MEET OUR THERAPIST

"Committed to providing patients with excellent care that is evidence-based, passionately delivered, and always thorough, I have been in healthcare since 2005 and take great pride in caring for my patients as if they were my own family.” - Jess

Born and raised in Lubbock, Texas, I earned a bachelor’s degree in Biology from Texas Tech University in 2004. In 2007, I graduated with a second bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene Sciences from Texas A&M College of Dentistry. I have received my certification in Orofacial Myology from both the International Association of Orofacial Myology, as well as the American Academy of Myofunctional Therapy.  While I miss the dental office, and helping patients manage their periodontal health, I only practice Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy in my private practice. This opportunity has allowed me to take preventive oral healthcare to its highest level; a functional level. I am proud to say I am one of two, Certified Orofacial Myologist in the Austin area that provides therapy to families in our local communities, as well as those living in the state of Texas. In my spare time, I am actively studying to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. 

I wholeheartedly believe our ability to breathe, sleep, eat, speak, prevent disease, and maintain optimal oral and systemic health  depends greatly on a healthy upper airway complex. That is why I respect, and get the privilege to work in conjunction with local Sleep Specialist, Radiologist, Otolaryngologist, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Orthodontists, Dentist, Physical Therapist, Speech Pathologists, Lactation Consultants, and other skilled medical professionals in the Austin area. Together, we get to provide comprehensive care for our patients. 

In addition to my career, I am married to Dr. William C. Cain, craniofacial surgeon at Austin Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. We are crazy busy raising our two children, Ella and Wesley. We share a Christian home, and a French bulldog named Coco Chanel. Our lives today are full of hustle and bustle; however, we consider ourselves very blessed to be able to live the lives that we do, and are complete the work that we love. 

"Having an airway centric approach to healthcare, wellness, and lifestyle can be simple, affordable, and achievable at any age.

 If you, or someone you love needs care, I would love to help!"- Jess
