hobbies
I love traveling and networking! I know it seems like more work but my name is Gabby for a reason. I really enjoy hiking especially the PNW, and being a book reading, homebody with my husband and [aussie cattle dog] Peyton DiMaggio. We love baseball (if you couldn't tell) so we love to travel to MLB parks when we can to catch a game!
My why
I've always had a love for learning and chasing challenges. I have a firm belief that growth and success at any level comes from dedication, learning, and practice.
I hold a special love for the complexity of orofacial myology cases and all the interdisciplinary professionals I get to work with within the web that is each case. After the experience with my own OMDs, (and the intensive work, regression, new evidence, and relearning it took me to achieve proper function), it became my personal mission to provide anyone access to the level of care and connection I wished for!
Every since improving my orofacial function, patterns, habits, and rest posture; I've been a part of the process first hand to experience the positive orofacial structural/facial symmetry changes, improved breathing, improved posture, decreased asthmatic symptoms, decreased anxiety, decreased insomnia, decreased oral hypersensitivity, decreased picky eating, and increased restfulness/energy. As a part of my journey I collaborated with dentists/orthodontists, massage therapists, craniosacral therapists, and more to achieve the optimal wellness I experience today!
