My Story

While completing my training as a myofunctional therapist I identified my own tongue-tie and orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMD’s) that were never diagnosed by other practitioners.

As a teen, I went through retractive orthodontics and wisdom teeth extraction. As an adult, I needed treatment for TMJ disorder, and suffered from neck and shoulder pain, headaches, poor sleep, and digestive issues. Over the years, I grew frustrated because no matter how many different therapies I tried, I continued to experience pain and discomfort.

Discovering myofunctional therapy was a life-changing experience for me! I had a tongue tie release by a fantastic airway dentist and completed my own myofunctional therapy program. As I regained proper oral rest posture and muscle function, I noticed improvements in my symptoms; my migraines resolved, I started sleeping without clenching or grinding (I haven’t worn a night guard in over three years), my tension relaxed and my posture improved (which helped ease my neck and back pain), and my digestion is so much better! I have even noticed the lines on my face have softened - that’s just aesthetics, but in a world where women will spend thousands on wrinkle treatments, I’ll take the natural remedy!

Because of the relief I found, in 2021 I started my own practice so I could bring the same life-changing therapy to my clients and educate other practitioners on the importance that oral health plays in whole-body health.

My goal is to help my clients not just survive, but THRIVE!
