Kerri has been a licensed esthetician for over 30 years.  She first fell in love with aesthetics after suffering as a teenager with embarrassing acne which led to those awful emotions of not feeling comfortable in her own skin.  Following two rounds of Accutane, she began receiving monthly facials and that is when she knew she had found her calling.  She enjoys treating all types of skin issues and has a special place in her heart for adolescents.  She believes in the healing power of touch.  Naturally, she likes to help people look their best, but most importantly she loves to help people feel their best.

Kerri graduated from Elizabeth Grady School of Esthetics in 1991 and has been practicing ever since.  She also holds a medical assisting certification from North Shore Community College.  Her extensive skills have been applied and mastered in several different settings.  After spending 20 years working at Elizabeth Grady, she went on to start an esthetic practice within a dermatology practice allowing her the opportunity to be trained by some of the most talented dermatology clinicians in Massachusetts.  Following the pandemic, Kerri felt it was time to open her own business.  Since 2020, she has been operating K. Maher Esthetics in Wakefield, MA.

Lucky for LIFE…Kerri and her husband have purchased a home in Meredith!  She will be offering her extensive expertise at LIFE on Thursdays and Friday’s.
