Is Oral Function Affecting Your
Breathing, Sleep, or Development?

In a world where families are often told “everything is normal,” my goal is to offer education, hope, and guidance you can actually use.
These guides have been designed to help you spot patterns early, understand the connection between oral function and whole-body wellness, and feel empowered on your journey.
This resource library is a small part of my mission to create more awareness, more collaboration, and more clarity around airway health.

The Airway Guide
A practical, evidence-based roadmap to better breathing, sleep, and whole-body health — from infancy through adulthood.
Breathing shapes how we grow, sleep, focus, and feel. Yet airway health is often overlooked until problems arise. The Airway Guide was created to help parents, caregivers, and adults understand the signs of airway dysfunction and take confident, informed action.
This 64 paged, comprehensive digital guide walks you through how oral function, tongue posture, breathing, sleep, and facial growth are all connected. Whether you’re supporting an infant with feeding concerns, a child with mouth breathing or orthodontic challenges, or an adult struggling with poor sleep, jaw tension, or fatigue, this guide offers clarity and direction.
Inside, you’ll learn:
What a healthy airway looks like and how facial growth is shaped by function
How myofunctional therapy supports breathing, sleep, and stability
The impact of oral habits, tongue and lip ties, and dysfunctional breathing
How airway issues relate to sleep-disordered breathing, posture, digestion, and nervous system health
When and how orthodontics, myofunctional therapy, and collaborative care work best together
What parents can look for in newborns and infants, and who to turn to for support
Actionable steps you can start at home to support better breathing and sleep
This guide is designed to empower, not overwhelm, giving you the education, tools, and next steps to advocate for yourself or your child with confidence.
✨ Perfect for parents, adults, and whole-health practitioners seeking a functional, airway-centered approach to wellness.
Your Guide to Breaking Oral Habits
A functional, compassionate approach to breaking oral habits—for good.
Oral habits like thumb sucking, prolonged pacifier use, nail biting, lip chewing, and mouth breathing often begin as comfort mechanisms—but when they persist, they can impact jaw growth, tongue posture, breathing, and long-term airway health.
The Oral Habit Elimination Guide was created to help parents move beyond sticker charts and willpower alone. Rooted in myofunctional therapy principles, this guide focuses on addressing the underlying functional reasons habits exist, so they can be replaced with healthy, sustainable patterns.
This guide empowers parents with education, tools, and simple strategies that support both emotional regulation and proper oral function.
Inside, you’ll learn:
Why oral habits form and what they’re often compensating for
How tongue posture, lip seal, and breathing influence habit persistence
The most common mistakes families make when trying to stop a habit
How to gently retrain oral muscles to support healthy rest posture
Age-appropriate strategies to eliminate habits without force or punishment
How to prevent habit replacement (when one habit stops and another begins)
When professional support may be helpful for lasting success
