Hi! I’m Kayla—a registered dental hygienist, orofacial myofunctional therapist, wife, and mom of two. As someone who grew up with a ton of airway and oral function issues, I am hugely passionate about this type of work! Read more about me here.

What is Myofunctional Therapy?

Orofacial myofunctional therapy consists of therapeutic exercises to strengthen and reeducate oral and facial muscles to optimize their function for breathing, sleeping, chewing & swallowing, and speaking.

I offer personalized treatment plans supported by research to reach therapy goals individual to each patient.

Kayla has been one of my favorite healthcare provides. She listened to all my problems and did a great job explaining how everything works. The thing I appreciated the most about her was I never felt like she was up selling something to me. I felt like she was addressing my problems and did not try to add more. Kayla also suggests getting outside opinions and is willing to discuss the options and opinions that differ from her own recommendation. During the 8 months that I worked with her I saw a major reduction in my symptoms. I stopped mouth breathing during the day, got better sleep, and gained more oral function. Working with her and following her recommendations has improved my quality of life and I would recommend her to anyone. Kayla is kind, personable, knowledgeable, and a great communicator.

Kayla is knowledgeable, caring and fun. My 8 and 11 year old boys acted like they didn't want to work with Kayla... but by the end of the session they had learned new exercises and were able to competently complete their home program. Kayla has very fair pricing and works well with families to schedule around school and other activities. I took both of my boys and after several visits with Kayla they had their tongue, lip and buccal ties clipped. Then worked more with Kayla to achieve lingual resting posture, nasal breathing, and increased oral control while eating. As a mom, but also a Speech-Language Pathologist, I would 100% recommend Kayla to my patients, friends and family.

Kayla has been such a great resource during this transformative process. I needed a revision frenuloplasty and was concerned about the success of a follow up procedure since the first procedure was not as successful. She was very observant of my deficiencies and customized a plan that focused on my needs. The results have been a night and day difference. I’m sleeping much better and my face and neck tension is gone.
