Embarking on a journey powered by creativity, Kerri has carved a unique path through dance, innovation, and advocacy, transforming ADHD from a perceived obstacle into a dynamic force for empowerment. Her journey has equipped her with the credentials of a licensed Mental Health Counselor, Dance Movement Therapist, and Dance Educator, complemented by her experiences as a dancer and yoga therapy practitioner.

 

Driven by a passion for fostering personal growth and healing, Kerri established the Create Balance Healing Arts Collective, a sanctuary for women's empowerment and holistic wellness. This initiative reflects Kerri’s commitment to creating a nurturing environment where women can embark on their own unique journeys of self-discovery and healing. It serves as a sanctuary for empowerment, inspiration, and the pursuit of creativity, feminism, and personal expression.

​

Having grown up with a mother disabled by a devastating accident, Kerri developed deep empathy for those who feel silenced. Through dance and a supportive community, she found a meaningful outlet for her voice. Despite skepticism and underestimations due to her unconventional approaches and previously undiagnosed ADHD, she achieved significant academic and personal successes, including being the first in her family to earn both undergraduate and graduate degrees, and later a professional license.  

​

As a founding member of a local psychiatric hospital’s Healing Arts Program, Kerri blends healing arts with clinical practices, committed to enhancing the influence and accessibility of healing through creativity, empowerment, and movement. Through the Create Balance Healing Arts Collective, she is determined to create an environment where voices, especially those that have been suppressed, are heard, celebrated, and healed.
