She is the founder of Bloom + Brighten Kids Dentistry in Portland, OR (with locations in North Portland and Tualatin), and co-founder of the Institute for Functional Dentistry.

The practice prioritizes biocompatible materials and the most natural treatment options available.

Options range from an email-based X-ray review ($117) to a full video consultation with a personalized treatment plan ($497), with a premium ongoing support plan coming soon ($997). Consultations cover cavity prevention and reversal, oral microbiome optimization, nutrition and supplementation, airway health, and product recommendations.
