Certified Holistic Healthcare Practitioner, Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH), and Certified Specialist in Orofacial Myology with over 35 years of experience in whole-body wellness. Founder and Director, HH Wellness LLC (since 2000) — a virtual-only integrative wellness and orofacial myofunctional therapy practice serving adults and children with airway disorders, sleep-disordered breathing, tongue-tie, orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs), and related systemic health conditions. Published author and international lecturer.

 

Clinical and educational philosophy centers on identifying and treating the root causes of orofacial dysfunction: mouth breathing, tongue posture, swallowing pattern abnormalities, sleep-disordered breathing (sleep apnea, snoring), temporomandibular dysfunction, dysautonomia, and the "crooked face epidemic" (the developmental skeletal consequences of chronic mouth breathing). Partnering with integrative orthodontists and dentists in a team-based approach — applying orofacial myology, breathing analysis, emotional balancing, posture assessment, nutrition, and sleep habits as adjuncts to orthodontic treatment.
