✨ Buzzing after a brilliant weekend in Liverpool! ✨

I’ve just returned from the 2025 TMJD Symposium, where I had the honour of delivering a lecture that was very warmly received. 🥹

We had such a rich mix of professionals in the room — dentists, speech & language therapists, breathing practitioners, TMJ therapists, and body workers. 🙌 I was humbled to share the stage with some truly knowledgeable and accomplished practitioners.

In my talk, I was able to share my journey:
💜 Elevating Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT)
🌱 The power of early, minimal intervention
💨 Why airway & sleep health awareness is essential in practice
📚 My volunteering experiences
🛠️ The YTM® Tool and our courses
✍️ …and even my upcoming book!

It was not only a fantastic learning experience, but also a wonderful opportunity to network and connect. Honestly — this is an event that should definitely be repeated!

And the cherry on top? 🍒 Reuniting with dear friends from our Dental Volunteering trip to Peru — so special! 🥰

🪥✨ Dental Hygiene + Myofunctional Disorders Screening ✨👅
A healthy smile isn’t just about clean teeth — it’s also about how you breathe, swallow, and use your tongue and facial muscles.

That’s why we now combine:
🦷 Dental Hygiene – clean & protect your teeth and gums
👅 Myofunctional Screening – check for mouth breathing, tongue tie, swallowing issues, TMJ & airway health

✅ For kids: catch issues early (crooked teeth, sleep problems, poor posture)
✅ For adults: uncover hidden links to snoring, sleep apnoea, jaw pain & more

💎 New this September: Rumana, our Dental Hygienist & Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist, is joining us at the MFT UK Functional Dental Clinic (Until, London) to offer this unique combined service.

📩 DM us or email info@mftuk.uk to book your appointment.

✨ One appointment = a healthier smile + functional airway check.
With love,

This August, we had the privilege of joining Dental Project Peru where we provided emergency and preventive dental care to local communities. Alongside treatment, we focused on promoting nasal breathing and healthy orofacial function—because oral health is about so much more than teeth. 💙

The smiles, the gratitude, and the connections remind us why we do what we do.

And our journey doesn’t stop here—🦷 Arya and I are honoured to be joining Dental Mavericks in Asni, Morocco this 18–25 October, continuing our mission to improve access to dental care and airway health worldwide.

🙏 We would be delighted if you can join us in this mission with your donation—together we can bring healthier smiles and brighter futures to children in need ( LINK in BIO)

Exciting News! 🙌

After months of finding the time and preparing, I’m delighted to share that I have sat and passed the IAOM written exam!

This examination was no small undertaking. It rigorously tests knowledge and clinical understanding in Orofacial Myology, and it’s evident how much thought, care, and expertise have gone into designing such a comprehensive and challenging process.

Having practised as an Orofacial Myologist for over eight years, I have long been applying this knowledge in my work. This certification, however, enables me to be formally recognised in the United States and internationally as a Certified Orofacial Myologist (COM®️), an important milestone in my professional journey.

I hold deep respect for the IAOM’s dedication to advancing our field and upholding high standards of practice. As the founding President of the British Society of Myofunctional Therapy (BSMFT), I understand the responsibility and importance of setting rigorous standards and examinations to ensure practitioners are fully competent and able to provide the highest level of care.

A heartfelt thank you to the International Association of Orofacial Myology for your unwavering commitment to the profession. I look forward to continuing to use this knowledge to make a meaningful difference for my patients and the wider field.

✨ Here’s to lifelong learning, professional growth, and raising standards worldwide.

When the muscles of the tongue, mouth, and face don’t work well together, it can lead to a group of issues known as:
Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) 😮‍💨
These affect far more than just the mouth!

OMDs can cause difficulties with:

🫁 Breathing
🦷 Teeth alignment & crowding
🥄 Chewing & swallowing
🗣️ Speech development
👄 Mouth function & oral habits
🍽️ Digestion (stomach & gut)
👂 Ear health & infections
😴 Sleep quality & snoring
⚡ Energy levels, mood, and focus
🧠 Concentration
💆‍♀️ Head, neck & body posture
👶 These issues are more common than you think—and often go unnoticed.

But the good news? They’re treatable.
With gentle, consistent Myofunctional Therapy, we help retrain the muscles to support proper breathing, function, and development—naturally.

In Loving Memory of Licia Coceani Paskay

Today, we honour the life and legacy of Licia Coceani Paskay—a brilliant clinician, educator, mentor, and friend whose impact on the fields of speech-language pathology and orofacial myofunctional therapy is both deep and enduring.

Licia’s journey began in Italy as a dental hygienist in the 1990s, where her relentless curiosity sparked a lifelong commitment to evidence-based practice. Known for asking, “Who said so? Where is the information coming from?”, she never stopped seeking answers—and in doing so, inspired generations of practitioners to do the same.

She earned her degree in Speech Therapy from the University of Padua, a BA in Gerontology from Antioch University Los Angeles, and a Master’s in Communication Disorders and Sciences from California State University, Northridge.

Her clinical work was as expansive as her intellect—treating patients across the lifespan with orofacial myofunctional disorders, dysphagia, and neurodegenerative conditions including MS, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s. Her co-creation of CogniFitness, a cognitive stimulation program for people with MS, is just one example of her innovative and compassionate approach to care.

Licia’s academic contributions were prolific—authoring over two dozen scientific publications, co-editing essential textbooks such as New Trends in Myofunctional Therapy and Food, Eating & Nutrition, and holding leadership roles with the AOMT and AAMS. As an international lecturer, she captivated audiences with her knowledge, integrity, and generosity.

But beyond her remarkable achievements, Licia was known for her warmth, wisdom, and boundless generosity. Her home—whether in California or Italy—was a sanctuary of kindness, laughter, and deep conversation. She gave freely of her time, energy, and spirit, leaving a lasting imprint on every life she touched.

Our hearts go out to her family, close friends, colleagues, and the many patients who will miss her dearly.

Licia, your legacy lives on in the people you inspired, the lives you changed, and the love you gave.
You will never be forgotten. 💛

👐 Osteopathy: Gentle Support for Babies, Kids & Adults
Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on approach that supports the body’s natural ability to self-correct and function at its best. By improving movement, easing tension, and promoting overall wellbeing, it’s suitable for every stage of life — from newborns to adults.

👶 For Babies
Gentle techniques can ease tension from birth, promoting comfort and healthy development. Parents often notice improvements in:
✨ Colic symptoms
✨ Unsettled sleep
✨ Feeding or postural issues

🧒 For Kids
As children grow, osteopathy can:
🌟 Improve posture and mobility
🌟 Ease growing pains and tension
🌟 Help with concentration and behaviour by supporting the nervous system

🧍‍♀️ For Adults
Whether you’re desk-bound or constantly on the move, osteopathy can help by:
🌀 Relieving pain and stiffness (e.g. headaches, neck, back, joint discomfort)
🌀 Supporting relaxation, reducing stress, and enhancing overall wellbeing

✨ A Holistic Approach
Our osteopaths work closely with ENT specialists, myofunctional therapists, and acupuncturists to support your family’s health from all angles.
