My journey to becoming a myofunctional therapist started when I graduated from Eastern Washington University with a bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene. At that point, I had no idea that I would end up becoming a leader in the field of myofunctional therapy.
As I started my myofunctional therapy training and began helping my patients and learning more about my own orofacial myofunctional symptoms, I became increasingly interested in holistic health and wellness.
I wanted to understand the root cause of not only oral myofunctional problems, but poor health in general. This interest became a passion that drove me to investigate how the airway, craniofacial development, breathing, and the tongue are linked to our overall health, sleep, and wellbeing.
I also started asking the bigger questions. Why were so few of my colleagues looking at these connections? Why had I never heard of this field? Why did none of my own doctors and dentists notice my symptoms when I was a child?
After I opened Faceology, my myofunctional therapy practice in 2010, it didn’t take me long to realize that most dentists, pediatricians, orthodontists, and ENTs don’t fully understand oral myofunctional therapy because most were simply never trained in this topic as part of their medical or dental education.
I’m trying to change this!
I’m passionate about connecting with, and creating a community of like-minded professionals who are dedicated to collaboration, learning, and elevating the standards of patient care.
I started MyoMentor in 2015 to help support hygienists on their journeys towards becoming myofunctional therapists. Since then, it's evolved to helping a wide range of healthcare professionals integrate myofunctional therapy into their practices. Over 1,200 students have graduated from my programs.
Faceology is my myofunctional therapy practice. I started it in 2010 in Seattle, Washington, and it's now transformed into a fully-online practice with several therapists seeing patients from all over the country and around the world.
