Breath Restored Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy

06/14/2026

**15 Months.**

Most people notice the changes in my profile, my smile, and my facial balance.

What excites me most isn't what happened on the outside.

It's what happened behind it.

Swipe to see my airway before and after orthognathic surgery. >>>

The goal was never simply to change how I looked.

The goal was to create a structure that better supports breathing, tongue posture, sleep, function, and long-term health.

As a myofunctional therapist, I often explain that surgery changes anatomy—but it doesn't automatically change muscle patterns.

The tongue still needs a place to rest.

The lips still need to learn to stay together.

The muscles still need to adapt to a completely new foundation.

This is why I believe so strongly in the partnership between orthognathic surgery and myofunctional therapy.

One creates the space.

The other teaches the body how to use it.

Looking at these images reminds me of a lesson I learned through my own journey:

**When structure and function finally begin working together, everything changes.**

Questions about orthognathic surgery, airway health, or the role of myofunctional therapy before and after surgery? Drop them below or send me a message. I'd be happy to share what I've learned—both as a myofunctional therapist and as a patient.

Grateful to have been invited back again this year to share the importance of myofunctional therapy to the Graduating RDH'S at Weber State. Had a great time but forgot to get a group pic.! They were so kind to present me this sweet card with all their signatures.

There's still time to grab a spot for this event with in person or virtual options!

I'm honored and excited to share that I will be a featured speaker at Step Up Your Myo Game, hosted by The Myosphere, taking place April 24-25, 2026 in Raleigh, North Carolina!
This two-day symposium brings together leaders in the myofunctional therapy space, where I'll be speaking on the critical role of myofunctional therapy in orthognathic surgery-specifically how pre- and post-surgical integration can significantly impact outcomes and long-term stability.
More details can be found on my website. To view the full agenda and register to attend, visit themyosphere.com. I'm looking forward to connecting, learning, and sharing alongside such an incredible community.

I’m proud to share an exciting next step in my professional journey! Beginning March 2026, I will be pursuing certification as a Functional Medicine Health Coach through the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy.

This training reflects my commitment to continued growth as a healthcare professional and to expanding the care I offer my clients. By integrating functional medicine principles alongside myofunctional therapy, I look forward to further supporting whole-body health and enhancing patient outcomes through a more comprehensive, root-cause-focused approach.

I’m excited for what’s ahead and grateful to continue learning in service of the individuals and families I support.
