Top Notch Resort and Spa is proud to present our resident acupuncturist: Kerry has been drawn to health care since an early age when her intentions laid within western medicine and a future as a Medical Doctor was her goal. But after pre-med undergraduate studies, Kerry witnessed the benefits of alternative medicine, with its holistic view of the body and minimal side effects, and decided to pursue a degree in complementary medicine. A Northeast native, Kerry first left Vermont to pursue natural health care almost a decade ago in order to complete her graduate degree at the renowned Bastyr University in Seattle, WA. During her four-year post graduate work in Acupuncture, Kerry achieved her massage therapy license, and began to utilize acupressure, shiatsu, and deep tissue massage for relaxation at the Oriental Medical Clinic in Seattle. Her specialty areas in cranio-sacral therapy allowed her to focus on treatments of chronic headaches, migraines, rhinitis and sinusitis. After completion of a Masters of Science in Acupuncture, Kerry achieved state licensure for acupuncture in WA and VT as well as national licensure by the professional organization, National Council and Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). Kerry stayed in Seattle after graduation and began a successful private practice, On Point Acupuncture, where she treated general pain conditions in an integrated healthcare setting, and coupled her time with the implementation of acupuncture into a community clinic, Alternate Current, a free clinic for chronic pain patients. Acupuncture is helpful for treating addictions, and Kerry pursued additional work in this area after being awarded a grant to study at Lincoln Hospital’s Rehabilitation Center, in the Bronx, NY. This rotation provided Kerry with additional certification as an Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist, in accordance with the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA). She now utilizes these techniques to decrease cravings for nicotine during smoking cessation and cravings for sugars and carbohydrates for weight management. Kerry’s professional career has allowed her to pursue her passion for acupuncture with her love for travel. In 2004, Kerry completed internships in London, UK utilizing acupuncture in Portland Hospital for pain management during labor and delivery and treating fertility in specialty adjunct clinics. Kerry joined Celebrity Cruise Lines later in 2004 as a practicing acupuncturist, where she provided seminars to the cruising public about Acupuncture, Feng Shui, nutrition, and Chinese herbs, as well as administered treatments for weight management, pain relief, stress reduction, and the popular Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation to diminish fine lines on the face. Kerry’s passion for spreading acupuncture to a world wide audience propelled her into corporate management of the Acupuncture department for over 40 cruise ships. Her supervision and training of acupuncturists for one of the world’s leading international spa corporations, Steiner Leisure, allowed Acupuncture to be a permanent fixture on board ships world wide.
