Elite Myofunctional Therapy

Elite Myofunctional Therapy I help people breathe, sleep, and feel better through Myofunctional Therapy. From TMJ pain and sleep issues to tongue ties and narrow palates, we faced it all.

Specializing in TMJD, tongue thrust, airway health, and orthodontic relapse by retraining the muscles of the face and tongue for long-term wellness. Hi, I’m Bernalea Liesse, a dental hygienist with 21 years of experience and the founder of Elite Myofunctional Therapy.

Whether it's checking in after a long day, going for a walk together, or simply offering a listening ear, the people we surround ourselves with can have a positive impact on our overall well-being.

Let's talk about nose breathing!

Breathing through your nose does more than just move air—it helps filter, warm, and humidify the air before it reaches your lungs. It also supports healthy oral function, quality sleep, and overall airway health.

While occasional mouth breathing happens (especially with a cold or allergies), your nose is designed to be your body's primary way of breathing.

Have you ever noticed whether you breathe through your nose or your mouth during the day? We'd love to hear from you! Share your thoughts or questions in the comments below. 💚

Our bodies are designed to work as a team.

Breathing, swallowing, speaking, chewing, and smiling may seem like separate actions, but they're all connected through the muscles and functions of the mouth, face, and airway.

When one area isn't functioning as efficiently as it should, it can influence others. That's why understanding how these systems work together is an important part of supporting overall health.

Learning about your body is the first step toward caring for it.

Healthy breathing starts with healthy habits. 💚

Your airway health isn't determined by just one thing—it's influenced by the small choices and habits you practice each day.

Nose breathing, staying hydrated, maintaining good posture, prioritizing quality sleep, and being mindful of your oral rest posture all work together to support healthy function.

Remember, these habits aren't about perfection. They're about creating a strong foundation for your overall health and well-being.

Need this reminder today? So did we. 💚

Sometimes the best thing you can do is pause, take a breath, and remind yourself that you're doing the best you can.

Positive affirmations won't change everything overnight, but they can help shift your mindset, encourage self-compassion, and keep you focused on the habits that support your well-being.

If one of these affirmations spoke to you, save this post for later—or share it with someone who could use a little encouragement today. 🌿✨

A little reminder for today...

Lasting wellness isn't built overnight. It's created through the small choices we make every day—the ones that often seem insignificant in the moment.

Whether you're focusing on better sleep, healthier breathing, balanced nutrition, or simply taking a few moments to care for yourself, every positive step matters.

Start where you are, be patient with yourself, and remember that consistency is more powerful than perfection. 🌿

A friendly reminder for today...

Healthy living isn't about doing everything perfectly. It's about making one good choice at a time.

Whether it's drinking more water, getting a little extra sleep, choosing to breathe through your nose, or simply taking a moment to slow down, every small step matters.

Progress looks different for everyone, and that's okay. Keep showing up for yourself—one healthy habit at a time. 🌿

✨ What's one healthy choice you've made today?
