Your Myofunctional Therapy Journey
Every patient's path is different, but every path starts the same way: by understanding you. Whether we meet in person at MyoAirway in Ventura or virtually from the comfort of your home, I'm here to walk side by side with you through every step of your airway journey.
Step 1: Consultation
We'll start with a conversation. You'll share your main concerns, and I'll explain what myofunctional therapy can and can't do. Together we'll decide whether therapy is the right first step for you, or whether another provider should come first.
Step 2: Comprehensive Assessment
If therapy is a good fit, we'll do a thorough assessment, split into two one-hour appointments so nothing gets rushed.
I take a whole-body approach to myofunctional therapy. Your mouth doesn't work in isolation, and posture plays a big role in how it functions. That's why my assessments look beyond the mouth to see how everything connects.
Clinical Assessment: A detailed look at the structures of your mouth, airway, and face, along with your posture.
Functional Assessment: A close look at how you breathe, rest your tongue, chew, and swallow, and how your body supports those everyday functions.
These two visits give us a complete picture of what's going on and why, so your plan is built on real answers, not guesswork.
Step 3: Your Personalized Therapy Sessions
From there, your treatment is designed entirely around you: your goals, your challenges, and your pace. Most patients need around 12 sessions, though this varies from person to person. I'll be with you each step of the way, guiding you through exercises, keeping you accountable, and adjusting your plan as you progress.
In Person or Virtual
Sessions are available in person at my Ventura office, virtually, or a mix of both, so you can choose what fits your life best.
