Angie Zappone has been a Dental Hygienist and healthcare practitioner for over 30 years and has enjoyed every second of it. Her passion for health and helping others is part of who she is personally, as well as professionally. She loves spending time with her friends and family, and volunteering in the community. Exploring the outdoors, kayaking, camping and hiking, reading by the fire, walking her dogs, and coaching youth soccer are just a few of her favorite things. Angie and her husband have 3 wonderful children, whose resilience and passion for life continue to amaze her. Through her, and her family's own journey with Lyme, autoimmune disease, and airway and orthodontic challenges, she has learned the power the body has to heal and recover, and the importance of looking at the entire picture. Through her love of research and learning, faith, and the determination to help her family and others, she discovered that the path to healing often takes you to unexpected places. Sometimes the struggles that you believe are a curse, end up being the things that make you learn and grow the most.
Angie's past health challenges have lead her on a different path, with exposure to an immense amount of healing modalities, brilliant doctors and practitioners, and amazing, kind, strong empathetic people. It has brought home the fact that we are all here as part of a bigger community, and at heart have more in common then we do differences. Angie has a deep desire to continue to learn, share and grow, and a passion to help others through her own professional training and personal experiences.

Angie's is so excited to have brought all her health care interests and expertise together as an Integrative Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist (also known as Orofacial Myologist). Helping clients to optimize their orofacial muscles & structure, in order to alleviate pain and enhance function and development, correct breathing, swallowing, and feeding, is her true calling. As she looks back at all her varied passions and professional experiences, It astounds her that it all came together so seamlessly, like her last 30 years were planned to get her just to this place!
In working with clients who have Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders, she utilizes all the things she learned and practices in dental hygiene, craniosacral therapy and nutritional counseling. She also has the unique experiences from her days as a birth doula helping clients with latching and breast feeding, and the importance of certain nutrients on skeletal development.
She is able to look at orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs) from a place of three professions; as a dental hygienist & myofunctional therapist; examining form, function, development, oral habits, compensatory patterns, and genetics, AND as a craniosacral therapist relating and connecting fascial tensions of the body, head and neck, AND as nutritional counselor, knowing certain methylation challenges and nutrient deficiencies can also play a role in skeletal formation and healing. Angie combines her passion for healing, her expansive knowledge and professional experiences to personalize each of her clients therapy sessions. She feels its important for success to avoid a cookie cutter approach and she thoroughly evaluates each person's individual needs.
