What is
Myofunctional Therapy
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy consists of therapeutic exercises to strengthen and reeducate facial and tongue muscles optimizing their function.
Tongue thrust is a condition where the tongue presses against or between the teeth during swallowing, speech, or at rest

Highly highly highly recommend!!!!! I worked with Alyssa for the last year and she was nothing short of amazing. I have made so much progress. Renata is also incredible, her quick response to me and helping me sort out what I needed was why I ended up starting therapy with myo moves. My daughter who is 5 is just about to start!

Renata is very knowledgeable and helped me so much with prep for my tongue tie release. And having gone through the entire process of release and expansion herself, this makes her even more qualified as a myofunctional therapy provider to address the concerns of her patients!
John S.
Renata is simply incredible. She does 3 things exceptionally well. 1) Her knowledge goes far beyond just myofunctional therapy. She understands the root causes of issues and how everything in our bodies work together and has a deep comprehension of every cog in the wheel. 2) Her attention to detail is elite. From her discovery to her diagnosis and ultimately her recommendations everything is specific, accurate, and purposeful. 3) She is very friendly and relatable. She is not your typical hospital doctor. She fully gives you her time and attention and always has a smile on her face!

Yes. 100% of our patients are now online and we get amazing results!
Treatment can range from 3-4 months for adults and 6-12 months for children. But this is not a rule, it depends on the chief complaint, motivation of the patient, and if any other therapy/treatment modalities are involved.
We start with a consultation with Renata - photos need to be uploaded to the portal prior to this appointment. This appointment takes about one hour. We review all of the photos and videos and write a step-by-step recommendation for the patient.
The following appointment is a Myofunctional Therapy Assessment where we assess, breathing, chewing, swallowing, and muscle movement. Based on these findings we come up with a treatment plan.
The third step are your therapy sessions.
Key points are - good lighting and a fast Internet service (do a speed check on google).
After the consultation you will get a bag of tools in the mail that will be used for therapy. Keep them in a safe place. Items can be replaced with an extra cost.
Therapy appointments are usually weekly and last 30-45min. We make a few exceptions for every other week appointments.
