Redwood Acupuncture

If you’ve had an acupuncture treatment at Redwood with Dr. Nicole or Dr. Kerry, you might wonder why we palpate your abdomen during treatment.

So here’s why:

Abdominal palpation offers us real-time feedback on what’s happening in your body.

We utilize a combination of Saam acupuncture and Kiiko Matsumoto style acupuncture to assess and treat each patient, these styles allow us to confirm our diagnosis in the room.

Abdominal reflex zones offer more objective feedback, support faster clinical decisions and help us tailor each treatment to you and your needs.

Continuing our Redwood team reintroductions, meet Kerry!

Kerry is a Doctor of Acupuncture who loves supporting patients with mental health and trauma, pain and musculoskeletal concerns, fertility, hormone balance, and digestion.

Her approach is trauma informed and patient centred. She takes the time to really listen and creates a space where you can feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely understood.

Before acupuncture, Kerry spent 10 years in corporate Calgary. Like many, burnout and stress led her to acupuncture and TCM, and it completely changed her path. Having been on the patient side herself, including navigating chronic health and mental health challenges, she brings a deep level of empathy and understanding to her care.

Outside the clinic, you will find her in nature, at the gym, reading, or at a metal show

Kerry is currently accepting new patients and would love to support you with care that actually feels personalized.
