About Us
My journey into myofunctional therapy began on a very personal level. In the process of seeking effective treatment for my son—and coming up empty-handed after 10 years and several courses of care spanning seven doctors across three different healthcare specialties—I eventually found myself in the realm of myofunctional therapy. What I discovered there immediately resonated with me because it allowed me to connect the dots of his health challenges and finally see how they were all related. I loved it so much that I began pursuing advanced training on my own so I could better support my son and, ultimately, help others facing similar challenges.
Drawing on 25 years of experience as a dental hygienist and 12 years working among dental specialists as a marketing consultant, I bring a comprehensive, patient-centered perspective to my work as an affiliated provider supporting these different specialties. I spent 3 years at Brigham Young University taking pre-dental courses and transferred up to Weber State University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene. This is where I built a strong foundation in clinical care, patient education, and whole-health oral wellness.
As the field of myofunctional therapy continues to evolve, so does the research behind it. I am committed to staying at the forefront of this rapidly developing specialty by pursuing ongoing, evidence-based training informed by the most current research. My approach is grounded in collaboration, compassion, and clarity. I believe the best outcomes happen when patients feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout their therapy.
Whether you are seeking help for concerns related to breathing, oral habits, tongue-tie, sleep, speech, or overall function, my goal is to provide a personalized, research-driven treatment plan that promotes lasting health and improved quality of life.

FAQs
Why isn’t myofunctional therapy included in traditional healthcare training?
Myofunctional disorders are complex and involve multiple healthcare disciplines — dentistry, orthodontics, sleep physiology, neurology, pulmonology, ENT, speech pathology, physical therapy, and more. Because no single specialty ‘owns’ this area, no profession has required specific guidance on how to incorporate this modality into their basic treatment plans. As a result, many providers are unaware of the latest research on airway health and myofunctional therapy. This therapy remains underutilized simply because most clinicians must seek additional, specialized training after graduation to learn how to integrate it into their treatment protocols.
How does the slow acceptance of myofunctional therapy impact patients?
Unfortunately, the slow acceptance of myofunctional therapy within mainstream healthcare continues to limit treatment options for patients. As a result, many individuals are not given the opportunity to explore natural, noninvasive therapies that might help them avoid more aggressive procedures or prescription medications.
What if I’ve been told that nothing is wrong or that my symptoms aren’t “bad enough” for treatment?
If you’ve ever been told there’s nothing wrong, that you’re not tongue-tied, that nothing can be done for your TMD (Temporomandibular Disorders), or that your sleep concerns aren’t “bad enough” to require treatment — it’s important to know that your current struggles do not have to become your new normal. Finding providers that understand the complexities of airway health and have a good network of specialists they collaborate with is possible, and is essential for your optimal outcome.
Why shouldn’t I try to correct tongue posture or breathing on my own?
These improvements take time and should always be done gradually. Trying to fix tongue posture or nasal breathing on your own or from a video online can strain muscles and worsen discomfort, especially if TMJ issues are already present. Myofunctional therapy provides a safe, step-by-step approach that works with the body — not against it — to achieve natural, lasting results.
