Kiyoko has had the privilege to follow a winding path to OT and pelvic health. Starting out with a passion for music and theatre, they studied acting and musical theatre and performed at the college and professional levels. After a year in New York City, they followed the path back to the West Coast for a yoga teacher training. Through teaching yoga to all ages and bodies, their awareness of adaptive movement and the mind-body connection grew. Several post-bacc classes later, they started an OT program at Pacific University in Oregon. Kiyoko eventually obtained a clinical doctorate in Occupational Therapy and a Masters in Healthcare Administration.

Kiyoko is dedicated to the liberation and healing of all bodies, and supports clients from a trauma-informed perspective. She has taken several pelvic health education courses through Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute and The Functional Pelvis with Lindsey Vestal. Most recently, she completed the inaugural Trauma Informed Pelvic Health Practitioner Certification with Lindsey Vestal and Lara Desrosiers.

When not working with clients, Kiyoko enjoys meals shared with friends, watching a Thorns game, and blissfully unstructured time to rest.
