About Kerry
An experienced Pet Loss Support Facilitator, Reiki Master/Teacher, and Small Animal Acupressure Practitioner, I am committed to helping people and pets find greater wellbeing and balance through holistic modalities.
​
My journey as a Pet Loss Support Facilitator and Reiki Practitioner began after experiencing the loss of my own heart dog, Georgia, to cancer in 2006 at only 5 years old. Georgia's year-long battle with cancer prompted a deep dive into holistic health and wellness for both people and pets that has become an ongoing passion. In 2021, after completing the Tallgrass Animal Acupressure training program, I became nationally board certified in Small Animal Acupressue through NBCAAM.
​
I am a lifelong student of spirituality and holistic health with a BA Degree in World Religions and a Certificate in Holistic Care for Companion Animals from Clayton College of Natural Health. I am also certified in Canine Massage and have completed Continuing Education in Meditation, Flower Essences, TTouch, Aromatherapy, Western Herbal Therapy and Tui Na Massage. I bring all of this training to each of my patients to customize my approach and support them in a way that best fits their needs.
​
I currently work in the veterinary field at a small animal practice and am a Certified Pet-Loss Grief Recovery Specialist through the American Academy of Grief Counseling. I have also been trained through the Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement and have 15 years of experience facilitating online pet loss groups. I have completed multiple training programs in Animal Hospice and Palliative care and am Human-Animal Bond Certified through NAVTA. ​
​
I feel especially privileged to be able to work with pet parents who are navigating chronic illness or end-of-life decisions with their pets and to support them after the loss of a beloved animal family member. My goal is to help them fully honor the bond they share and to find their way through grief toward healing. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to witness how even the most profound grief or traumatic loss can be survived and transformed into healing through the power of compassionate support and understanding.
​
While I'm located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin I enjoy working with people from around the country. I especially loves connecting with other pet parents who love their pets as much as I adore my English Bulldogs, Duncan, Bruno & Wanda. Thank you for visiting Soulpet Healing & Hospice and please let me know how I can support you in your journey!
