​
For over 30 years, I have dedicated myself to helping patients with their overall dental health as a Registered Dental Hygienist. Although I am retired and I no longer practice clinical dental hygiene, I spent 24 years working for the same family dental practice, treating patients as young children and watched as they grew into adults and had children of their own.
​
Over those years, I witnessed many of my patients with orthodontic relapse, TMJ pain and snoring/sleep apnea issues. To which I started to question WHY? Then it became personal. I noticed my own husband starting to breath differently, with a bit more difficulty, which caused me to dive deeper into how to help him before he needed to be on a CPAP. This started my process of learning about Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy. I have since become certified in OMT, Buteyko Breathing and am a Myo Munchee Ambassador along with becoming a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist.
​
My approach includes utilizing several different dental/medical specialists and other professionals to help individuals out. I also have training in Buteyko Breathing, which I incorporate into the client programing if needed.
This is not a one size fits all program as every client presents their own unique challenges and complaints. Each individual will be evaluated and screened to provide the necessary course of treatment, together working toward the most optimum outcome.
