Charli grew up on Bainbridge Island, just across the water from Seattle, Washington. Her love for athletics and the outdoors began when she was young, running cross country through the winding trails around Gazzam Lake. She studied visual art and Japan Studies at the University of Washington and came to health and wellness later in life, after more than 2 decades in the restaurant industry.
She’s lived in Vienna (briefly), Osaka (less briefly), and Seattle (not briefly). She keeps a happily active schedule, enjoys traveling whenever she can, and is always up for a nerdy anatomy discussion.
