Why we’re here
We founded The Hygienist Bar to make prevention personal: time to listen, clear answers, and care shaped around you.
We’ve included our personal email addresses below so you can talk to your favorite person. We look forward to hearing from you.
Tonya & Garrett, Co-founders
Tonya
Co-founderHello! I’m Tonya, a mom, grandmother, friend, and entrepreneur who loves pickleball, travel, and a good conversation. Life keeps asking us to pivot, doesn’t it? New chapters, big decisions, and caring for the generations on either side of us. You can reach out about any of it, not just your oral health. I don’t have every answer, but I love listening, sharing experiences, and thinking things through together. Call the studio and ask for me, or send me an email. You don’t need a perfect question or a polished story. Just say hello. I’d love to hear what’s on your mind.
Garrett
Co-founderHello! Traveling around the world has taught me to stay curious, listen, and appreciate that everyone has a different story. I’ve climbed Mount Whitney, scaled icy mountains, gone helicopter snowboarding, and walked the pilgrim route in Spain. I’m also an entrepreneur who loves working with my family. I bring that same curiosity to conversations about men’s oral health and everyday wellbeing. You don’t need to know where to start. Bring your questions, your input, or whatever’s on your mind. Let’s explore what matters to you.
Angie
Clinical Director, RDHLet’s talk! Oral care is changing, and I love being part of a team helping move a long-established industry toward more personal, prevention-focused care. Saliva, bacteria, bad breath, gum health: these are conversations I’m always happy to have. No embarrassment and no judgment. I want to hear your story, explore what may be behind your concerns, and work together toward a more balanced mouth. Let’s talk about how caring for your mouth fits into caring for your whole self.
Garely (GiGi)
Registered Dental Hygienist, RDHHi, I’m Gigi, a registered dental hygienist with 10 years of experience in the dental world and a love of continued learning. I want every generation to feel informed, confident, and comfortable talking about oral health. Bring your questions, there’s no judgment here. I’m also a Colorado girlie 🎀🤍 who loves Pilates, golf, snowy mountain days, traveling the world, and all things girly. Whether we’re talking about your home routine or your next mountain getaway, I’d love to get to know you and help make caring for your mouth part of caring for yourself.
Alex
Director of Growth & Strategic PartnershipsHello! I’m Alex. As a personal trainer, I love helping people connect the dots between their everyday habits and how they feel. That curiosity extends to oral health, because your mouth is part of the bigger picture. I bring that same energy to product innovation, sales, and building partnerships that bring our approach to more people. I love connecting with companies, exploring collaborations, and turning big ideas into something useful. Whether you’re curious about your wellness journey, our products, franchising, licensing, or a partnership, I’d love to hear from you. Bring your questions and your big ideas. Let’s explore what’s possible together.
Emily, Ph.D.
Scientist, Ph.D.Hello! I’m Emily, your Ph.D. scientist with a curious mind and a love for making science feel human. I’m fascinated by the tiny world inside your mouth and what it can teach us about caring for ourselves. Have a question about our science or products? No question is too small or too nerdy. Let’s make sense of it together.
Marsha
Biological DentistHello! I’m Dr. Marsha. I oversee clear aligner treatment at The Hygienist Bar. Aligners gently move teeth to improve crowding, close gaps, and address certain bite concerns. Straighter teeth can also make brushing and flossing easier, supporting your everyday oral health. I help determine whether aligners are right for you and guide your treatment along the way. In my own dental practice, I also focus on airway health and biological dentistry. When you need those services, our team can connect you with me for care at my practice. Outside of dentistry, I love mountain biking, skiing, traveling, and spending time outdoors with friends and family. Bring your questions, I’d love to help you explore what’s possible for your smile.
