A (whole)istic approach
It’s essential to me that all clients get personalized suggestions and services from The Tongue & Body Connection by working to identify the root cause of the problem. Rather than doing things the typical way, I’ve created a system designed around my clients’ needs with the goal of achieving and maintaining proper oral rest posture with a (whole)ilistic approach.
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy should be a comprehensive program that assesses the WHOLE picture to ensure the best possible outcome for you. In order to do that I will create your customized program based on your goals and needs by evaluating your orofacial function/dysfunction, health history, sleeping patterns, dental history, current symptoms and noxious habits.
I vow to be your advocate throughout your Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy program and connect you with other providers (Orthodontist/appliance provider, ENT, Speech or Feeding Therapist, Craniosacral Therapist, Sleep Physician and/or Release provider) when necessary that share the same philosophy.
