Meet Erica Cavaluzzi

Owner, Oral Myofunctional Therapist

Erica Cavaluzzi is a registered dental hygienist with a Bachelor of Science degree from the Pennsylvania College of Technology.  Caring for patients since 2005, she is focused on full-body wellness with a strong awareness for the importance of prevention and early intervention. 

​

A personal health journey for family members sparked a strong interest in better understanding the importance of proper facial, oral and airway development.  As a result, she pursued further education and training in oral myofunctional therapy.  She trained with the Academy of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy in 2018 and completed the MyoMentor program with Sarah Hornsby, a globally renown therapist and advocate of the practice. To further expand her knowledge, she pursued courses on functional breathing with Dr. Dan Hanson and Patrick McKeown, developed a better understanding of how to address facial pain with Timothy King, and then became a certified MyoMunchee provider with Dr. Mary Bourke.

In 2020, Erica founded Facial Fitness and Well-Being, a telehealth oral myofunctional therapy practice based in Northern Virginia. She serves clients of all ages.

​

Whether the goal is to eliminate a habit (thumb sucking, mouth breathing), maximize the results of a recent frenectomy, or to assemble a dynamic healthcare team to support a patient's guided growth program, Erica is committed to and truly enjoys coaching individuals through their own journies.
