The Spot Pal Story
At Spot Pal, we're revolutionizing oral health by harnessing the power of the "magic muscle" - your tongue. Our journey began with a profound realization: the tongue, often overlooked, holds the key to transforming lives. This insight led our founder, Janine Stiene, to develop our patented, custom-fitted tongue training device that empowers individuals of all ages to achieve optimal oral posture, leading to improved breathing, speech clarity, and overall well-being.
Janine Stiene (MA, CCC-SLP, TSHH) is the visionary behind Spot Pal. As a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, Teacher of the Speech and Hearing Handicap, and trained Myofunctional Therapist, Janine brings over 24 years of experience to our mission.
