My guest today is Karese Laguerre, a Registered Dental Hygienist, and Myofunctional Therapist. She founded The Myo Spot, a practice aimed at amplifying oral wellness to whole-body wellness. Through teletherapy, she helps clients of all ages overcome tongue ties, TMJ disorders, sleep apnea, grinding, anxiety, and various breathing and orofacial dysfunctions.

Passionate about education and self-help, she published "Accomplished: How to Sleep Better, Eliminate Burnout and Execute Goals". When not working with clients globally she spends time with her husband and four kids.
