Kerry Braithwaite
Kerry has worked in dentistry since 1998, beginning her career as a dental nurse in the Royal Navy before progressing to become a Dental Hygiene Therapist in 2008, following her studies at the University of Sheffield’s School of Clinical Dentistry.
Alongside her career in dentistry, Kerry has always had a keen interest in health, wellbeing and the relationship between the body and oral health. She has undertaken further training in personal training, sports massage therapy, TMJ massage and dental homeopathy, continually expanding her understanding of a more holistic approach to health.
Kerry’s journey into myofunctional therapy began during COVID, following a brief but fascinating conversation with Dr Jamie, who encouraged her to explore the subject further and pointed her towards some books that sparked her interest. Her journey became more personal when she took her own children to Jill at Inspirewell for myofunctional therapy, giving her the opportunity to see the benefits of this approach first-hand.
Inspired by this experience, Kerry began her formal myofunctional therapy training with AOMT in 2023.
Kerry joined the team at Inspirewell in June 2026 but continues to works as a Dental Hygiene Therapist within a biological dental practice. She is particularly interested in the connections between oral health, breathing, the jaw, posture and whole-body wellbeing, and brings her broad experience within dentistry and complementary health into her myofunctional therapy work.
