Throughout her 20 years as a dental hygienist, Laura dedicated her career to caring for patients with compassion, attentiveness, and genuine dedication. She has always been a strong advocate for her patients—listening closely to their concerns, answering their questions, and helping them find meaningful solutions. Over the years, she developed a deep understanding of the connection between oral function, airway health, and overall well-being.

Two years ago, when her own daughter experienced myofunctional challenges, Laura began searching for answers and discovered the transformative benefits of myofunctional therapy. That personal experience sparked a new passion and led her to pursue advanced training in myofunctional therapy. Today, Laura is the founder of Wellness Myo, where she provides compassionate, individualized care to children and adults experiencing similar functional concerns.

At Wellness Myo, Laura takes a holistic, gentle, and non-invasive approach to addressing the underlying causes of myofunctional dysfunction. She works with children ages five and older, as well as adults, to support concerns including TMJ discomfort, tongue-tie release preparation and aftercare, tongue thrust and dysfunctional swallowing patterns, mouth breathing, sleep-disordered breathing, bedwetting, and more.

Laura believes that effective care begins with truly listening to each patient. She strives to ensure that every individual feels seen, heard, understood, and supported every step of the way. Her goal is not simply to address symptoms, but to help patients understand the deep connection between oral function, breathing, sleep, and overall health so they can make informed decisions about their care and achieve their fullest potential.
