Hi there, and thank you for visiting my page!
I'm Kayla, a registered dental hygienist and certified myofunctional therapist.
My journey into myofunctional therapy began with my own daughter.
She struggled with poor sleep, difficulty paying attention, and speech challenges. She was never fully rested, often seemed constantly on the go, and had trouble pronouncing certain sounds like R and S. As her mom, I knew something wasn't quite right.
After trusting my instincts and searching for answers, I discovered she had a tongue tie that was contributing to chronic open-mouth breathing, enlarged tonsils, difficulty chewing, allergies, frequent ear infections, and disrupted sleep.
That discovery changed everything.
It opened my eyes to the incredible connection between breathing, airway health, oral function, facial development, and overall wellness. I realized that many children—and adults—live with symptoms that often go unrecognized or are treated individually instead of addressing the underlying cause.
Today, I combine my experience as a dental hygienist with specialized training in myofunctional therapy to help children and adults improve the way they breathe, sleep, chew, swallow, and function.
My goal is to educate families, identify concerns early, and provide personalized treatment that supports lifelong health—not just symptom management.
I'm honored you're here, and I look forward to helping you or your loved one on the journey toward healthier breathing, better sleep, and improved quality of life.
Welcome to Airway Hygiene with Kayla. 💚
