Myofunctional
Therapy
What Is Myofunctional Therapy?
Myofunctional therapy is a specialized, non-invasive approach that addresses how the muscles of the mouth, face, and tongue function at rest and during daily activities like breathing, swallowing, and speaking.
​
When oral muscles aren’t working properly, it can contribute to:
​
-
Mouth breathing
-
Poor sleep quality
-
Snoring or airway issues​
​
Myofunctional therapy helps retrain these patterns at the root level, rather than just managing symptoms.
-
Tongue tie–related challenges
-
Speech, feeding, or swallowing concerns
-
Jaw tension, clenching, or grinding

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU OR YOUR CHILD?
-
You or your child mouth breathe day or night
-
Sleep feels restless, light, or unrefreshing
-
Snoring, grinding, clenching, or open-mouth posture is present
-
A tongue tie was diagnosed — or suspected
-
You’ve tried other therapies but something still feels “off”
-
You want answers, not another band-aid solution
The Problem Is You Already Tried:
​
​​
-
Physical therapy
-
Speech or feeding therapy
-
Sleep training
-
ENT or orthodontic visits
-
“Wait and see” recommendations
​
But when the oral muscles and breathing patterns aren’t addressed, symptoms often persist.
Breathing, sleep, and function are deeply connected... and ignoring one piece can stall progress.
Imagine if…
✨ Breathing through the nose feels natural
✨ Sleep becomes deeper and more restorative
✨ Your child’s mouth stays closed at rest
✨ Tongue posture supports healthy growth and airway function
✨ You finally feel confident you’re addressing the root cause

HOW IT WORKS
Step 1: Let’s Connect with a Free 15-minute Consultation or Call
I begin with a complimentary call to make sure I'm a good fit for you and your family.
During this call, we’ll:
-
Talk through what’s been challenging
-
Review symptoms and concerns
-
Decide together if myofunctional therapy is the right next step
​
Step 2: Comprehensive Myofunctional Evaluation
60-Minute 1:1 Evaluation | $295–$350
If we move forward, we start with a thorough evaluation designed to look at the whole picture, not just one symptom. This includes:
-
Comprehensive intake and medical history review
-
Oral function assessment (tongue, lips, swallow, posture)
-
Breathing and airway evaluation (mouth breathing, snoring, habits)
-
Oral muscle function and tongue posture assessment
If you choose to continue, therapy begins right away, including initial exercises and guidance.
​
Step 3: Ongoing Personalized Therapy & Support
30-Minute Follow-Up Sessions | $95–$150
After signing up for therapy, we begin ongoing, personalized myofunctional therapy tailored to you or your child. Therapy includes:
-
Guided myofunctional exercises
-
Breathing support to encourage healthy nasal breathing
-
Regular follow-up sessions to monitor progress
-
Adjustments as function improves over time
-
Collaboration recommendations when appropriate (ENT, orthodontist, speech therapist)
Follow-up frequency is individualized and based on progress and goals.
​
Step 4: Experience Real, Lasting Improvement
With consistency and support, many families begin to notice:
-
Easier nasal breathing
-
Improved sleep quality
-
Reduced mouth breathing and compensatory patterns
-
Stronger oral rest posture
-
Greater confidence knowing the root cause is being addressed
Progress is gradual, meaningful, and designed to support long-term function.
