Exposure can do wonders.

Embedding a variety of experiences with food in our everyday routine is a great way to expose our little ones to a variety of food items.

Before curbside pickup was invented, my now 10-year old loved grabbing the veggies and fruits (pictured above) while we went grocery shopping. It was a fun and enjoyable experience for the both of us.

My oldest daughter is now an adventurous eater and loves trying new foods, just like my husband and I do.

It’s not always that easy and it’s not just one thing that we can do. It’s always very individualized and there are many factors to consider.
It does take modeling, consistency, and what I am calling making a “good mess.”

What are some ways you like to incorporate exposing your little ones to new foods?

Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders or OMDs can be identified at any age.

OMDs can be caused by specific conditions and/or behaviors that impede the growth of our oral and facial structures. (More on this soon).

The interference of normal growth and development of our mouth and face affects our overall health as we rely on these specific structures to breathe, sleep, eat and speak.

Ever wondered what is Orofacial Myology?

It's all in the name.

Let's break it down:
Oro=Mouth
Facial=Face
Myo=Muscle
All of this = Muscles of the face and mouth.

An Orofacial Myologist, which can also be known as a Myofunctional Therapist, evaluates and treats the muscles of the face, jaw, tongue, and lips.

Why is this important?

These muscles help us to breathe, speak, chew and swallow….all the necessary things.

Inadequate use of these muscles can prevent us from: sleeping well, breathing appropriately,
chewing/swallowing correctly,
speaking clearly, and can cause problems with teeth alignment.

The functional use of our orofacial muscles allows us to achieve overall health.

Progress pictures!

Check out the before and after pictures of one of my clients.

What differences do you observe?

After a few sessions, my client has:
*Progressed with identification of
tongue tip to spot
*Increased lingual elevation
*Decreased facial tension and compensations

The combination of therapy and home practice is what makes all the difference. Collaboration is key!

I opened my mind, heart, and eyes to orofacial myology in 2020, and I haven’t looked back since.

I have dived deep in the past two years, but the learning never stops!

On September 5th, 2022 I officially became a Qualified Orofacial Myologist!

Orofacial myology combines my love of health & wellness with speech-language pathology.

Through my practice and training, I can make a profound impact in the way my clients’ breathe, sleep, eat, swallow, and speak.

What a dream to serve my clients in a holistic manner and get to the root of their concerns so they can truly thrive!

Hi IG family, it has been awhile.

What a beautiful and blessed year it has been providing services to families around the Spicewood area.

Aside from providing , this year has also been a year of working towards elevating my skill level and expertise.

I naturally took a step back from posting as it has been a dedicated time of learning, studying and growing.

I am almost to the finish line, and it is good to be back on this page to say 👋🏽

I wanted to start off with sharing some changes to the practice that are in effect immediately.

Scroll through the pics to see our new service areas and new hours of service. 📍

I will surely miss serving the community. You all made this practice grow and I am forever grateful.

Like they say, “Change is good,” and I am so excited to offer services to families in new areas around

Looking forward for what’s to come. 💛
