About Me
Hi there, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Lanae. I live in a small town in South Dakota with my husband and two sons. I have been a Registered Dental Hygienist for about 8 years. My passion for Myofunctional Therapy was found when it was recommended for my kids as well as my husband. I love to work with clientele of all ages and look forward to meeting you!
​
In our free time you'll find my family on the boat or just exploring the great outdoors. I am a huge fan of all things sports!
WHAT IS MYO?

This is achieved by correcting improper tongue positioning and muscle imbalances in the oral cavity. In short, the main goal is to restore proper function of the airway
