Who created The Therapist’s Guide to OMDs?
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. And now, I’m sharing it all with you!
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. I’m passionate about educating and empowering therapists to learn more about Myo so they can help their own clients make more meaningful progress.
Healthy breathing is the foundation of a healthy, happy life. And it’s my mission to help SLPs and other professionals recognize the powerful ways Myo therapy can make an impact on their work and in their clients’ lives!
