MPowrx Health and Wellness Products

Nancy Markley launched MPowrx by selling and marketing an innovative anti-snoring and sleep apnea device invented by Calgary dentist and researcher, Dr. Leslie Dort.

Most anti-snoring mouthpieces open the jaw with a hard plastic device and complicated mechanics that advance the lower jaw. But the Good Morning Snore Solution mouthpiece uses a simplified tongue stabilization strategy that moves the tongue forward to clear blocked airways.

MPowrx’s products are now sold in more than 85 countries and the company is currently working on a child version of the device. In 2016, Markley received the Startup Canada Woman Entrepreneur Award-Prairies Region.
