Jillian Watkins
Dental Therapist with Oral Facial Myofunctional Training.
I qualified as a Dental Hygienist and Therapist at King’s College London and have spent the majority of my career working within NHS dentistry. My early clinical experience included several years as an Oral Hygienist in hospital settings, supporting patients undergoing head and neck cancer treatment as well as children receiving orthodontic care. Working closely with patients during these formative years deepened my interest in how breathing patterns and muscle function influence not only oral health, but also conditions such as asthma, sleep apnoea, and overall wellbeing.
This led me to take the Buteyko Instructor course with Patrick McKeown in London (2019) (and further training in Integrated Breathing Therapy training with Dr. Rosalba Courtney in 2020). In 2019 I attended a post-graduate course with the Academy of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (AOMT) in London and became a fully certified Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist. I began to realise that years of poor muscle and tongue function had negatively influenced my own health and I was also able to identify and solve issues in my children's oral health. I undertook further training with Dr Zaghi at The Breathe Institute (2020) in tongue tie assessment. I completed training in Myobrace and Myo Munchee protocols.
I have an 18-month post-graduate diploma in TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Therapy and I am now a qualified manual therapist. I am also trained in scar therapy. I took further Myofunctional training with the AOMT. I trained in Dental Acupuncture with the British Dental Acupuncture Society .
My learning and passion are on-going. I have taken Vocal Health Education training in manual therapy for Voice and Swallowing dysfunction. recently I attended the British Society of Dental Sleep Medicine Members conference in London. Also undertook a two-day course in London with the American Board of Laser Surgery (ABLS) Certification course on Paediatric Tongue and Lip Ties, further in person training with MRC (Myobrace) as well as weekly continued development meetings and lectures with the Academy of Myofunctional therapy.
Poor oral function is something that I have constantly seen in the people I have treated throughout my career in the dental profession but now at Inspirewell, I am able to make a lasting difference to overall health.

Nadia Mohammed
Dental Therapist with Oral Facial Myofunctional Training.
Nadia’s journey into myofunctional therapy began with a growing awareness that the oral dysfunctions she observed daily were not only affecting her patients’ dentition, but also appearing in her own family members. This realisation sparked a deeper curiosity about how breathing, swallowing, and oral habits influence long‑term health and development.
As registered dental hygienist and therapist, Nadia completed her formal myofunctional training in 2024 with the Academy of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (AOMT). This training deepened her understanding of the vital connection between oral function, facial growth, airway health, and overall wellbeing.
Nadia has seen first hand how unresolved oral and facial muscle dysfunctions can contribute to challenges such as malocclusion, sleep‑disordered breathing and reduced quality of life. Her commitment to early intervention and evidence‑based therapy is driven by a desire to help individuals prevent these issues from becoming lifelong obstacles.
In March 2025, Nadia joined InspireWell, where she brings a compassionate, education‑focused approach to care. She believes that true health is not achieved by treating symptoms alone, but by uncovering root causes and empowering individuals to take an active role in their wellness journey.
Her work is grounded in respect, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for each person’s unique story.

Practice Manager & Certified Buteyko Breathing Practitioner
Louise brings a strong background in management and administration and plays a central role in the smooth day‑to‑day running of Inspirewell. Since joining the team in 2020, she has been instrumental in creating the calm, organised, and welcoming environment that our clients value.
Working closely with the clinical team, Louise has developed a deep understanding of the value of myofunctional therapy and the transformative impact it can have on breathing, sleep, and overall wellbeing. She is often the first point of contact for new clients and is able to answer many of the common questions people have about how myofunctional therapy and Buteyko breathing can support them and their families.
After witnessing the improvements in clients’ breathing function — and recognising similar patterns in herself as a regular gym‑goer — Louise trained as a certified Buteyko Breathing Practitioner, completing her qualification in the Patrick McKeown method. She now teaches these techniques through @breathe_clear_buteyko, helping clients build healthier, more efficient breathing habits.
