Karen is someone who truly cares about your wellbeing. She has gone above and beyond to help in my very long journey to treat my severe sleep apnea. She taught me the exercises to do before and after my double jaw surgery as well as tongue tie release, which has helped immensely so I can now breathe much more easily. She also researched other health providers for me to go to so their services can complement the Myofunctional therapy exercises and promote healing. The visits are easy because they are all online and she responds quickly to all questions. I highly recommend Karen!

Our son, before and after getting his tongue tie fixed, was helped by Karen with myofunctional therapy. He now has fewer allergies and sleeps better every night!

I'm in my 40s and I had ortho 3x times because my teeth kept shifting and it was because I didn't know that I had a tongue thrust that was pushing my teeth out. Karen helped identify the root cause of my tongue thrust which was a tongue tie that no one ever identified. Karen taught me exercises to correct my thrust and prepare me for a tongue tie release. Karen is amazing! She is thorough and guides you along the whole process. I will never have to go through ortho again!

Karen is fantastic! When I finally decided to start myofunctional therapy with her I wondered why I hadn't done it sooner. She makes the whole process seem manageable by breaking it down into weekly, attainable exercises and goals. She stays current with the latest teachings and adjusts her treatment plans to be cutting edge. The results have been amazing and I couldn't recommend her more. If you're thinking about it, just reach out to her and get started!

I was referred to Karen by my dentist for oral hygiene. After seeing Karen, I had next to no issues with oral hygiene, and had also noticed lessened anxiety and increased energy from the breathing exercises. She regularly checked in and helped course correct with any lesson that I was struggling with, and her adjustments were always helpful in resolving whatever I was stuck on. Overall, undergoing myofunctional therapy with her was a very positive experience and gave me lasting knowledge that's helping me deal with everyday life, beyond just for dental reasons.

Karen teaches Myofunctional Therapy to my daughter Lauren. She is excellent at teaching appropriate exercises, improving habits and distilling the information to a level understandable by a thirteen year old. Each of these traits are important in overall success. Karen uses the right language and motivation to get the maximum results. I am very happy she is working with Lauren and have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who is seeking myofunctional therapy. We did our sessions by zoom and received support from Karen throughout.

I have been concerned for years about problems with my jaw. It would often pop out, freeze up and sometimes become painful. I have tried a mouth guard and physical therapy, but these did nothing to resolve the underlying problem.I mentioned these issues to Karen, and she alerted me to the fact that I had a serious tongue tie and that I was using my neck muscles to open my jaw widely. Besides the jaw pain, other problems can be related to the tongue tie, including sleep apnea and Gastric Reflux, both of which I have. Since my recently born Grandson had to have his tongue tie cut because he could not nurse properly, a lightbulb went on in my head! I was bottle-fed as a baby and did not have speech issues, so my tongue tie was not diagnosed or treated. In hindsight, exercises given to me when I had braces as a teenager appear to have been for rudimentary tongue strengthening. I have a small mouth and my teeth are very crowded.While the jaw issues were paramount to me, I also had worries about food aspiration - I had watched my dad struggle with it in old age. At 65, I was already having issues. Karen recommended that I start Myofunctional therapy to strengthen and train my tongue in preparation for the surgery, and afterwards to ensure that I could make best use of my newly freed tongue.I took Karen’s advice and have been absolutely thrilled with the results! The surgery was an out-patient procedure, and I had an easy recovery. It was clear to me that the pre-surgery therapy was important to its success.My jaw now operates smoothly and without pain, I can swallow without aspiration and there have been other benefits that I did not anticipate. My eyes have always been mis-aligned, with one lower than the other. This was not particularly noticeable in everyday life but was very apparent in pictures. After healing from the surgery and completing the therapy, my eyes are noticeably better aligned! It is amazing to me what a difference this process has made in my life.

Karen is professional, warm and innovative. She taught me tangible exercises/techniques that were easy to adapt to my daily hygiene routines. I appreciate Karen’s direct approach, while also understanding my specific needs. Highly recommend.
