Meet Caitlyn!
Your Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist!
Are you ready to breathe and sleep better than ever before? At Mindful Myo, our therapist specializes in providing the support you need during your airway journey. Say goodbye to restless nights and hello to peaceful sleep – let's work together to improve your breathing and overall well-being!
Caitlyn earned her degree in Dental Hygiene in 2016 from West Los Angeles College after almost a decade in the dental field as a dental assistant in Southern California. In 2020, Caitlyn and her family moved to the Treasure Valley in the beautiful state of Idaho. She has years of experience working in Conventional, Integrative and Airway focused dentistry. Caitlyn is passionate about early identification of craniofacial growth and jaw development deficiencies in children. These negative growth patterns can have profound effects on sleep, breathing and the TMJ into adulthood.
Caitlyn's myofunctional therapy training began with Sarah Hornsby's MyoMentor course in 2019. She was fortunate to be able to retake the course in 2021 and 2022 as the research and protocols are constantly evolving. In 2023, she completed MyoCircle 2.0 and Breathe Oral Habits courses to further advance her knowledge in the field to better serve patients.
Caitlyn believes that Myofunctional therapy is one of the most underutilized treatment modalities in dentistry. Her goal as a therapist is to bridge the gap between oral and systemic health with a focus on nasal breathing, tongue posture, correct swallow and lip seal. She is passionate about encouraging proper craniofacial growth in children and supporting breathing and sleep optimization in all ages.
