How It Works

Your First Visit:

The Comprehensive Evaluation
We begin with a 60–90-minute in-person appointment, during which we will:

• Review your detailed health and birth history

• Discuss current symptoms and personal goals

• Perform an in-depth functional assessment

• Take photos and videos to evaluate:

  • Tongue mobility and tone

  • Chewing and swallowing patterns

  • Muscle function and potential orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs)

You’ll receive a detailed report of findings, any recommended referrals, and a personalized treatment plan—sent within one week of your appointment.

Evaluation cost: $225, due at the time of service.

What Therapy Looks Like

Your treatment plan is customized based on your needs. Most clients see me for an average of 12–18 sessions, typically working with me for 6–12 months, depending on the severity of their OMDs. We typically meet every two weeks, with sessions lasting 30–45 minutes. During our sessions, you’ll be guided through exercises, and you’ll continue with 10–15 minutes of daily practice at home.

Four Phases of Therapy

1. Exercise Focused – Establish foundational muscle movements and proper oral resting posture

2. Functional Application – Apply those skills to more complex movements and tasks

3. Habit Formation – Reinforce consistent tongue posture and swallowing habits, day and night

4. Maintenance and Reinforcement – Support long-term retention and integration

A Collaborative Approach
Optimal outcomes often require collaboration. When appropriate, I may recommend working alongside other professionals such as orthodontists, ENTs, osteopaths, or bodyworkers.

Payment and Insurance

• Therapy sessions: $150 each

• A 3% surcharge applies to all credit card payments

• In-person and virtual appointments available for both children and adults

Insurance: I do not bill insurance directly, but I can provide a superbill with diagnostic and procedure codes for potential reimbursement. Clients are responsible for submitting and communicating with their insurance providers.
