Dr. Priscilla Kerr is a Brazilian physician and licensed Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) doctor, specializing in acupuncture. After relocating to Canada, she pursued her passion for holistic health and wellness, blending her medical background with alternative therapies.

Dr. Kerr spent five years and over 5140 hours training as a TCM doctor and medical acupuncturist within the prestigious Orthopedics Department of the University of São Paulo, School of Medicine. As the highest-ranked university in South America according to The Times Higher Education (THE) in 2023, the University of São Paulo provided her with a solid foundation in both Western and Eastern medical practices.

In 2005, Dr. Kerr expanded her knowledge by training in Taiwan, where she studied under some of the best TCM professors from Taipei and Beijing. During this 5 years residency, she gained certifications in Pain Management and Fertility TCM, and she later applied these skills while working with several private and public fertility clinics in São Paulo, Brazil.

Her leadership in the field extends beyond her clinical work. Dr. Kerr served as the spokesperson and External Relations Board Director for the CMAAC and the Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Association of Manitoba (CMAAC) for 15 years. She played a pivotal role in advocating for TCM practitioners during the COVID-19 pandemic, successfully lobbying the Health Minister and government officials to have acupuncture recognized as an essential service. Her efforts allowed practitioners to reopen safely, providing guidance on health and safety protocols to all members in Manitoba since 2019.

For over a decade, Dr. Kerr has volunteered to represent and defend the rights of thousands of TCM practitioners across Canada, particularly in Manitoba. Her dream of having acupuncture officially recognized as a healthcare profession in Canada has been a driving force in her career.

In pursuit of this dream, Dr. Kerr founded Priscilla Kerr Wellness Ltd., a holistic wellness center that opened its doors on April 1, 2025. The wellness center offers a wide range of holistic care services, helping individuals achieve better health and balance in their lives.

Although Dr. Kerr is not licensed as a physician in Manitoba or Canada, she is a licensed TCM doctor and registered acupuncturist. For 16 years, she worked at Manitoba Clinic before transitioning for 2 years at the Acupuncture College of Manitoba until she had a chance to create her own space, a wellness center in the Whyte Ridge area of Waverly West District at 103 Scurfield Boulevard, Unit A, offering a welcoming environment for those seeking healing and holistic care.

Dr. Kerr is committed to empowering others to take control of their health and well-being, integrating the best of Western and Eastern medicine to offer comprehensive, patient-centered care.

Hello, my name is Wei (Wayne) Zou, R.Ac., and I’m very excited to join the team at Priscilla Kerr Wellness Ltd. I’m originally from China, where I trained and worked as a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner specializing in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, particularly for treating pain and other chronic, hard-to-treat conditions. I completed my postgraduate studies at Norman Bethune Medical University in 2008, and later worked at Beijing Royal Integrative Medicine Hospital, where I gained valuable experience in combining modern and traditional healing approaches. Since moving to Canada in 2017, I have continued to practice acupuncture and TCM, and I feel truly fulfilled helping people find relief from pain and discomfort that affect their daily lives. I believe that every patient deserves a personalized and compassionate approach to healing, and I’m committed to supporting each person’s journey toward better health. Outside of work, I enjoy jogging, boating, and playing badminton—activities that keep me active and balanced. I look forward to meeting you and being part of your wellness journey here at Priscilla Kerr Wellness!
