Liz, LDH, Myofunctional Therapist
Liz graduated from Lake Superior College with her associates of dental hygiene in 2012. Hygiene has always been her passion. A few years back she attended a continuing education course on mouth breathing, not really thinking much of it. Since taking that course, Liz has found a dental office that is air-way focused. This is where she had the opportunity to advance her education and take a course to become a Myofunctional Therapist.
Knowing the importance of optimal airway through nasal breathing, lip seal, correct tongue position and correct swallowing, Liz has started to develop a second passion. It is in her nature as a hygienist, to want to help anyone and everyone she sees, but now as a Myofunctional Therapist, she can help even more people live the best life they can.
