Myofunctional Therapy & Buteyko Breathing

Read Bio

After completing a Graduate degree in Organic Chemistry at the University of Alberta, I went on to work as Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Saint Mary’s University College. Once I had my two beautiful children, I took some time to spend with my family and enjoy the precious moments that go by way too fast! When I decided to go back to work, I realized that my passion was working with people in the field of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy!

As a member of the Academy of Applied Myofunctional Sciences (AAMS), I completed the Comprehensive Introduction to Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy and Co-Morbidities of Sleep/TMD/Posture with the Academy of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (AOMT). In 2016, I also finished the Introductory Training in Orofacial Myology at the Coulson Institute under the direction of Sandra Coulson. Recently, I received my Personal Training Specialist Certification and became certified in the Buteyko Breathing Method so I can help patients achieve better breathing and better overall health.

I believe that Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy is truly a dynamic and exciting profession that is critical in treating patients with improper tongue resting position, muscular imbalance in their face and neck, TMD pain, sleep apnea, and malocclusion. I am very proud to be working alongside my husband Thayne in an environment that is focused on helping patients gain the wellness they deserve. I am passionate about my career, and educating my patients on the positive benefits of having proper oral posture and nasal breathing.

In my free time you’ll find at the gym, walking my two dogs, and spending time with my family, as we explore Calgary, travel to new places and make incredible memories!

I was born & raised in Airdrie, moving away to Vancouver to complete my Dental Hygiene Diploma. I graduated from Vancouver College of Dental Hygiene in 2015 and moved back home to start my career. I enjoy being involved in this constantly evolving industry. 

Improving patients’ oral health as well as systemic health, while creating a comfortable experience in the dental chair, is a few reasons why I love being a hygienist. I am thrilled to be a part of this amazing team at Blunston Dental Group and work alongside Dr. Blunston!

When I'm not working you'll find me shopping, scoping out Pinterest for a brand new recipe to try or planning my next get away!

Over the course of my life, I have had the privilege of living in multiple countries and provinces and am proud to say I became a Canadian citizen in 2010.

Throughout all my travels, one thing remains the same, the need for quality of overall health and wellness. I believe the mouth to be the gateway for the body, therefore I strive to educate and support my clients in their journey of achieving the goal of obtaining and maintaining optimal health.

I have been working in the Dental field for over 16 yrs, as a Dental Assistant at first, then went on to pursue Dental Hygiene.

I pride myself in providing the best personalized quality of care to my clients. I enjoy getting to know them and their families and celebrating in their successes with their overall health and wellness. In the words of Jillian Michaels, "when you have the why the how becomes a lot easier". This is so true and applicable to all aspects of life. I enjoy helping people not only understanding 'why' it's important for maintaining optimal oral health but also providing the 'how' to get there.

Dentistry is ever evolving and changing, I am proud to be a part of a practice that embraces such change!

Greetings! I am Suneele, a Level 2 Registered Dental Assistant with over two decades of hands-on experience in the dental industry.

My career commenced in British Columbia, where I completed my studies at Vancouver Community College, initially focusing on pediatric dentistry—a field I am truly passionate about. In 2006, I relocated after meeting my husband, and we have shared 18 joyful years of marriage. Together, we are proud parents of three remarkable children. This year marks a significant milestone as my eldest daughter is set to graduate, while my son participates in competitive hockey. Our youngest daughter shines in dance and enjoys gymnastics as well.

Outside of my professional life, you'll often find me passionately supporting my son at the hockey rink or at my daughter's dance performances. My primary aim in my role is to ensure that my patients feel relaxed and valued, fostering meaningful connections with them. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet you!

My passion for dentistry started when I was 16 years old, after having my braces removed! My confidence grew immediately and I knew I wanted to help others get that same feeling. In my grade 12 year, I started working in a dental practice to gain knowledge in the field.

I went on to do my education at Vancouver Island University in 2014. The biggest thing I love about dentistry is that it is always evolving, and there are always new things to learn about.

Born and raised on the West Coast, I’m an Island girl at heart! However, I am very excited to now be living in Airdrie with my husband and our adorable rescue cat, Taco. When I’m not looking at teeth, you'll find me playing various sports, working on my next crochet project, or exploring the province we now call home.
