Angie's passion for health and helping others is part of who she is personally, and professionally guiding her to learn, seek, and grow so she can offer more in her practice. 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 and challenges, she has learned the power the body has to heal and recover, and the importance of looking at the entire picture.
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 is a truly integrative Dental Hygienist, with 30 plus years in the field. She is an experienced clinician, researcher, writer, educator and avid learner. Angie is committed to her clients and works in collaboration with other specialists to delve deep into the underlying issues, with the understanding that the body functions as a whole. Angie has also worked as a researcher for Optiva (Sonicare toothbrush), and been a Certified Nutritional Counselor since 2007. Her passion to address overall health as an integral part of oral health, motivated her to start her business 15 years ago. Of particular interest to Angie is following an anti-inflammatory diet and using food as medicine, addressing gut health/brain health, and nutritional deficiencies. She published an article in 2012 on chronic inflammation and diet for the National American Dental Hygiene Association's "Access Magazine" and was a speaker at the Pacific Northwest Dental Convention in 2013.
Along with her 30 years in the dental field, Angie attended Seattle Midwifery School in 1998-99 (now part of Bastyr University) and became a Birth Doula. It was an amazing gift and honor to help new mammas through the birthing process. Her experience with newborns and infants helps her immensely in the Orofacial Myofunctional and Craniosacral aspects of her current practice.
Angie is also an Upledger Institute Certified Craniosacral Technique Therapist (CST-T) and an Avazzia BEST Neuro-stim Microcurrent Specialist. She spent 7 years working with a holistic oriented Pediatrician, and many talented Naturopathic Doctors at Centered in Wellness. Angie worked with physicians to effectively help address symptoms of concussions, scoliosis and other musculoskeletal issues, acute and chronic pain and injuries, TMJ/TMD and facial pain, stress syndromes, auto-immune disease and neuro-developmental issues, as well as nutritional deficiencies, detoxification and methylation challenges. Angie was the lead investigator in a study to determine the effects of Neurostimulation on symptom reduction in kids with autoimmune PANS/PANDAS. She and Dr. Cynthia Keller presented their work at the World Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine Conference in Houston in 2014.

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 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 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.
