Myofunctional Therapy

What Is Myofunctional Therapy?

Myofunctional therapy is a structured, exercise-based approach that retrains the muscles of the mouth, tongue, lips, and face so they function the way they were designed to.
Through targeted exercises and guided practice, the muscles relearn healthy patterns for breathing, tongue posture, swallowing, speaking, and coordinated oral muscle function.

Myofunctional Therapist | Airway Health Specialist | Registered Dental Hygienist | 30+ Years in Dentistry

Over the past five years, my work has focused on myofunctional therapy within the broader context of airway health and dental sleep medicine, building on more than three decades of experience as a Registered Dental Hygienist.

Restoring the foundational functions that support healthy breathing, restful sleep, and balanced oral muscle activity is at the core of my practice. My perspective is grounded in decades of clinical observation and a thoughtful commitment to understanding what truly supports long-term health—often by identifying patterns and connections that may otherwise go unnoticed.

Why Choose
Myofunctional Therapy?

Many people arrive feeling frustrated and exhausted. They’ve spent time searching for answers, trying different approaches, or being told everything looks “normal,” even though their symptoms persist.

That’s where my work is different. Myofunctional therapy only works when the person guiding it understands how breathing, oral function, airway health, sleep, and dental structure all interact.

Services & Packages

Myofunctional therapy is offered in structured programs because meaningful, lasting change requires consistency and guided support. These programs address the underlying causes of concerns such as mouth breathing, snoring, restless sleep, tongue thrust, swallowing patterns, and unhealthy oral muscle habits through targeted, guided myofunctional therapy.

Therapy is provided as a structured program rather than individual sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is myofunctional therapy?

Myofunctional therapy is a structured, exercise-based therapy that retrains how the tongue, lips, jaw, and facial muscles function during breathing, swallowing, speaking, and at rest. It focuses on correcting patterns that contribute to mouth breathing, poor sleep, jaw tension, airway issues, and long-term compensation.

No referral is required to schedule an evaluation or begin myofunctional therapy.
Collaborative care is often an important part of achieving the best outcome. Depending on your symptoms and goals, I may recommend working alongside other providers such as a dentist, orthodontist, physician, sleep specialist, tongue-tie release provider, or bodyworker to better understand the full picture and support long-term success.
This team-based approach helps determine what will support long-term success—not just short-term improvement. Clients who are open to completing recommended assessments and working as part of a care team tend to see the strongest, most sustainable results.
Choosing not to pursue recommended evaluations or collaborative care doesn’t mean therapy can’t help, but it may limit outcomes and lead to frustration over time. Clear expectations and follow-through are an important part of this process.
All therapy is provided through one-on-one virtual sessions. This allows for flexibility, consistency, and access to care regardless of location.

Free Assessment is up to 30 minutes

Comprehensive Evaluation Session is 90 minutes
Therapy Sessions are typically 30 minutes
Therapy sessions are typically scheduled every two to three weeks, depending on the program and individual needs. This spacing allows time for practice, adaptation, and meaningful progress between visits.
Therapy is offered in structured 6-month and 12-month programs. The length depends on the complexity of the patterns being addressed, how long symptoms have been present, and how consistently exercises are practiced.
This is not a quick fix. Change happens through repetition and guided progression over time.

Nasal Breathing & Lip Seal

I help adults retrain consistent nasal breathing and establish a natural lip seal to reduce mouth breathing, improve oxygen intake, and support better sleep and daytime energy. Healthy breathing patterns are foundational to long-term airway function and overall well-being.

Tongue Rest Posture

I guide adults in developing proper tongue posture to support jaw alignment, improve airway function, and reduce tension. Healthy tongue positioning contributes to better breathing, improved sleep, and less stress-related muscle strain.

Sleep & Airway Health

I support improved sleep and airway health by addressing breathing patterns that contribute to snoring, mild sleep apnea, restless sleep, and daytime fatigue. Optimizing oral muscle function can promote deeper, more restorative sleep and better daily focus.

Proper Swallowing

I help adults correct dysfunctional swallowing patterns, including tongue thrust, that may contribute to jaw strain, teeth movement, TMJ discomfort, acid reflux, and GERD symptoms. Functional swallowing supports long-term oral stability and digestive comfort.
