Howdy!! My name is Ashley Craig. I am a wife, a mother of two boys, Texas native, a dental hygienist, and now adding myofunctional therapist to my list of accomplishments! My husband and I met in high school and have been married now for 3 years. We have a two year old son Cooper and a soon to be newborn, Colter. In my spare time, I love spending time with my family, playing outdoors, reading, doing crafts, and cooking. I got started in my career as a dental hygienist 8 years ago. My grandmother and my great grandmother were both in the dental field so I guess you could say it runs in my DNA! I love all things teeth and oral health! My journey with myofunctional therapy started when my first son was born. He was born with a lip and tongue tie and I immediately knew something was not right. I had him evaluated by an Occupational Therapist who confirmed his ties and we quickly had them released. I started learning more and more about the connection the mouth has with the whole body and how something as seemingly simple and mundane as the tongue can have such a profound impact on our health. I am so thankful for the opportunity to guide families through the process of rehabilitation and education of oral myofunctional habits to achieve better overall health!

Registered Dental Hygienist, Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist, Myo Munchee Certified, Certified in Buteyko Breathing

I grew up in Woburn MA and always knew I would go into the medical field one day. I started my journey graduating from Mount Ida College in 2003 as a Dental Hygienist. I have worked in many great practices through the years learning and meeting wonderful people along the way. Although I still have a passion for clinical hygiene, I have truly found my path with Myofunctional Therapy. I feel that the function of how we breathe, eat and chew has been overlooked and we need to change that. With my knowledge of the oral cavity, Buteyko Breathing technique and understanding how everything connects I hope to make a difference in the lives of people.

In my spare time I am enjoying the crazy life as a mom of 2 boys and wife to my amazing husband. We travel a lot for wrestling tournaments and good old fashion family time! I also enjoy baking and love going to try new restaurants.

I cannot wait to help support your family through Myofunctional Therapy!
