TMJ disfunction and why it is important to me.
I’ve been practicing massage therapy for more than 15 years, and throughout that time my focus has naturally evolved with my interests and the needs of the people I treat. After the pandemic, I noticed a significant shift: many clients were coming in with stress‑related symptoms and “pandemic‑posture” issues, especially tightness, discomfort, and pain in the neck and jaw. It made me wonder how many clients with persistent neck pain might also have been experiencing jaw dysfunction—issues they didn’t recognize, and support they didn’t realize I could offer. A conversation with Jules Poulin, founder and clinical director of *From the Neck Up*—North America’s first clinic dedicated exclusively to TMJ, neck, voice, and ear rehabilitation—opened the door to a new direction in my practice. That discussion sparked a deep curiosity and set me on a path to learn everything I could about using massage effectively and efficiently to treat TMJ dysfunction, neck pain, and related voice and ear concerns. I quickly realized there was far more I could do to help my clients feel better. After completing more than 100 hours of evidence‑based training, including three advanced courses with *From the Neck Up*, I’m proud to be recognized as a trusted affiliate. I’m excited to bring this knowledge into my practice and support you with skilled, targeted care. You don’t have to live with TMJ pain. I offer safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment for the jaw, head, neck, and ear—always tailored to your needs and guided at your pace.
