My journey into myofunctional therapy began when my daughter was born with a post natal diagnosis of Down Syndrome. Because of the genetic physical traits that come with Down Syndrome, she immediately faced challenges like a weak latch and tongue thrust, which led me to search for answers and discover the transformative power of myofunctional therapy. It didn’t take long for me to realize how essential this work was—not only for improving her muscle tone and swallow patterns but also for preventing future issues like speech delays, respiratory conditions and ear infections.

With a professional background as both a dental hygienist and fitness trainer, paired with my personal experience as a mother, I’ve developed a deep passion for helping individuals of “all” abilities. I believe in retraining the neuromuscular connections in the face and mouth to support proper breathing, encourage optimal craniofacial growth, maintain healthy jaw joints, and enhance functional chewing and swallowing. Early intervention is key to helping our children grow with optimal airway and overall health.

With twenty years of dental hygiene experience and five years in the fitness industry, I am passionate to improving quality of life through holistic, muscle-based therapies. Excited to be a small part of your airway journey!
