Testimonials, Straight from the Tongue

By restoring your body's natural blueprint from your tongue to your toes I find the hidden limitations to effortless progress.

Through both virtual coaching on movement, massage, nutrition, and mindfulness as well as in-person I blend ancient mind-body practices with modern scientific study of biomechanics, airway function, and touch.

But don't take my word for it, below are some of my clients'!

Hi, I'm Kai! I specialize in intra-oral massage, vocal work, and tongue focused whole body wellness.

After years of playing chasing solutions and managing symptoms, I liberated my health through uncommon approaches to mobility, breath, and vocal work.

In my practice as I share these insights through the lens of play and self expression.

Today I'm educating as many as I can to help performers and people like you liberate themselves from pain, fatigue, TMJD, sleep apnea, and vocal limitation.

I'm excited for you to join me on this journey of being the change I needed, and wish to see, in healthcare.

  • The answers for my chronic pain came from being diagnosed with a common connective tissue disorder and a tongue tie. I have struggled through constant, limiting pain that over the years has affected almost every joint on my body. That paired with fatigue often kept me from wanting to do anything, wondering whether I would ever feel normal again. Through my own treatment and now treating clients, I have learned how to apply movement and massage techniques from the head to shoulders, knees, and toes that restore not only mobility but hope!

  • The years I spent struggling with pain in my neck, shoulder, and jaw was, I discovered, connected to tongue dysfunction and my ability to sing and speak clearly. Applying this tongue and voice perspective when treating clients has been key to resolving jaw, neck, and shoulder pain. 

  • By training my tongue I cured my chronic sleep disorders and I've overcome sleep apnea through 30 minutes of vocal practice or playing didgeridoo. In just one month of applying a few key corrections to my vocal work, I stopped needing my appliances to get quality sleep. Mastering our breath and airway is foundational to not only athletic and artistic performance but to living life to the fullest.

  •  Healing my digestion, including diagnosed bacterial overgrowth, was key to the full resolution of my chronic fatigue and inflammation. I remember a few days into balancing my microbiome waking up with a smile on my face and a sense of energy I hadn't felt in years.

    I look forward to becoming a Naturopathic Doctor and helping clients even more holistically. For now I share the systems I've built to bring fun and joy to nutrition and digestion regulating movement while living with more intention.

  • After years of stretching trying to relieve my low back, hip, and leg pain, I finally achieved meaningful and immediate progress from strengthening my pelvic floor. After two weeks I unlocked my middle splits after five years of stretching made no progress.


    Deeply connected with the tongue and airway, the pelvic floor is a keystone of wellness. And a sensitive subject, especially for massage therapists. Through non-invasive self care and exercise I help restore strength and resilience at the root.

  • Spend months waiting between healthcare appointments? Bouncing between specialists and repeating the same conversation for sometimes years on end? I have.

    Often for answers that amounted to we can't confirm that you even have an issue or we can only confidently confirm that you have symptoms. Maybe a lifelong prescription and telling me I must be the problem when treatment doesn't work. You are not the problem. 


    I help my clients navigate the constant maze of healthcare systems and bring them practical everyday applications of modern science.
