What is Myofunctional Therapy?
Myofunctional therapy helps children and adults create a proper lip seal, improve tongue posture and nasal breathing, and work on eliminating mouth breathing.
How can Myofunctional Therapy Help Me?

- Imporved moods
- Changes in face shape
- Improved cognitive function due to proper nasal breathing
- Reduced cavities from reduction in mouth breathing
- Pelvic floor improvement —the floor of the mouth is connected to the pelvis!
- Potential for expander and braces prevention in children due to the tongue naturally expanding the palate.
- Rehab before and after a tethered oral tie release
- SO MUCH MORE
Who is Myofunctional Therapy For?
All ages! As a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, Craniosacral Therapist, Sleep & Wellbeing Specialist, OMT via MyoMentor, and MyoMunchee & MyoMunchee Bebe Practitioner I'm able to create a custom oral function program for babies and kids that involves proper function, home care, and movement where traditional myofunctional therapy may not be applicable. Starting at age 3 or 4 and all through adulthood more traditional myofunctional therapy may be used.
Welcome to Myo Series 1. This series includes our time together for 6 sessions (used within 8-9 weeks). Depending on your consult, I may recommend a 6-week session to start or a 12-week session (purchased in two 6-week increments). The length of each visit may vary as you are allotted up to 40 minutes per visit but a visit may only be 10-15 minutes depending on the needs of your child. During these sessions we review exercises given, go over new techniques, and re-evaluate function.
