Having the heart of a midwife lends to her compassion and desire to help people live empowered lives where they feel validated and safe.

Darlaine enjoys educating clients on all LIFE has to offer and helping them choose a treatment plan that aligns with their personal aesthetic journey. She finds that while some clients are looking for enhancement, many are seeking restoration or maintenance of their natural beauty to help maintain or improve confidence. Since opening LIFE in 2018, she has received extensive training through Allergan, Candela, Aesthetics Biomedical, Plasma MD, BTL Aesthetics, amongst others. In the ever-evolving field of aesthetics, she is constantly seeking opportunities to learn and further her education so she may offer her clients the best possible outcomes.

In her downtime, Darlaine enjoys spending time with her family, cooking, eating, reading, and traveling. She has three spectacular children and an incredibly supportive husband who all help propel her along her journey. They are the reason she continues to thrive.

Kerri Maher

Kerri Maher

Licensed Esthetician

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.
