With over two decades of experience, Nicole has worked extensively with children of all ages to assess and treat a range of speech and language disorders, including motor speech delays, auditory processing challenges, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and myofunctional dysfunction. After observing transformative changes in her clients through the integration of orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT), she pursued advanced training focused on the relationship between oral function, craniofacial development, and airway health.
Nicole’s clinical expertise includes detailed evaluation and intervention for tongue posture, nasal breathing, oral resting patterns, tongue-jaw dissociation, and swallowing mechanics. She has completed intensive coursework in sleep-disordered breathing, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), and orofacial structure and function. Her work is rooted in neuromuscular re-education and a systems-based approach—believing that many root causes of speech, feeding, and breathing challenges are revealed through a deep understanding of orofacial form and function.
Nicole Cavalea, M.S., CCC-SLP, OMT, is a Breath Institute Ambassador and has completed training in TMD management with OMT considerations. She is highly collaborative in her approach, working closely with airway-focused orthodontists, pediatric dentists, ENTs, and pediatricians to build integrative, patient-centered care plans. She is known for identifying the “missing piece” in traditional therapy models—addressing foundational dysfunctions that often go overlooked.
In addition to clinical care, Nicole is passionate about mentorship and professional development, creating a supportive practice environment where therapists, students, and interdisciplinary providers can grow, innovate, and deliver the highest quality care.
“I had back to back appointments for my 7 yr old and 3 yr old from a referral from our dentist. Nicole took the time with each child, answered any questions that came up, and also engaged with each child on a more personal level. Each of my kids were comfortable meeting with her. She also took us into a playspace in her office where she was able to continue conducting her appointment. This space kept my 3 yr old engaged, when it was his turn, he was ready to go and sat down to get assessed.
If I had to recommend a SLP, Nicole would be the one that I would recommend.”

Hello! I am originally from the area so when I graduated with my Master’s Degree from Marquette University, I knew I wanted to serve my hometown community.
I love pediatric speech pathology because it is like working as a team with family members and other professionals to help each child achieve their goals. No day is the same in this field and I love that. Each child learns differently, so I strive to modify each speech session to each child’s interests and needs. This helps them achieve their goals inside and outside the clinic and to become functional communicators across all settings. I love collaborating with family members and other professionals to work together towards our goals for the patient.
“Did a great job with my son. At his first visit he was so comfortable with her he went back all by himself and it was a great first visit. Looking forward to more therapy and seeing him improve with from her knowledge and skillset!”

At Shine Health and Wellness in Pasadena, California, patients receive comprehensive wellness services for a wide range of health conditions. Kimberley Shine, MD, offers her patients unmatched expertise and extensive one-on-one care.
As a student at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, Dr. Shine was surprised to discover that the curriculum focused on each organ system separately. Her coursework also defined health solely through the absence of disease. However, Dr. Shine knew there had to be more to the practice of medicine than these traditional methods.
Dr. Shine realized that the doctor-patient relationship is the foundation of medicine. She understood that it's essential for patients to feel that they can trust their physician. In turn, physicians must listen to their patients and validate their patients’ feelings.
After spending more than a decade as a family medicine doctor, Dr. Shine decided to develop a practice that reflects her own values. She discovered integrative and functional medicine and quickly incorporated these core concepts into her practice.
Dr. Shine knows that it's not enough to simply treat symptoms as they arise. Instead, doctors must work together with patients to identify the root cause of their health problems. At Shine Health and Wellness, this close doctor-patient relationship is at the core of Dr. Shine's work. She takes pride in helping patients feel educated and empowered by their health care decisions.
Today, Dr. Shine is proud to be a part of a thriving practice that includes experienced nurses, a lifestyle coach, and a licensed acupuncturist. Along with the rest of her team, Dr. Shine strives to provide each patient with personalized, evidence-based medical care that improves their quality of life.
