What is Bruxism?
Bruxism, commonly known as teeth grinding or jaw clenching, is a condition where individuals involuntarily grind their teeth or clench their jaw. This can occur during the day (awake bruxism) or at night (sleep bruxism). Over time, bruxism can lead to a variety of health issues, including tooth damage, jaw pain, headaches, and sleep disturbances.
Historically, there have been few bruxism relief solutions available, and no comprehensive teeth grinding relief program that addresses the needs of mind and body.... until now!

Just book one of our 1:1 hypnosis sessions and you'll get same-day delivery on the day of your session, no matter where you are in the world.
Mouthguards and Splints:
Custom-fitted mouthguards can protect teeth from grinding during sleep. Dental splints help to align the jaw and reduce muscle tension and jaw clenching.
We can make you one inside your own mind with targeted hypnosis.
Stress Management:
Techniques such as yoga, meditation, hypnotherapy and deep breathing exercises reduce stress and anxiety, which are common triggers for bruxism.
Behavioral Therapy:
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help individuals manage stress and develop healthier coping mechanisms, as well as learning new coping techniques, mind shifts with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and hypnotherapy to realign mind-body connection and stress relief mechanisms.
Medications:
Muscle relaxants, anti-anxiety medications, and other prescriptions may be used to manage symptoms in severe cases.
Hypnosis is also well known for dental anesthesia and pain management, including during and after surgery. The most powerful solution is inside our own head!
Lifestyle Changes:
Reducing the intake of stimulants like caffeine and avoiding alcohol and tobacco can help decrease bruxism episodes.
Stress management is a critical factor.

Hi, I'm Kelly.
Recovering Tooth Grinder. Certified Hypnotist.
After decades of searching for solutions to the headaches, neck tension, and damage suffered by grinding my teeth at night, I assembled a toolkit that works for bruxism, drawing on hypnotherapy, facial yoga, guided meditation for relaxation, and some very simple yet powerfully effective neurosomatic techniques that quickly relieve stress and anxiety, and allow that jaw to finally relax.
The true beauty of every solution that I share here, besides the obvious relief from grinding teeth, is that the only side effects I have had are feelings of more clarity, deeper purpose, overall positive energy, and more contented fulfillment in all aspects of my life.
Now I’ve put it all together, here in one app, free of annoying advertisements, for you.
Because you need a holistic approach, addressing both the immediately obvious and more deeply hidden emotional aspects of jaw tension and ongoing damage. And having to skip an ad every few mintues is a real drag. Here you'll find a supportive, compassionate, and empowering space for you to discover how to access your own freedom from the need to grind and clench.
These meditations and tools are offered freely for you to embark on your journey of wellness. If you enjoy them, please support us with a premium subscription or program purchase. And we're very grateful when you share the word with anyone and everyone who could also benefit from being free of the pain and damage of grinding the teeth.
