Meet Kay — Dentist, Yoga Teacher & Holistic Health Writer
I’m Kay, a practicing dentist and certified Hatha yoga teacher, and the founder of theSweetSmile — a blog exploring the connection between holistic dental health, yoga, and mindful living.
Growing up, I absorbed the idea that success meant a respected title and a strong income. Dentistry gave me that — the ability to ease pain and heal real conditions — but it also pushed me into burnout early in my career, because I hadn’t yet learned to see healing as something broader than clinical skill. I traveled to make sense of what my work truly meant to me, and that’s when yoga found me and became the anchor of my life.
Curiosity has brought me to my first Hatha yoga teacher training. It affirms me that yoga is the right path to seek my life purpose. More importantly, it answered my all my doubts about the relationship between our body, mind and spirit. Yoga beautifully integrates ancient philosophy with modern neuroscience, demonstrating the true healing originates within. Bliss resides within each of us.
The story didn’t stop there. As yoga became part of how I practiced dentistry, I made another major decision: leaving my home city, Hong Kong, for the UK. It took a few years to rebuild my footing as a dentist on this new island, but that process reaffirmed why I do this — to share mindful living and holistic wellbeing, so we can heal and empower ourselves more fully.
