I’ve spent years helping people through dental care and education, but becoming a mother gave me a whole new perspective on what it means to need support.

After working in a practice that performed infant lip and tongue tie releases, I thought I understood the challenges families faced. Then I experienced breastfeeding difficulties with my own daughter. Suddenly, I understood those worries from the other side.

That experience inspired me to deepen my training in infant feeding and tongue tie support, alongside my work in myofunctional therapy. As a registered dental hygienist and DONA-trained doula, I bring both clinical knowledge and personal understanding to the families and individuals I care for.

Whether we’re working on feeding, muscle function, or lifelong habits, I want you to feel heard, understand your options, and know we’re working toward something better together.

Outside the clinic, life is full of adventures with my daughter and our Bernedoodle, Bodey. And when I get the chance, you’ll find me scuba diving among the shipwrecks of the St. Lawrence River!

**Founder Certified Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist**

I founded Oral-Facial Advantage in 2020 because I kept meeting people who were living with symptoms they didn’t understand—and weren’t getting the answers they needed.

When you walk through my door, my focus is on you and helping you make meaningful changes. I listen, ask questions, and look for the muscle patterns and habits that may be contributing to what you’re experiencing. Then we get to work—together.

I love helping people discover what’s possible when they begin changing lifelong habits. I’ll be there to guide you, encourage you, and celebrate every step forward.

Outside the clinic, I love experimenting with recipes, walking, reading, stargazing, and quiet evenings by the campfire. I’m always learning, and my patients and colleagues continually inspire.

With 25 years of experience in the dental field, I have become increasingly interested in the connections between my clients’ symptoms and the function of their oral and facial muscles. This curiosity led me to explore the critical relationships between proper breathing, airway and oral posture, and whole-body function.

As a registered dental hygienist with additional education in the discipline of myofunctional therapy, one of my greatest rewards is helping people achieve optimal oral health. Discovering Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy has allowed me to expand that work by looking beyond oral health alone to address the functional patterns that influence breathing, sleep, and overall well-being.

Having grown up in Niagara, I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially on the water, and prefer the milder days of fair-weather seasons. Rowing is my latest hobby!

I look forward to connecting.
