Who
we are
Our number one goal at Breath of Life Myo is to get to the root cause of poor oral rest posture relating to; jaw inflammation, dental malocclusion, sleep disordered breathing, mouth breathing, behavioral disturbances or any imbalances of the orofacial musculature.
Sleep disordered breathing is a growing epidemic and is the cause for many significant life disturbances and chronic conditions. Sleep disordered breathing can affect any age group, from birth to death. By eliminating sleep disordered breathing as early as possible, you set yourself up for the healthiest YOU long term.
From experience, finding a provider that actually wants to understand the “WHY” is hard to find. Breath of Life Myo is THAT provider. We will help you take a deep dive into your concerns and help you reach your goals and outcomes to the absolute best of our ability. We work alongside many providers to get you back to your best self and back to the healthiest YOU we can achieve in the most holistic way possible.
