Her passion for helping patients achieve better oral function, healthier habits, and improved quality of life makes her a wonderful addition to our practice.

Hi! I would like to reintroduce myself. I’m Lori Eckhardt, owner of Buffalo Myo and a Certified Orofacial Myologist (COM). I’m honored to support both children and adults in achieving better breathing, improved sleep, and overall wellness.

So, what is myofunctional therapy?

Think of it as physical therapy for the muscles of the face, mouth, and tongue. Through simple, guided exercises and habit retraining, we help restore proper function—supporting nasal breathing, healthy tongue posture, lip seal, and efficient swallowing. These small changes can have a meaningful impact on sleep, development, and long-term health.

You may benefit from therapy if you or your child experience:
• Mouth breathing
• Snoring or restless sleep
• Tongue thrust or poor oral posture
• Orthodontic concerns or relapse

My COM designation reflects advanced training, clinical experience, and a deep commitment to providing high-quality, evidence-based care. It represents a level of mastery and dedication to helping patients achieve lasting results.

I offer personalized therapy both in-person in Williamsville and virtually, making support accessible and convenient for your family.

If you’ve been searching for answers, you’re in the right place.

🌿 Better breathing. Better function. Better quality of life.

A weekend well spent at Myosphere—surrounded by passionate professionals, meaningful conversations, and a shared commitment to elevating patient care.

There’s something powerful about stepping away from the day-to-day to learn, collaborate, and return with renewed clarity and purpose.

Grateful for the knowledge gained, the connections made, and the inspiration to continue growing—for my patients, my practice, and this field.

You better come… we need at least one person who actually knows the answers. 🧠😂

✨ “I got the magic in me…” ✨

Okay… maybe not magic 😄
But a well-functioning tongue? That’s pretty close.

Because when:
👅 The tongue rests up
👄 Lips stay sealed
👃 Breathing stays nasal

…things start to shift in the best way.

✨ Better sleep
✨ Calmer breathing
✨ Stronger muscles
✨ Even facial changes over time

It might look like magic…
but it’s really just your body working the way it was designed to.

And that’s where myofunctional therapy comes in 💙

👀 If you’ve noticed:
• Mouth breathing
• Lips apart at rest
• Snoring or restless sleep

You’re not imagining it—and it’s worth a closer look.
