Charm Myofunctional Therapy

To actually wake up feeling rested instead of just caffeinating through the day. To treat the cause instead of masking the symptom, and to not need a sleep aid to get there. And kinda chic to work alongside other providers who get it, because airway health isn’t a solo sport. 🫁

Yesterday was the TMJD immersive experience at Evergreen Wellness. While I was there, I showed the attendees how I help to keep the jaw safe and stable during our myofunctional therapy exercises with two great tools. I thought I would share this with you all too!

I am teaming up with the amazing providers at Evergreen Wellness for a 2 hour immersive TMJ/TMD experience. Only 10 spots available! Learn how your breathing, sleep, tongue posture, hormones, spinal connection and strength all contribute to your jaw tension. Take home resources and a Q&A panel at the end is included.

This client was going to start orthodontic treatment, but braces move teeth—they don’t address the habits and muscle patterns that may be contributing to the problem. She had jaw pain and an open bite that needed to be addressed first. (We also discussed oral hygiene techniques to decrease the plaque and inflammation in her mouth).

Through myofunctional therapy, we worked on establishing proper tongue posture in the palate and eliminating a tongue thrust pattern. Once the tongue was no longer pushing against the teeth, the orthodontic treatment could work with the muscles instead of fighting against them.

The result? A significant improvement in her lateral open bite and the elimination of her jaw pain.

When the tongue, lips, and facial muscles function properly, we create a foundation for more stable orthodontic results and improved comfort.

This is why addressing function matters just as much as addressing teeth. 🤍

Mouth breathing is more than just a habit—it can impact your health from head to toe.

👄 Poor sleep quality and increased risk of sleep-disordered breathing
🧠 Reduced focus, attention, and daytime energy
🦷 Increased risk of cavities, gum disease, and bad breath due to a dry mouth
👶 Altered facial growth and jaw development in children

Your nose is designed for breathing. When breathing shifts to the mouth, the effects can extend far beyond the airway.

If you or your child frequently breathe through the mouth, snore, wake tired, or struggle with oral health concerns, it may be worth investigating the underlying cause.

What makes me different as a myofunctional therapist?

No cookie-cutter programs. Every treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and symptoms.

In-person, hands-on care. I assess more than just exercises—I look at the whole picture, including breathing, oral function, habits, and airway health.

Ongoing education. I’ve completed extensive training in myofunctional therapy, airway health, oral restrictions, and related therapies so I can provide evidence-informed care. I have gone way beyond the minimal requirements in education.

A supportive approach. My goal isn’t just to give you exercises—it’s to help you understand the “why” behind them and create lasting changes that improve function and quality of life.

Because therapy works best when it’s personalized, practical, and focused on you. 🤍

Your breath is something you do thousands of times a day, but the way you breathe matters. Nasal breathing helps regulate the nervous system, improve sleep quality, support healthy growth and development, and optimize oxygen delivery throughout the body. Small changes can have a big impact. 🤍

If any of these steps feel challenging, myofunctional therapy may be your next step!

I was at the AOMC myofunctional therapy conference this past Friday!

I was able to connect with speech therapists, lactation consultants, osteopaths, and dental hygienists who are all passionate about myofunctional therapy. The conversations around interprofessional collaboration and prevention were exactly the kind that push the field forward.

When we work together across disciplines, we don’t just treat — we transform outcomes for our clients.

Already looking forward to the next meeting!!!
