Myofunctional Sarah

This beautiful little guy and his mom came to visit me today for a Myo munchee and to discuss mouth breathing. We tried some Myo tape with him and mom is massaging under his chin here to help get the tongue up to the roof of his mouth! I’m so excited for this little guy and his mom who cares so much about setting her little guy up for success. Reach out if your little one shows signs of oral dysfunction!

I have been pretty quiet on here with my summer holidays! But yesterday I had a full day of clients back to back and I’m so grateful to everyone booking in and taking time out of their summer to come see me! Your health is a priority and it’s so nice to see so many of you proving you know that too! Reminder: tongued up, lips closed, breathe through your nose! Snoring and mouth breathing isn’t normal just because it’s common! And bring your babies to see Corinne right away and see me by 4 months to ensure your littles are developing optimally ❤️ happy long weekend from me and one of my little boss babes who came to visit me at work!

Today I hiked with a six year old on my back and really needed to focus on my nasal breathing during the points of elevation. during physical activity is a game changer! Make sure you’re breathing through your nose all the time!

My twins couldn’t be more different in EVERY way! And myofunctionally speaking it’s no different! Look at Lenny’s tongue posture! She’s missing a tooth early due to a trauma but it helps you see where her tongue is: on the roof of her mouth! Asher has a significant open bite so if her tongue posture was correct you’d be able to see it too, but because her thumb is always in her mouth her tongue has been trained to sit in the floor of her mouth! It’s something we are working on! Check your tongue posture! Tongues up, lips closed, nasal breathing is the way to go! 👌👌👌

Always learning to support our clients better! Parents biggest concern when it comes to is usually but if parents are educated and supported to only offer developmentally appropriate foods, there is no increased risk when compared to babies!

Look at that straight up and down, no tongue spilling over and able to suction the posterior of my tongue as well! So happy I decided to do the release!

At Epione we have NDs, chiro, RMTs and an OMT all ready to work together to help you treat your headaches and improve your quality of life! Reach out to the clinic and Courtney can help book you with the best provider for your condition and goals!

Sometimes I use the kids mouth tape and I may not look sexy, but I’ll sleep better and live longer so it’s okay with me! 😜

The after! I gained 6mm range of motion following the release! I’m still very frozen so no discomfort really! Getting a good photo did make the muscles feel a bit tender, but no pain! I’ll update you in about 6 hours when the long lasting freezing starts to wear off! Now it’s important to do the post frenectomy exercises!

The before! I am at seeing Dr. Gaudet for a function release of a tethered lingual frenum! 🙌🙌 this is going to to be beneficial for my oral function, but also for helping to explain to my clients and know first hand what my clients are experiencing going through a pre/post frenectomy Myo program with me!

Sorry I haven’t posted any myo content today, I was busy crying 😜 my baby girls have graduated jardin and I’m one proud mama! 🥰

It’s sometimes a struggle to get your littles to do the exercises, but if you do it with them, they love it! 😊

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! Especially mine!

Mommy and Asher are working on their because we both have our appointments booked for assessments and hopefully 🙌 Asher also has a consult for early intervention for follow along to see how things progress! I am excited to share our journey with you!

Channeling my inner 😍 Did you know there is a correlation between foot posture and dental malocclusion?!? Good foot posture helps you maintain good body posture, your spine will be straight with your shoulders level, mouth closed; breathing through your nose! Everything in the body is interrelated!

Proud to announce I am a munchee certified practitioner! Please reach out to book your guidance appointment and munchee fitting with me!
