Kalei Herbert

Massage Therapist

Genuine and unassuming, Kalei Herbert is all smiles as she welcomes her patients into their massage sessions. 

The newest member of the Sonatix Wellness team, Kalei brings with her over three years of experience as a licensed massage therapist—and a long list of dedicated patients. Those who have had the privilege of sitting alone in a session with Kalei have felt the safety and comfort of her bright energy and infectious smile. She comes highly recommended! 

Kalei is no stranger to the therapeutic elements of massage, having experienced the benefits of massage’s whole-body healing. In 2020, Kalei graduated from the 900-hour massage program at Healing Mountain Massage School and was skilled in Swedish (relaxing), deep tissue, trigger point, cupping, and trauma massage. Eastern and ancient practices intrigue her, and she has expanded her education with courses in Thai massage, Ashiatsu, and parasympathetic reset. 

Although Kalei was born and raised in Provo, Utah, her heritage extends far beyond this landlocked state. Her ancestors hail from the Philippines and Hawaiian royalty, examples of those who sacrificed much to keep their American dreams alive. And royal she is, as Kalei winds her heritage into her massage practice, carrying on the healing practice of an ancient form of deep tissue Hawaiian massage known as Lomi Lomi. It’s a privilege for her to carry on that healing practice.

She is a gentle but fiery soul—it must be the royalty in her bloodline. Without hesitation, she’ll remind you of your royalty, too.

Part of her desire to become a massage therapist comes from her desire to help people in recovery and pain know the beauty of a healthy, healing touch and to help the physical body process trauma. She wants to help her patients feel relief from sore muscles and injuries, increasing their flexibility and mental clarity while improving circulation and relaxation. She advises patients to be open-minded and to allow themselves to feel the emotions of connection and holistic healing through massage. Ever the observer, she reads her patients carefully, taking their energy and spirit and bringing them to life through healthy, healing touch. 

While she takes her massage practice seriously, she’s notably a spry, silly creature who enjoys being the mom to her four kids: Ke’alohi (26), Kolya (24), Nakoa (22), and Hanale (15). She embraces the joy of living, frequently breaking into made-up songs and soft-shoeing her way through her day. Family is life, she says, and she loves to travel, play games, and spend time with her family. She’s a sucker for pizza and Vanilla Coke on a Friday night, but the real way to her heart is a visit to the quintessential Provo Bombay House for her favorite Indian cuisine (always a winner). In a bakery stick-up, though, she’d rob you blind for a maple doughnut or plain cheesecake with strawberries. Watch out for this cheesecake bandit.

Kalei radiates joy and respect and, as she connects to her clients, reminds them to listen to their bodies for whole-body wellness. The impact of physical pain often stems from sources unknown—and Kalei’s intricate knowledge of body systems helps her find the origin of physical discomfort. Kalei works readily to relieve the physical body of pain while, in synchrony, helping to heal her patients of the excess emotional weight trapped inside their somatic selves. Bodies will quite literally carry the weight of fears, burdens, grief, and pain, and Kalei seeks to connect with her patients to help release the negative energy that burdens them.
