S6:E49 - Dr. Mary Bourke: Myo Munchee and The Importance of Proper Chewing

My guest today is Dr. Mary Bourke. She is a member of Sacro-Occipital Technique Organization and has obtained advanced craniopath certifications. She has also been involved in the education and training of other practitioners in this field.
Mary has been in Chiropractic Practice for over 29 years and during this time, has undertaken further studies in many aspects of Pediatric development. She developed the Vital Babies Program for Mums with babies under 6 months of age to offer education and understanding of the factors that can influence optimal growth and development.
An area of particular interest for Mary has been in Facial growth and development and she has spent much time attending conferences all around the world looking into the different aspects that are affecting growth and development of this vital area.
Mary has undertaken over 300 hours of training in the field of Oral Facial Myofunctional therapy and, in 2016 with the blessing of her father Dr. Kevin Bourke, she took over the leadership at Myo Munchee with the intent of relaunching the product her father originally developed.
Mary’s particular interest lies in the early detection of potential problems for young children and addressing the underlying causes of Oral growth and development issues.
