Charlotte graduated from St Mary’s University in 1999 with an honours degree in Sport Rehabilitation/Sport Science then successfully ran a sports injury clinic for four years. During this time, due to many of her clients complaining of posture related problems stemming from work, Charlotte developed an interest in how different treatments could be of benefit in the work place. She has been practising on site massage for commercial organisations for over 7 years and in 2003 she established the On Site Massage Co and using her clinical knowledge and experience in the field has co developed the training programme for the On Site Massage Training Institute with Karl Monahan. Throughout university and beyond, Charlotte spent over 7 years developing her teaching ability as a kickboxing instructor teaching both children and adults to black belt level.

Charlotte still has a keen interest in martial arts and fitness and is happy spending much of her spare time at the gym. She also loves watching movies, seeing live music and shows and walking her dog, even in the rain.
