A native Chicagoan and graduate of Northwestern University (B.S. – Radio-TV-Film) and U.C.L.A.’s Anderson Graduate School of Management (M.B.A.), Charlie also sowed seeds in Hollywood – directing two feature films, and serving in various executive capacities in Marketing, Development and Original Programming.

A proud wife and mother of two sons, Charlie is on a spirit led mission to bring her multi-faceted expertise, creativity and passion to take the weight off of weight loss and ignite the power of transformational change in the lives of those she touches
