Send me a message, I’d love to hear from you!

Ever wonder how your tongue and facial muscles impact your breathing, sleep, and even posture? 

In this episode of Straight Up With Steph, I sat down with Kimmie, a Denver-based dental hygienist and myofunctional therapist, to talk about how myofunctional therapy helps both kids and adults improve tongue posture, nasal breathing, and overall health.

We dive into signs of dysfunction, from mouth breathing to sleep apnea and TMJ pain, plus simple exercises like tongue pops and nasal hygiene that can make a big difference.

Kimmie also shares her journey building a practice and mentoring others in this fast-growing field. If you’re curious about better sleep, breathing, and facial function, this episode is for you!
