Mouth breathing is a big deal

When your child, your client, or even you breathe through the mouth instead of the nose, it can cause a lot of problems, like:

Learning and behavioral issues
Brain fog
Fatigue
ADHD-like symptoms
Facial and posture changes
Sleep disorders

The good news? Myo Therapy is designed to get to the root cause of the issue and support healthy breathing, sleeping, and living! 

But most people (even specially trained SLPs) don’t know much about what Myo Therapy is or how it works. That’s why I created this ebook! 

The Breathe Better, Live Better ebook includes

A collection of printed pages from a sleep disorder guidebook, a smartphone displaying the cover of a chapter on sleep disorders, and the cover page of the guide titled 'Live Better, Breathe Better' which has 124 pages.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hi, I’m Dina

I’ve been an SLP for the past 20 years, treating infants and toddlers with feeding and swallowing disorders. My work led me to taking a deep dive into helping children and adults breathe better, sleep better, and live better. 

I work with children and adults in my private practice, and outside of the therapy room, I teach, mentor, and support SLPs and other professionals. I earned a second master’s degree in Educational Leadership and multiple certifications so I could deepen my understanding and skills. 

So many talented SLPs are frustrated and stuck because grad school never taught us the importance of uncovering the root cause of things like malocclusions, articulation deficits, and tongue thrust. 

This course is a culmination of years of studying, clinical experience, mentoring SLPs, and continued education.

You will also have the opportunity to learn from other specialists and doctors, including:

  • Dr. Zaghi, ENT Surgeon, Sleep Medicine Expert Log Angeles, CA

  • Dr. Kundel, Holistic Dentist in Stamford, CT

  • Dr. Mary Bourke, Chiropractor, SOT certified Craniopath, and CEO of Myo Munchee 

  • Dr. Victor and Sydney Avis, The Airway Evolution Foundation

You don’t have to become a Myo specialist in order to help your child or client breathe better and make meaningful progress!

With Breathe Better, Live Better you will have the information, skills, and techniques you need to support a healthier, happier kid.
