Helping Young Children

to overcome their communication challenges

I support children as young as 18 months in overcoming communication challenges by creating meaningful, motivating experiences tailored to each child and their family. My approach is rooted in compassion, expertise, and a deep understanding of child development.

One of the most common areas I address is Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy.

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that helps children improve habits related to breathing, swallowing, chewing, and speaking. It focuses on correcting oral muscle function, tongue posture, and mouth breathing issues that can affect speech, dental development, sleep, and overall health. If your child struggles with speech delays, open-mouth posture, or difficulty chewing or sleeping well, Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy may help support their growth and development in a natural way.

Addressing oral-motor patterns and habits that impact speech, feeding, and breathingβ€”often in collaboration with ENTs and dentists.
