Hello, I'm Pareya

Warm, expert help — from one parent to another

I'm a Registered Dental Hygienist and orofacial myofunctional therapist, and I'm the mom behind Happy Little Mouths.

For years I've helped families understand how little mouths grow, breathe, and rest. I've seen how much shame can surround comfort habits like thumb-sucking and chewing — and how much gentler and more effective it is when we lead with warmth instead.

Happy Little Mouths is my way of putting that professional knowledge into kind, practical tools any parent can use at home. Everything I create is grounded in myofunctional therapy principles, with calm nasal breathing framed as a soothing new comfort — never a punishment, never a source of stress.
