A New Chapter After 18 Years of Dedication
I am a physician from São Paulo, Brazil, with a deep-rooted passion for integrative medicine. After completing my Family Practice program, I pursued a residency in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). My strong foundation in Psychosomatic Medicine, which I dedicated four years to studying and practicing since medical school, naturally led me to explore TCM. I was drawn to its holistic approach, which aligns with my belief in understanding the underlying causes of diseases rather than merely treating symptoms. I undertook a five-year residency in TCM at the University of São Paulo, School of Medicine. During this time, I worked in the Pain Clinic and Orthopedic Department as a volunteer teacher, where I received specialized training as a pain specialist. Later, I had the opportunity to collaborate with fertility clinics, integrating acupuncture into treatment protocols. This experience deepened my expertise, and I became a recognized Fertility Specialist. Throughout my career, I have been an advocate for the advancement of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Canada. I served on the Board of Directors for the Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Association of Canada (CMAAC) for several years, representing TCM practitioners nationwide. Additionally, I dedicated 15 years to our provincial chapter, ensuring the growth and recognition of our profession. Established in 1987, CMAAC is a member society of the World Federation of Acupuncture-Moxibustion Societies (WFAS), the only international acupuncture organization recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO). After 16 years of practice at Manitoba Clinic and two years at 1112 Notre Dame Ave. inside the ACM building, I have made the decision to step out on my own. This transition allows me to fully embrace my leadership skills and establish something truly meaningful—a holistic, integrative wellness center where professionals from various disciplines collaborate seamlessly to enhance patient care. For more than 18 years at Prairie Acupuncture Clinic, I have been privileged to provide over 27,000 treatments and assist in bringing 962 babies into the world for parents who once struggled with infertility. Now, it is time to expand this impact by creating a true integrative wellness center where healthcare professionals work together under one roof. With this transition, Prairie Acupuncture Clinic will no longer operate under its previous name. My sole proprietorship is being acquired by the newly incorporated Priscilla Kerr Wellness, Ltd., and we have all the necessary legal documents to move forward.
