Our Healers
Nicole Palermo
A healer since 6-years old, Nicole opened Sanctuary in 2022 in response to the overwhelming feeling of sadness and grief she encountered meeting individuals post-pandemic. And since leaving the corporate world in 2021, She focuses full-time on healing the collective mind, body and soul. Individual intuitive sessions at the brick and mortar retail space located at Ocean Place in Hull, provide a brave and safe space to heal from the Big T(rauma) and Little T(rauma) through yoga, movement, mindfulness, breath-work, Reiki, aromatherapy, and as intuitively guided. The proceeds from these individual & group sessions, combined with retail sales, help support community outreach for holistic healing in less accessible and highly necessary demographics, populations, and regions. Ultimately- the goal is to help YOU come back to yourself; to heal, provide you tools to help heal yourself, and in turn, help YOU heal others!! Let’s vibe higher, together!!

Kerry Maher-Hnath
Kerry is passionate about all things wellness. As a registered dietitian, she specializes in personalized nutrition—because when it comes to health, there’s no such thing as “one size fits all.” Drawing on the wisdom of Ayurveda, she creates tailored nutrition and lifestyle programs that honor each individual’s unique body type, needs, and the rhythms of the seasons.
After becoming a registered dietitian, Kerry quickly grew disillusioned with our healthcare system—and its lack of focus on true health care. This realization sparked a deep personal journey into holistic healing. Along the way, she discovered the profound benefits of meditation, yoga, qi gong, tai chi, tong ren, reiki, acupuncture, and energy work.
Through these practices, Kerry healed herself of depression and digestive issues—conditions that are highly interconnected. This transformation further fueled her passion for helping others do the same.
Kerry’s approach is highly individualized. She works with each person to uncover what truly supports their well-being—whether that’s specific foods, mindfulness practices, gentle movement, or supplements. She believes in a collaborative, integrative model of care and often partners with or refers to other practitioners when appropriate.
Her mission is simple yet powerful: to help each person find their own path to balance, vitality, and lasting wellness.
