My Biggest Myofunctional Therapy Mistake & What I Know Now
How I made a myofunctional therapy mistake that I wish I could fix…
As an early practitioner, I didn’t feel confident in my knowledge and skills, so I would often let parents “run the show”.
And by “run the show”, I mean I let them remain ignorant. Or think that they knew it all. Or I didn’t want to offend them by telling them blatantly that “Jonnie” had a concern.
Now, years later I am bummed by the kiddos who slipped through my hands. I could’ve helped more people!
In this Facebook Live video, I talk about 6 areas that I want parents to spend more time considering…
- Airway awareness
- Tongue-ties
- Tongue-thrust
- Mouth breathing
- Early ortho intervention
- Correct mouth posture

By now, if you’ve been following me long enough…you know my path of passion here. You know this stuff is on my heart like a brick and I’m here to serve, educate, and empower parents to make the decisions they need to regarding his or her child.
It doesn’t cost you a dime to make a free 30-minute appointment with me to talk about you and what you should do. Start. Today.
By the way, If you are like me, and you like to do some “me-search” before talking to a human. I get it. For that reason, I like to share my assessment tool with anyone who is suspecting myofunctional impairment. You can get the assessment tool here and it asks you 25 of the most common questions that I dig deep into during a myofunctional exam.
