meet the presenter
Dr. Mary Bourke is an Australian Chiropractor, Sacro-Occipital and Craniopath Practitioner with 27 years experience. She has a unique and experiential perspective on children’s health and development- particularly as it relates to oral facial function.The daughter of pioneering Australian dentist Dr Kevin Bourke, she grew up surrounded by his passion for human health and learning about the intricacies of oral facial growth, breathing and the origins of human nutrition. Mary has been in Chiropractic Practice for over 28 years and is a great believer in the synergistic benefits of working with other health practitioners in a collaborative approach.This belief in collaboration has been very much a part of the philosophy behind Myo Munchee and is critical to getting best patient outcomes for oral facial and cranial growth, neurology and function of the stomagnathic system.One of her key professional goals with both chiropractic care and as the CEO of Myo Munchee is to spread the word about the benefits of chewing and the denaturing effects of long term pacifier use.

about the presentation: Myo Munchee History and Protocols for Use

Dr Kevin originated the Munchee on an inspired insight—that how we chew affects every aspect of our health. Then he brought decades of clinical dentistry experience to bear on making and refining the small device with the big impact. Now, Mary Bourke—one of Dr Kevin’s six children—grew up chewing Munchee, and living first-hand the benefits. 

In this presentation, you will be guided through the history of oral posture and the many positive affect the Munchee brings. In addition to the benefits, you will also learn the protocols to using the Munchee and outcomes it has produced.
