Angie's passion for health and helping others guides her to learn, seek, and continue to grow so she can offer more in her practice. She loves spending time with her friends and family and engaging in her 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, close to fully grow!. Through faith and her family's own health journey and challenges, she has learned the power the body has to heal and recover, and the importance of looking at the entire picture. Her belief in something greater than the individual has guided her to explore her faith and spirituality and to become a Pastor. She continues to be curious, and strives to be open, non-judgmental and accepting as she pursue her spiritual and scientific education.
Angie's past health challenges and struggles 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 experiences and expertise together as an Integrative Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist or Orofacial Myologist.
Helping clients to optimize their orofacial muscles & structure, in order to enhance function and development, correct breathing, swallowing, tongue positioning 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 34 years were planned to get her just to this place!
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, as a craniosacral therapist: relating and connecting fascial tensions of the body, mouth, head and neck, and as a Doula supporting mom's and infants through pregnancy and post partum challenges and concerns. Angie combines her passion for healing, her expansive knowledge and professional experiences to personalize each of her clients therapy sessions.
She works in collaboration with other amazing airway-focused physicians and professionals as needed, to support you and your family in the best, most comprehensive manner possible.
