Laura has been a registered dental hygienist for the past 18 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 40% of those who struggle with these symptoms. In an effort to help her many patients, and also her daughter with her myofunctional struggles, Laura set out on a path to seek out further coursework in the holistic approach known as orofacial myofunctional therapy. Thus, her business, Wellness Myo was born out of desire to help people affected in every way she can through therapeutic exercises and functional muscle improvement. Laura wants to help people achieve the following goals: • Improve airway health • Promote nasal breathing and stop mouth breathing • Reduce TMJ discomfort / symptoms • Improve chewing and swallowing pattern • Assist in pre and post frenectomy exercises • Gain awareness of the tongue resting posture in the mouth • Improve sleep apnea scores and decrease snoring • Manage digestive symptoms • Improve mental clarity through improved restorative sleep • 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.
