Do you mouth breathe? Maybe you're not sure? Maybe you do while sleeping?

The way we breathe affects our quality of life. It affects the way we sleep, our energy levels, our relationships and our overall health.

If you mouth breathe and would like help switching to nasal breathing, myofunctional therapy can help!

DM to see how I can help you make the switch and move towards a healthier you!

It's a "Testimonial Tuesday!" This one is from Ashley....

"Myofunctional therapy with Amanda has changed my life. Learning I had a tongue tie at 38 years old seemed crazy, but since starting therapy and getting it clipped, I sleep more soundly and as a result I don't feel as fatigued each day. The biggest win for me was my struggle with acid reflux. I haven't had heartburn in ages and I have stopped taking medicine for my acid reflux completely! I had been struggling with that for 22 years! I loved my results so much I sent my 16 year old to Amanda too! I highly recommend myofunctional therapy to anyone that wants to breathe better and feel better. "

I am learning so much from this book!

The Dental Diet is full of tips to better not only your dental health, but your overall health. Our mouth is the gateway to our entire body. What we put in there affects not only our teeth and gums. It affects our how our systems and organs function.

Thank you for completing the missing link between oral health and overall well-being.

Healthy Breathing

"Every time you breathe, you exert an expanding force on your upper jaw. If you breathe improperly, (usually through your mouth), your teeth can drift or become crooked, your facial muscles don't work as they should, and you slowly starve your body of the number one nutrient it needs: oxygen."

- The Dental Diet

Our mouths are for eating and speaking. Our nose is for breathing. Correct your breathing, improve your health!

Hello 2023!

Time to finish up this book! The last few weeks have been busy with school, Christmas, work and all the “things”. Today we slow things down. While the kids watch Ghostbusters (again), I’ll cozy up with this book.

What does your New Year’s Day look like?

Yesterday I received this generous gift from one of my myo clients. 🥰

Sara has worked so hard this past year in an effort to become healthier and happier. I’m so lucky to get to work with her and watch as her quality of life improves!

Do you or your children have any of these red flags?

If so, you should see an airway focused dentist, ENT or physician to screen you.

And, work with a myofunctional therapist....ME!

Myofunctional therapy improves the function of the muscles of your mouth and face, which improves the effects and presence of sleep disordered breathing. Reduce snoring, improve sleep, and feel rested during the day!

PSA!! I HIGHLY recommend this nasal spray!
It even comes in a kids spray aka Kids Xlear.
There are studies to show its efficacy against Sars-Cov-2 and how it speeds up recovery time.
With the amount of sickness going around, you may want to add this to your daily regimen.

I've even had clients, including myself, that were prescribed a steroid nasal spray but chose to try this instead and had better results! And...this one is all natural...saline and xylitol.

I've purchased from Good Health Mart, Amazon, and Healthy Planet. If you know of any other places that sell this, please comment below.

It's a "Testimonial Tuesday!" This one is from the lovely Danielle.....

"Working with Amanda was a truly enjoyable experience, so much so that it was sad when the appointments came to an end! Amanda listened, guided and was always available for questions. I was amazed at the differences I saw in my mouth alignment only after a short period of time. Through the training of my mouth, lips, tongue, and face, my teeth grinding and jaw tension went away, my sleep improved by implementing the right habits and we established nasal breathing. Unlike any other treatments, you are not left on your own at the end of treatment but instead all the tools were provided so you could continue to improve your breathing health on your own. I highly recommend working with Amanda if you want all the goals you set out to be achieved!"
