History
Dr. Carter has been practicing Acupuncture since 1987. Always active and interested in movement and dance since childhood, she was drawn to the practice of T'ai Chi--learning and mastering Yang Style T'ai Chi. It was her devotion to this ancient self-healing and martial art that led to her interest in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. Her fascination with science and love of healing later prompted her to study Chiropractic, Naturopathic and Functional Medicine, T'ai Chi and Chi Gong.
