My Story

I have spent over nine years caring for patients as a dental hygienist, where I developed a deep appreciation for the connection between oral health and overall wellbeing. Throughout my clinical experience, I began to notice that many patients struggled with concerns that extended beyond traditional dental care, including mouth breathing, sleep disturbances, jaw tension, and long-term functional imbalances. This realization led me to pursue advanced training and certification in myofunctional therapy. Over the past four years, I have focused on helping both children and adults retrain oral and facial muscle patterns to support healthier breathing, improved function, and sustainable wellness. What drives my passion for this work is seeing patients gain confidence, comfort, and meaningful improvement in their daily lives. Myofunctional therapy is not just about exercises, it is about helping individuals build lifelong habits that support vitality and long-term health.

Training & Credentials

• Registered Dental Hygienist with over 9 years of clinical experience

• Certified Myofunctional Therapist with 4 years of focused functional therapy practice

My Treatment Philosophy

I believe that true, lasting change happens when we address root causes rather than simply managing symptoms.

My approach focuses on:

✔ Restoring nasal breathing patterns

✔ Improving muscle coordination and tongue posture

✔ Supporting healthy jaw development and stability

✔ Enhancing sleep quality and overall functional wellbeing

Therapy at MyoMend Therapeutics is designed to be structured, achievable, and personalized. Patients receive clear guidance, practical exercises, and ongoing support to help them succeed both during and after their therapy program. Creating a welcoming and peaceful clinical environment is an essential part of the MyoMend experience. From the moment patients arrive, my goal is for them to feel comfortable, understood, and confident in the care they are receiving. I believe therapy is not rushed, it is intentional. Each session is designed to build trust, progress, and sustainable results. If you are ready to better understand your breathing patterns, improve oral function, and invest in long-term wellness, I would be honored to support you.
