Acupuncture Today Interviews Kerry Boyle About Practice Success
Kerry was interviewed by Bredna Duran, of Acupuncture Today, in June 2014. Below is an excerpt of her interview.
“When licensed acupuncturist Kerry Boyle Jenni was working aboard 30 cruise ships, she learned to navigate the world of patient care and was inspired to build a practice that would thrive on land.
The lessons overseas as a sales and revenue manager of acupuncture, managing all services and sales of acupuncture and herbs on board proved to be pivotal to her overall success in the years that followed when she began to build her practice from scratch. Today, Jenni owns and operates a private practice, an acupuncture clinic with three acupuncturists and two support staff in Vermont.”

Real Simple
Kerry is quoted by Real Simple magazine about work-life balance and tips for office wellness.
When you spend most of your day at work, you want to be as happy and focused as possible—which can be seriously difficult in a loud bullpen, distracting open-concept plan, stuffy cubicle, or ice-cold office. Couple less-than-ideal office environs with personal discomfort from, say, back pain, fatigue, or severe stress, and you’re sure to see dips in mood and productivity at work.
A recent workplace wellness study by Future Workplace and View found that working professionals value fancy perks like foosball tables and trendy snacks, far less than they value naturally bright, clean, and well-ventilated workspaces. Unfortunately not every office environment boasts great air and water quality, good lighting, plenty of windows, and comfortable temps for all.
But whatever the pitfalls of your particular office setup, take matters into your own hands to make your work space work for you. Here’s how to create a desk area that’s homey and healthy, so you can be your best self on the job.
