Empowering you to conquer jaw pain and headaches so you can focus on life and thrive

06/12/2025

TMJD often isn’t the origin of pain—it’s a symptom. Fix posture, breathing, tongue posture = relief. 

👊

Gum may seem harmless, but for sensitive jaws it’s repetitive strain. 🥤 Try sipping cool water, suck on mints or practice proper tongue posture instead.

Hi! I’m Melissa!

I help people that are struggling with symptoms of Jaw Dysfunction and Myofunctional Disorders.

Symptoms like headaches, jaw and neck pain, grinding, clenching and jaw clicking/popping.

Many times, winning this fight and getting lasting results is not easy or quick.

It takes time, commitment and consistency.

Having someone in your corner to listen, guide and empower you can be the game changer for the symptoms you’re experiencing.

A little bit about me...

🖥️ After working in a corporate setting for most of my 20’s and 30’s, I felt like I wasn’t doing enough to help people. I left my career and enrolled in Massage Therapy School at 37. 😬

🎶🎸 I am a concert and music lover! I’ve travelled to many places for concerts and music festivals. Some of the places I’ve travelled for shows: 🇮🇪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇬🇧 🇭🇷 🇩🇪 🇦🇹

I’m fortunate to have my family close to me. I’m not just an aunt to three incredible nieces, I also have the pleasure of being a Great Auntie(can you believe that?!) to twin boys.

🔥 Pyrography is a hobby of mine. I burn designs, images and patterns into anything made of wood and I love to give them as gifts. Cutting boards, coasters, ornaments etc…

I’ve even designed guitars and ukuleles. 🎸

Travel is another passion of mine and the plans are ALWAYS in the making for the next big adventure. Places I’ve travelled:
🇮🇸 🇩🇪 🇦🇹 🇮🇪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇬🇧 🇮🇹 🇨🇺 🇩🇴 🇭🇷

During football season, I also work with the

Managing to meld my passions for music and manual therapy has been a proud accomplishment. I sometimes work with touring artists & vocalists when they stop in Toronto and Niagara Falls.

I truly believe that you can find your freedom from the symptoms that are holding you back.

If you’re looking for someone to Encourage, Empower, and Equip you with the tools to get lasting results, working with me could be your solution!

TMJ treatment isn’t just about a quick fix—it’s about long-term relief, lasting change, and giving YOU the tools to take control of your health.
Here’s what sets my approach apart:

🧠 Education

I don’t just treat; I teach.

Understanding why you’re in pain is the first step to real progress. I break down complex issues into bite-sized, easy-to-understand explanations so you know exactly what’s happening and how to fix it.

🏋️‍♀️ Exercise Programming
No cookie-cutter programs here!

Every exercise is selected specifically for you, based on your needs, lifestyle, and goals. In-person or virtual care, I make sure you know how to do each movement correctly for maximum impact.

🗣 Communication

You’re not just another appointment on my schedule.

My hybrid care model includes ongoing support between visits. Have a question? Need an adjustment to your plan? I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

🤲 Manual Therapy

Yes, hands-on care is a part of your care plan—but it doesn’t stop there.

If you’re working with me in person or virtually, I’ll teach you how to perform self-release techniques so you can get relief at home. You’ll learn targeted strategies to manage tension and improve function, empowering you to take charge of your recovery.

TMJ care isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. I focus on real solutions, real support, and real results.

Ready to feel the difference? Let’s get started!

“Everyone told her she was fine…”
But her body told a different story.

She was 65, newly retired, and ready to enjoy life. But instead, she was stuck with:

Daily tension headaches
Jaw pain
A heavy, tight neck
And zero answers

After having imaging and seeing other practitioners she was told:
“Nothing looks wrong, your scans look normal”

But the symptoms didn’t care.
And the anxiety that came with it? Crippling.

When she found my page, something clicked.
The symptoms I described matched hers.
She finally felt seen.
So she booked.

We started slow:
✔️ Gentle jaw work
✔️ Myofunctional therapy
✔️ A plan she could stick with
✔️ Education and tools she could use at home

Now?
Her jaw feels normal
Headaches are rare
Her neck no longer feels like a weight
And best of all—she knows what to do when tension returns

If this sounds familiar, I see you.
You’re not alone. And there’s help.

📩 DM me “HEADSPACE” and I’ll point you in the right direction.

Well...you might need a night guard....but it’s not a cure.

A night guard is only designed to protect your teeth from grinding and/or clenching.

It won’t stop the clenching.
It won’t retrain your tongue.
It won’t help you breathe better.

Clenching, grinding, and jaw tension are often symptoms of deeper issues:
😮‍💨 Poor breathing mechanics
👅 Low or forward tongue posture
🧠 A nervous system stuck in “fight or flight”
📏 Misaligned posture and muscle imbalances

In my TMJD care programs, we go beyond the quick fixes.

You’ll learn why your jaw is reacting the way it is—and how to calm the system down.

We use a hybrid approach: hands-on therapy, personalized exercises, nervous system tools, education, and accountability—all designed to get you real, lasting relief.

💬 Curious if this is what you’ve been missing?

Send me a DM with the word “CLENCH” and I’ll share how we can work together to finally get you results.

“Just eat the burger.”

If only it were that simple.

For people with TMJD, something as normal as taking a bite of a sandwich, burger, or apple can trigger a wave of anxiety.

😖 What if it clicks?
😣 What if it locks?
🥴 What if it hurts for hours afterward?

So you cut it up. Or you avoid it entirely.
And slowly, eating becomes something to manage—not enjoy.

But here’s the truth:
You’re not overreacting. You’re adapting.
And there are tools, therapies, and habits that can help you feel confident eating again.

If you relate to this, know you’re not alone—and you don’t have to stay stuck.

📩 DM me or book a consult to find out what your next steps can look like.

👊🏻
