BIM Support Team
Kelly Lux
Office Manager/Referral Coordinator
Our practice manager Kelly is passionate about integrative medicine and supporting the body with a holistic approach, so she's felt right at home here at BIM since 2021. Benton has played a huge roll in her health journey as a patient as well. She enjoys being in an environment where she is continually learning from the providers and our patient population. Kelly is always available for our patients' needs and unrolling the newest services Dr. Benton offers. Kelly and her husband recently became homeowners and love spending spare time playing with their golden retriever, Banks and hosting family and friends.
Abigail Schopen, CMA
Front Desk Administrator/Medical Assistant
Abigail is our wonderful front desk administrator and medical assistant. She graduated with her AAMA certification in 2017, began with us in 2018, and then took a break to go back to school in 2020. She returned to us after graduating (and marrying the love of her life) in 2023. On the weekends Abigail is a theatre tech and an award-winning film director, and she & her husband are expecting their first son this summer.
Rachael Casale
Phlebotomist/GAINSWave® Specialist
Rachael, is our resident phlebotomist and sexual health specialist. Earning her phlebotomy certification in 2022, Rachael came to Charlotte from Long Island in 2023. When not serving patients here or at the hospital, you'll catch Rachael making nutritious meals for her daughter and relaxing with her favorite TV shows.
Trish Miranda
Medical Receptionist / Patient Care Coordinator
After years of working in traditional health care, and dealing with multiple health issues that were ignored by her own doctor, Trish was led to Dr. Benton as a patient in 2017. Going through the functional medicine program, Trish's health improved dramatically, and her eyes were opened to the benefits of root-cause, multi-faceted, integrative treatment. Trish joined our practice this year, in 2024.
She enjoys building relationships with patients, sharing her personal success story, and being a part of other's healing journey. In her free time, you can find Trish spending time with her husband, children, grandchildren and friends. She enjoys outdoor activities such as the beach, hiking and anything to help her reach her step-goal. Hosting get-togethers with friends and family is also a favorite past time.
Jaime Showmaker
General Practice Manager / Life Coach
Jaime is a certified life coach whose desire is to support others to connect with and live authentically in their bodies. She became passionate about holistic health over a decade ago when she struggled with weight loss and metabolic issues. By learning to listen to her body and shifting the way she viewed her relationship to it, she lost 50 pounds and has maintained that weight loss for over eight years. After that success, she decided to study the impact of mindset and emotion on our bodies, earning her coaching certification in 2019. She has been supporting clients in private practice since 2021, and is excited to expand her offerings to the patients at Benton Integrative Medicine. She is also completing a somatic healing certification later this year, which will add another modality of support and expertise for BIM patients.
Jaime is available to support patients through coaching in all areas of holistic health, whether that be with sexual health, root cause issues, weight loss, or other physical goals. Her focus is on the entire patient journey, integrating the thoughts, emotions, and physical body so that the result is whole-person wellness for every patient.
When not helping people learn to love and understand their minds and bodies, Jaime usually has her nose in a classic book or is spending time being a busy mom to her three boys.
