Kento is amazing.
Working with him has completely changed the way I think about my body and the pain I was experiencing.
I never imagined that the very real pain I felt could actually be my body’s way of trying to protect me from getting re-injured. Before working with Kento, I assumed pain always meant something was physically wrong. Through his guidance, I learned how the nervous system and mind-body connection can play a huge role in chronic and recurring pain. It was a complete shift in perspective.
Instead of running from the pain or trying to make it disappear immediately, Kento taught me how to get curious about it—to slow down, breathe, and really listen to what my body was communicating. The same approach has helped me with anxiety as well. As I’ve learned to help my body feel safe, the pain has gradually decreased. It sounds almost like magic, but it’s actually grounded in solid science.
Kento’s depth of knowledge is incredible, but what makes him such a great practitioner is how he teaches you to trust your own body again. I feel so much more confident in what my body is capable of, and far less afraid of every ache or sensation. I also never realized how much stress and unconscious muscle tension were contributing to my recurring pain. Learning to notice those patterns—and respond to them with curiosity instead of fear—has been truly life-changing.
I never expected healing to come in the way it did, and I’m so grateful I found Kento. If you’re dealing with chronic pain, recurring injuries, or even stress and anxiety that seem connected to what’s happening in your body, I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Working with Kento is amazing. He gets right to the issue and has an incredible skill set to heal. It is such a breath of fresh air not to be in pain any more! I highly recommend working with him.
When I first started working with Kento, I had hit a wall in my physical well-being. I had been struggling with pain in my hamstring for years that had culminated in a tendon tear. I was unable to do the things that made me feel alive, hiking skiing, or indoor cardio workouts.
His approach with me was unique and incredibly effective, considering I live in Frisco, Colorado - so our interactions had to be virtual and through weekly engagements in the Everfit app. He had a strategy for strengthening my injured muscle muscles in a way that led to an unexpected restoration of my ability to do just the simplest every day activities. Within a month it became easier to...read full review
