My deep passion for speech language pathology, and specifically Myofunctional Therapy, was born from an undiagnosed orofacial myofunctional disorder (OMD) that impacted my life for over 20 years. Like some patients with OMD, I suffered from debilitating TMD pain, chronic headaches and upper back and neck pain. The pain was so severe and frequent that it impacted my ability to exercise, socialize and fulfill simple activities of daily living. I saw over 25 specialists in the course of 14 years and while some interventions temporarily alleviated the pain, I never found a solution that significantly remediated the pain longterm.

This is my story of living with chronic pain, becoming a Myofunctional Therapy patient, undergoing treatment, and experiencing an 80% reduction in chronic pain and TMD symptoms. My life's greatest pain became my life's greatest passion and calling. Please don't hesitate to reach out with your questions.
