What is Myofunctional therapy?
Myofunctional therapy for adults focuses on improving the function and coordination of the muscles in the mouth, face, and throat. It is a non-invasive therapy that addresses issues related to breathing, swallowing, chewing, speaking, and overall oral and facial muscle function. Learn about the benefits it provides for your health.
Improves Breathing and Airway Health
Promotes nasal breathing over mouth breathing, which is healthier and supports better oxygenation.
Helps address sleep-related disorders, such as snoring or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), by improving tongue posture and airway function.

Karen is professional, warm and innovative. She taught me tangible exercises/techniques that were easy to adapt to my daily hygiene routines. I appreciate Karen’s direct approach, while also understanding my specific needs. Highly recommend.

I first heard about Karen from my dentist. My dentist sent me a referral to see Karen because she thought I had a tongue tie and was thrusting my tongue when I talked. I previously had top and bottom jaw surgery to correct an open bite. I did not know that it is recommended to complete OMT before and afterwards to help correct your previous bad habits. My open bite that was fixed started to come back because of my tongue placement. Who knew that would happen!? Karen was so patient and so knowledgeable. She had me take photos in the beginning so that she could see what treatment plan would be the best. Karen tailors each treatment to individual needs. She helped me strengthen my facial and tongue muscles so that I could prevent more damage from happening. My open bite has even reversed and gotten smaller since I started working with Karen and completing her exercises. My face is no longer strained to keep my lips together and I am using the correct facial muscles instead of using my jaw to compensate. I completed this treatment in about 12 sessions and it was so worth it! I would really recommend Breath and Beyond Myo! It has really changed how I eat and swallow for the better. Also, it helped streamline my jaw line and made my cheekbones more pronounced, now that I have strengthened my facial muscles

Karen is fantastic! When I finally decided to start myofunctional therapy with her I wondered why I hadn't done it sooner. She makes the whole process seem manageable by breaking it down into weekly, attainable exercises and goals. She stays current with the latest teachings and adjusts her treatment plans to be cutting edge. The results have been amazing and I couldn't recommend her more. If you're thinking about it, just reach out to her and get started!
