Carrie grew up all over the country as a dependent of the US Army, now claiming Florida as her home. She began training in various disciplines of martial arts since childhood, where she developed an interest in sports medicine. A lifetime of athletic endeavors and an appreciation for health and wellness naturally led her pursuing education in sports medicine at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge. There she was able to work within the more traditional allopathic approaches to sports injuries and rehabilitation while receiving her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology.
After working with collegiate athletes at LSU she realized there was a pressing need for a more comprehensive and holistic blend between the current approaches to sports medicine and more integrative ideologies. She wanted to see athletes preventing injuries, performing better, and achieving their goals with minimal surgical or pharmaceutical involvement. Through extensive clinical internships and research, Carrie discovered the benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the treatment of a myriad of conditions.
Carrie later continued her education in Austin, TX pursuing a career in therapeutic medicine at the Graduate School of Integrative Medicine (formerly AOMA) where she obtained her Masters in Oriental Medicine.
