I’m a Registered Dental Hygienist
& Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist.
I'm Kathy Soto.
I am highly motivated by patient experience and feedback. I truly care about my patients' success. I want to ensure that every patient that comes to see me is just as aware of their issues and root causes as I am. I believe in integration work in each session so that the patient has a chance to truly change their maladaptive patterns such as mouth breathing, low tongue resting position, snoring, drooling, open mouth chewing, tongue thrust swallow patterns among others. From patient education, patient awareness I make sure to really help patients see and change their patterns so that the patient can live a life with awareness of their issues so that they can resolve them. I am client centered and also highly motivated by objective resolutions like photos, videos measurements. I like to see results and will continue to help the patient until we both believe true change has been made. I love when at the start of therapy a patient has unawareness and after therapy they have so much awareness that they could identify it in others and no longer in themselves.
