results come back to me within 10–15 business days. I preschedule your analysis for the week I expect to receive them and get them to you within 7 days. If you’re intrigued about how much hair and how to take a sample [see instructions here].
Recorded analysis walkthrough
You receive a detailed written report plus a recorded walkthrough – personalised to you, in plain language, as if we were on a call together. No jargon. No overwhelm. Just clarity.
Optional blood work analysis
If you have recent blood work, I’ll analyse it alongside your HTMA to give a more complete picture of what’s happening in your body.
3–4 month mineral balancing protocol
A clear, prioritised protocol – food, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation – based on exactly what your results show. Designed to be realistic for your actual life.
Option to add a custom supplement formula – all your supplements in a drink.
Emotional and lifestyle reflection practices
Alongside your mineral protocol, you receive personalised reflection practices – connecting your biochemical patterns to the emotional and lifestyle layers that often sit underneath them. The minerals tell us what’s happening. These practices help you understand why.
Email support
If any questions come up or you need anything clarifying while you’re reading your results and begin settling into your protocol, simply email them to me. Whilst formal support is reserved for my Ignite and Radiate containers, you’re certainly not left to figure it out alone. I want you to get the most from your results.
3-week Check-in call
To review how your body is responding, troubleshoot anything you’re navigating, and make sure you’re supported in what comes next.
“After having my second daughter, I felt tired and depleted – no matter what I tried or how much sleep I got. Carla, with her guidance and sooooo much knowledge has been a key component in my return to feeling vitality and feeling inspired once again. Her holistic approach to healing and the tools she provides to encourage growth of our inner guidance connection was beautiful. I am reconnecting with myself and feeling the joy that comes with that!” – Jess

“Your body holds the wisdom. When you restore its resources and reconnect to your truth, energy becomes effortless.”
— Dr. Carla Atkinson
I know what it is to hate the woman looking back at you. To rage at the people you love most and not understand why. To do everything right on paper and still feel completely depleted underneath. To think – truly believe – that this is just who you are and it cannot change.
I also know what it is to find out that your body has been trying to talk to you the whole time. That the anger and the exhaustion and the low moods had a biochemical language – and once you learned to read it, everything started to make sense.
And I know that the minerals alone weren’t enough. Because the life that depleted the body in the first place had to change too. The thoughts that kept me small. The need for external validation. The way I was accidentally passing my pain onto my children without ever meaning to.
And I knew there was more. More possible. More of me available. So I kept going – and I keep going.
The layers reveal themselves as life does. I’m moving through it, reaching a hand back to help bring others along.
– Carla xx
Frequently asked questions
Not at all. Everything happens virtually – via Zoom and Telegram. HTMA testing is available in over 80 countries across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Europe, North and South America, and Asia.
Every woman’s picture is different, so results vary – but what most clients notice is a combination of physical and inner shifts happening together.
Physically: more stable energy, clearer thinking, better sleep, improved digestion, more balanced moods.
On a deeper level: more trust in themselves and their body’s signals, less overwhelm, clearer decisions, a growing sense of being present in their life rather than just managing it.
This work is designed to create changes that last – not temporary lifts that fade when the program ends.
It varies depending on what your results show – and I’ll always prioritise recommendations so you can scale up or down based on what feels realistic. Most clients spend around $100–$200 AUD per month during active phases. Not everything is ongoing – supplements support your body through a healing phase, not forever.
This work sits outside the standard medical model by design – it goes deeper than what insurance typically covers. Payment plans are available for Ignite and Radiate. Reach out if you’d like to discuss options.
