About Me

Hi, I’m Carolyn — a dental professional for over 14 years and myofunctional therapist with a deep passion for helping children and families breathe, sleep, and thrive better.

 

My journey into myofunctional therapy began at home. As a mom of three, I witnessed firsthand the impact of airway issues, prolonged pacifier use, and thumb-sucking on my own children. In my search for answers, I discovered myofunctional therapy and realized that many of the challenges I was facing at home were the same ones I was seeing in so many of my young dental patients — signs of sleep-disordered breathing, poor oral habits, and underlying airway dysfunction that often go unnoticed.

 

Determined to offer a more holistic, root-cause approach, I completed my postgraduate training in myofunctional therapy through Airway Health Solutions, a leader in airway-focused education. Through The Airway Studio, my goal is to empower families with education, tools, and compassionate care to support optimal oral function, growth, and development — from young childhood through adulthood.

​

​I also work closely with children participating in the Toothpillow program. While the Toothpillow helps guide the developing oral structures, myofunctional therapy trains the muscles and functional habits needed to support healthier facial and jaw growth and development. By improving tongue posture, lip seal, nasal breathing, and swallowing patterns, we can increase the likelihood of lifelong healthy breathing, sleep, and function.

 

I’m here to help parents like myself who are looking beyond quick fixes, and instead want lasting, functional solutions for their children’s health and well-being.
