Kristine Gatdula RDH, B.S. / Myofunctional Therapist
Kristine Gatdula was born in Honolulu, Hawaii where her parents migrated from the Philippines. She moved to Aspen, CO in 2014 thinking she should spend a winter season in the mountains and the love story goes. Kristine has been a Dental Hygienist for over 15 years and has a passion for wellness and contributing to the health of her community and beyond.
After graduating Dental Hygiene school in 2007 she became an avid Hot Yoga practitioner, National Asana Competitor and traveling teacher on 4 different continents. Her diverse experiences in and out of the dental operatory continue to inspire her personal and professional growth.
Her experience as a clinician spans from private practice, public health, school-based settings, and primary care integration. Kristine has provided care for infants to seniors that are healthy to medically-compromised in traditional to unconventional practice settings. All of these have shaped her individualized approach to patient-centered care. She enjoys working with each and every patient as they are and building relationships to inspire healthy oral habits for a lifetime. Kristine finds joy in seeing patients create their own awareness around their habits and observing how they progress through treatment to improve their health and ultimately, life.
