I know how it feels to endure jaw pain, head and neck tension, clenching and grinding, dental wear, gum recession, disrupted sleep, low energy, and the exhaustion that comes from mouth breathing or tongue restrictions. Myofunctional Therapy offers relief by retraining muscles and breath patterns at their source.

With more than 30 years as a Registered Dental Hygienist, I’ve witnessed these challenges firsthand and discovered that many traditional approaches only scratch the surface. My journey led me through multiple Myofunctional Therapy courses/ certifications; breath and appliance training; and continued education in orthodontics, oral ties, sleep, and other holistic healing topics. I have embraced Myofunctional Therapy—becoming a “detective” for uncovering muscle dysfunction, nervous-system imbalances, and airway issues that drive common dental and health complaints.

This work is about listening, observing, and guiding you toward lasting change. Drawing on training in airway and sleep science, facial development, orthodontics, TMJ care, posture, and holistic health, I collaborate with patients, families, and fellow providers to treat the whole person.

Think of Myofunctional Therapy like physical therapy for your face: with daily practice, you can reshape muscle habits, improve breathing, and restore restful sleep—no quick fixes or pills required.

Breathing powers life. Muscles shape form and function. Sleep repairs body and mind. These core essentials are at the heart of Myofunctional Therapy, and I’d love to support you or your child on the path to optimal wellness. Let’s take this journey together.

You deserve to bloom!
