Meet Theresa
AOMT-C®
Certified Myofunctional Therapist®
Accredited Breathing Instructor
Hi, I am Theresa.
I am a Certified Myofunctional Therapist® and Accredited Breathing Instructor.
Every day, I cared for patients dealing with jaw pain, a challenge I know personally. After more than 20 years in the dental field, I experienced firsthand how frustrating chronic jaw pain and dysfunction can be. Traditional approaches like orthodontics and night guards didn’t help me, but myofunctional re-education did. That transformation inspires my work every day.
My approach is always collaborative, compassionate, and centered on your unique needs. I believe that trust, connection, and clear guidance are essential to meaningful change. My goal is to help you breathe better, sleep better, and feel better in your daily life.
A Bit More About Me
My professional path began as a dental lab technician, creating dental restorations. From there, I became a registered dental hygienist, where I spent over 2 decades providing high-quality care and building strong patient relationships.
As I continued my career, I became increasingly fascinated by how oral posture, muscle function, and breathing influence overall health. That curiosity led me to pursue specialized training in:
Certification in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy through the Academy of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (AOMT-C®, Certified Myofunctional Therapist®)
Breathing Re-education through the Buteyko Clinic International
My training allows me to blend oral muscle therapy with breathwork in a way that supports lasting functional change.
When I am not with patients, you’ll likely find me outdoors kayaking, camping under the stars, or watching birds. Nature refreshes me, and I bring that calm enthusiasm to my work with you.
