Myofunctional Therapy
Goals of the Program
Our Program is appropriate for children, teens and adults. Program goals are individualized and are meant to create new healthy oral habits. The benefit of healthy habits can include nasal breathing, a proper swallow pattern, favorable resting tongue position and preserving orthodontic results from this program.
Positive Impact: With Myofunctional Therapy, a patient can regain the joy of eating, speaking, breathing, and even sleeping more soundly. Cosmetic improvements can help restore confidence and self-esteem. We believe that everyone deserves to be educated about myofuncitonal disorders and treated if they suffer from OMDs. We endeavor to increase awareness of Myofunctional Therapy amongst the medical, dental, and academic communities to support the acceptance and progress of this profession world-wide.
A Myofunctional Therapist will help identify the concerns and educate the patient on why treatment is necessary.

Testimonials
I had a great experience at Serene Myo! Stefanie really listened to my concerns at each appointment and helped me with my issues-a full sensation in my ears, TMJ, full sinuses. She was empathetic and explained the therapy exercises in an easy to understand way. I highly recommend seeing her if you struggle with anything related to ears, sinus, jaw, posture, swallowing, breathing. I was pleasantly surprised at how much progress I made during therapy, including in areas I didn’t even realize I needed some help!
Our children have had great results and improvements. Stefanie is so kind, generous and goes above and beyond to work with your family!
Deciding to work with Stefanie was life changing. She is incredibly kind, passionate about her work and professional. I’m very grateful to have spent the time with her. Healing old, dysfunctional patterns of the muscles of the mouth and face allowed me to have better quality sleep and a more relaxed nervous system. This led to clearer thinking, less muscle tension and less fatigue. Perhaps the most impactful aspect of working with Stefanie was her ability to kindly and compassionately offer a nurturing space through the therapeutic relationship. I highly recommend Serene Myo.
When I decided as an adult to get my tongue tie released and was told I needed to do myofunctional therapy before my release, I was so happy to find out that we had a local therapist in town. Stephanie is amazing and great at what she does. I always felt comfortable and at ease. I had no idea how much your tongue had to do with posture, neck pain and breathing! She was very helpful after my release as well and making sure my release went well! I would highly recommend her!
Stefanie is great! A delight to be around, and super accommodating. When I started therapy, I had terrible jaw pain. I haven’t had any issues since. And my progress photos have shown improvement in my posture, evenness of smile, and so much more!
I never realized how important the tongue and mouth working correctly was until my kids were referred to Stefanie by our orthodontist. She is great to work with and the kids have definitely benefitted from this therapy.
Personable and professional! We felt well taken care of and involved in the care we received. It is a blessing to our community to have Stephanie as a knowledgeable and approachable resource.
