Aloha Massage and Myofunctional Therapy

As a dental hygienist, I have spent over 30 years helping my patients achieve optimal oral health. With my specialized education in myofunctional therapy, I am now delighted to also offer treatment to improve orofacial muscle function including tongue posture, nasal breathing, lip seal and swallowing. Myofunctional therapy helps to retrain your muscles to alleviate sleep disordered breathing, TMJ disorders, orthodontic relapse, speech issues and much more. Have you been told by another provider that you may have a tongue tie or a tongue thrust? Do you suspect that you have sleep apnea or that you snore? I welcome you to schedule a free 15-20 assessment with me to discover more and to learn if a comprehensive evaluation may benefit you. Do you suffer from a sore jaw, tension in your neck and shoulders? Are you grinding or clenching your teeth? I have personally had amazing results in this area and I am passionate to help others to increase their awareness, retrain their muscles and find relief. When our muscles are not functioning optimally, we naturally compensate with muscles in other areas of our body. I had the great honor of studying massage at Hawaii Healing Arts College and craniosacral therapy with the Upledger Institute. Hawaiian massage aims to release physical and emotional blockages, restore harmony, foster peace and wellness, and help the body return to balance. Craniosacral therapy is a powerful light touch therapy, helping to regulate the nervous system and create a space for the body to heal itself, to function better and to live with greater ease.
