Hey, I'm Casey
Guide · Explorer · Breathwork Teacher · DJ & ProducerI guide people through the RISE Method — a nervous system training practice built around breathwork, movement, meditation, and music.
I'm also a DJ and producer performing as Kase One — at yoga festivals, cacao ceremonies, ecstatic dance gatherings, and underground spaces.
Those two things aren't separate. They're the same work through different doors.
Music was one of the first things that showed me what a regulated nervous system actually feels like. The right rhythm, the right frequency — and something in the body shifts. Everything I teach in the RISE Method is built on that same principle.
Why I started exploring
A few years ago I was running hard — driven, always pushing — and I'd stopped noticing what that was doing to me.
Then one morning, driving to work, my chest tightened. My breathing went shallow. My arm went numb.
I pulled over. And something became clear:
The way I was living wasn't working.
So I started exploring. Breathwork, meditation, movement, music, somatic practices, ceremony. I tried everything and paid attention to what actually worked.
Music isn't separate from the work.It is the work.
I've been a DJ and producer for several year. Playing rooms — from underground clubs to sacred ceremony spaces — taught me something I couldn't learn from a textbook:
When the rhythm is right, the nervous system follows. Before the mind decides anything, the body shifts. Something regulates.
That's the same mechanism at the heart of the RISE Method.
Music is one of the three channels — alongside breath and movement — through which the nervous system can be reached. It's the fastest, because it works without technique. You just listen.
I bring music into everything I teach. It's not background. It's part of the practice. Wherever I play, I'm doing the same thing I do when I teach:
Using rhythm to help people rise.
How I think about this work.
Explorer, not expert
I've always resonated more with that word. An expert has arrived. An explorer is still going. The practices I teach — I explore them every single day. They continue to surprise me. My role is to walk alongside you on a path I know well, and light the way.The hero's journey is real
You're not broken and trying to get fixed. You're a hero answering a call to something greater. The RISE Method is that journey made embodied and practical — Root, Ignite, Surrender, Emerge. I've walked it. I've watched others walk it. It changes things that information alone never reaches.Stress is not the enemy
The real skill is building the capacity to meet pressure without breaking. That capacity is trained, not inherited. And the training changes everything about how you move through the world.RISE — 22 Days

If something here is pulling at you...That pull is worth paying attention to.
The free RISE Masterclass is the best place to start — it teaches the full framework and gives you a taste of all three practices before you commit to anything.
Wherever you begin, I'm glad you're here.
Keep exploring.
