Myofunctional Therapy
With specific breathing techniques, postural restoration, and mindfulness, we can enhance the efficiency of diaphragmatic breath. With light slow breathing, we can improve oxygen delivery, balance our body's physiology, enhance our recovery, reduce stress, improve sleep and bolster fitness performance.

Myofunctional Therapy
Through a series of therapeutic exercises, we can create new and healthy patterns for the muscles in our face, tongue, throat, and lips.
Proper function of these muscles can improve daily functions such as chewing, breathing, & swallowing and also improve our airway. Improving oral posture can have lasting effects.

By making certain behavioural modifications, optimizing your sleep opportunity and developing consistent bedtime routines, you can begin to enjoy the restful and restorative sleep you deserve.
About Me...
From a young age, I always enjoyed the field of science and education. After completing a Graduate degree in Organic Chemistry at the University of Alberta, I went on to work as Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Saint Mary’s University College. Once I had my two beautiful children, I took some time to enjoy the precious moments that go by way too fast! When I decided to go back to work, I realized that my passion was working with people in the field of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy.
As a member of the Academy of Applied Myofunctional Sciences (AAMS), I completed the Comprehensive Introduction to Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy and Co-Morbidities of Sleep/TMD/Posture with the Academy of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (AOMT). In 2016, I also finished the Introductory Training in Orofacial Myology at the Coulson Institute under the direction of Sandra Coulson. As a Certified Personal Training Specialist and Certified Buteyko Breathing Practitioner, I hope to help others achieve better breathing and better overall health.
I believe that Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy is truly a dynamic and exciting profession that is critical in treating improper tongue resting position, muscular imbalances in the face and neck, TMD pain, and sleep breathing disorders. I am passionate about my career, and educating others on the positive benefits of having proper oral posture and nasal breathing. In my free time you’ll find me at the gym, walking my two dogs, and spending time with my family, as we explore Calgary, travel to new places and make incredible memories.
