Today is World Breathing Day! A day to be reminded that breathing isn't just something that happens in the background.
It affects your sleep, your focus, your overall wellnes. It's one of the most under estimated tools for feeling better and recovering better from what the world throws at us.
Take a few cleansing breaths and thank your body for how amazing it really is!

I recently asked a little guy if he wakes up during the night. He said yes on Christmas and his birthday.🤣 Same, boy, same!
I woke up so early, so excited for my kickoff of another trip around the sun!🥳 Sometimes, the feeling of anticipation is as fun as the event. 🤷♀️
This is a wild and wonderful life! Aim to enjoy every moment!🩷

We have been hoping that tooth would jump over where it belongs, and it finally did!
He's breathing better and sleeping better, and we are most excited about that!!
But dang, it is sweet icing on the cake when the teeth start to line out as well!

With our hectic lives and busy schedules, sometimes sleep gets put on the back burner. But sleep is actually crucial to every organ and process in our body and should be prioritized!
Can you move bedtime up just a bit?
Dim the lights sooner?
Turn off electronics earlier?
Make sure bedding is comfy?
Cut off meals and drinks a little earlier?
Check for low iron or magnesium?
Cut back on caffeine?
Cool the room down and make sure it's dark?
Maybe some myofunctional therapy?😉
A few small changes can make a big difference. ✨️

- A deep overbite often means that the lower jaw is positioned too far back
- This retruded jaw position can reduce the space in the oropharynx (the airway behind the tongue and soft palate), making it smaller and increasing the risk of sleep-disordered breathing, snoring, and teeth grinding. (Notice the wear on his baby teeth)
- By strengthening and repositioning the tongue, myofunctional therapy can encourage forward growth of the jaw and open up the airway space.
(Started treatment at age 6, made a nice impact on jaw and airway development with 12 months of myofunctional therapy)

I am checking the visibility of the soft palate, uvula, and tonsillar pillars when a person opens their mouth and sticks out their tongue.
This is a before and after treatment photo of this assessment and the fantastic improvement in airway space gained through myofunctional therapy on a 7 year old boy.
If you or your child have disturbed sleep, snoring, or teeth grinding, assessing the airway could be useful. Myofunctional therapy can help improve sleep by optimizing tongue posture and airway space.
More open airway space is related to more restful sleep. 💤

Snoring isn’t just a nighttime annoyance—it can indicate underlying issues with breathing and oral function. Research shows that myofunctional therapy can help improve snoring by strengthening the muscles of the tongue, throat, and face. This specialized therapy works to promote proper breathing and better sleep quality. 💤
If you or someone you know struggles with snoring, it’s worth exploring this natural, non-invasive solution. Sleep better, live better! 🌟

A facial grimace for lip closure refers to the use of excessive or compensatory muscle effort, particularly around the mouth and face, to achieve or maintain lip closure. Instead of the lips gently coming together as they should during rest or function (like speaking or swallowing), the person uses extra force from surrounding facial muscles, which may include:
Tightening of the cheeks
Scrunching or pursing of the lips
Engaging muscles around the nose and chin
This can create a strained or unnatural appearance and may indicate a dysfunction in the oral-facial musculature. Such compensatory patterns often develop when proper lip seal cannot be achieved passively or naturally, perhaps due to:
Low muscle tone in the lips or face.
Incorrect tongue posture.
Open mouth resting posture.
Anatomical issues, like a short upper lip or large tonsils/adenoids.
Habits such as mouth breathing.
With myofunctional therapy, the focus is on retraining the muscles for correct, effortless lip closure to restore natural function and reduce strain. If this grimace is a concern, exercises to strengthen the lips, improve tongue posture, and address any underlying habits or structural issues may help reduce the need for such compensations.

Do you see how the teeth were so crowded in the bone that they were erupting in a slanted angle?
Changes were made to his palate by retraining the tongue, which made room for Mother Nature to take over and guide his development towards his own genetic potential.
The crowded teeth are a sign that more space is needed and shouldn't be ignored. He has a great foundation before he even starts braces, and this will aid in his jaw stability. His sleep is more restful, and he is healthier for it!

"🦈 Does your child have ‘shark teeth’ – when their adult teeth start growing in behind the baby teeth that haven’t fallen out yet? This can be a sign that their oral muscles aren’t working as they should, impacting how their mouth develops and leading to crowded teeth or alignment issues.
💡 Myofunctional therapy can be a game changer! This therapy involves exercises that train the muscles of the mouth, lips, and tongue to function correctly, promoting proper swallowing, breathing, and overall oral posture. By addressing these functions early, myofunctional therapy can support natural teeth alignment and help avoid future orthodontic challenges.
If your child is showing signs of ‘shark teeth,’ early intervention can make a big difference! Reach out today to learn more!

Now I live in the country myself and just really enjoy a nice walk outside.

Spending time with a good friend and enjoying a relaxing sound bath, these are a few of my favorite things!
A sound bath is a meditative experience where those in attendance are “bathed” in sound waves.
These waves are produced by various sources, including healing instruments such as gongs, singing bowls, percussion, chimes, rattles and tuning forks.
It's so relaxing to the nervous system and gives me a great opportunity to be intentional with my breath.
What can you do today to show yourself some love and self care? ❤️
