About your therapist
Laura has been a registered dental hygienist for the past 17 years and serves her patients with dedication, hard work, and strong passion for their health and overall wellness. Throughout this time, she has gained a detailed understanding of the importance of the mouth and body connection. Recently, Laura started researching myofunctional disorders, and realized that so many patients that she sees on a regular basis fall into the estimated 38% of those who struggle with these symptoms. She has taken it upon herself to seek out additional coursework in myofunctional therapy training exercises and airway health to help people affected in every way she can through her business, Wellness Myo. Laura wants to help people achieve the following goals:
• Improve airway health
• Promote nasal breathing
• Reduce TMJ discomfort / symptoms
• Improve chewing and swallowing pattern
• Gain awareness of the tongue resting posture in the mouth
• Improve sleep apnea scores and decrease snoring
• Manage digestive symptoms
• Improve mental clarity
• Eliminate thumb sucking/nail biting habits
As a strong believer in lifelong learning, she is constantly committed to providing the most up to date knowledge in order to inform and empower her patients to make the most out of their health and be the best version of themselves.
