What type of training or certifications do you have?

 

I have a wealth of understanding of breathing and oral facial structures from my career as a Registered Dental Hygienist.  In addition, I am a Certified Buteyko Breathing Educator and a Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist.  Additional training in sleep disordered breathing, thumb sucking, and orthotropics.

 

How long/how many sessions will I need to take?

 

  Treatment is based on individual evaluation but 10 -12 therapy sessions is typical for successful outcomes.

 

Do you take insurance?

 

It depends on your plan. Few insurances cover this type of preventive treatment. However, if you have a HSA account, you can normally get reimburstment.

​

Where will the sessions take place?

 

Regular office visits are available in Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Francisco.  Occasionally, other arrangements can be made.
