- Certified Detox Specialist, Standard Process
This is a career of the heart for Charlotte. Becoming a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine was a winding road for Charlotte who first worked as a local and state government consultant and paralegal for an Austin law firm, McGinnis, Lochridge and Kilgore. While working with attorneys, Charlotte completed her bachelors degree with the University of Texas in Photojournalism -- writing and photographing for the "Tejas," a publication addressing minority issues. She taught photography in an after school enrichment program at Zavala Elementary, and also exhibited her own photographs in Austin. After graduating from UT, Charlotte pursued help for allergies and asthma that had troubled her since childhood. Impressed by the quick and positive healing she had to these treatments she began to independently study Traditional Chinese Medicine, then attended AOMA School of Integrative Medicine where she graduated with a Master's of Science in Oriental Medicine in 2002. This journey returned Charlotte to a lifetime passion for healing which had been a part of her since childhood, often rushing to the aid of an injured friend or family member with a caring touch and a plant poultice or home cooked remedy.
Charlotte utilizes all aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine, including acupuncture, acupressure, and Chinese herbal medicine. Her passion is working with pediatrics, women's health and fertility.
