“Dr. Hobson and her team are well educated in a variety of topics pertaining to breathing and overall myofunctional health and wellness. As an aligned health professional who suffers from improper breathing techniques, I found the Breathing Clinic that I attended to be a fascinating and helpful review of how I can improve my own personal health and how my patients can benefit from going to meet with Dr. Hobson too. I highly encourage anyone who might be suffering the symptoms of poor breathing form (snores, frequent yawns, sighs, fatigue) to go and see if they can learn to breathe better”

“Dr. Hobson’s energetic and tireless presentation on the importance and physiologic implication of breathing and airway obstruction is exceptional. Her teaching style is engaging and fun. She gives an eye opening appreciation of this most important life supporting discipline. As a dentist, I highly recommend collaborating with her as she understands how the mouth, TMJ, neck and upper airway connect to the rest of the body.”
