Wet kisses from your toddler?
Sore tongue after Valentine’s weekend? 👀

Let’s talk muscles.

Puckering isn’t automatic. It requires:
• Lip strength
• Lip rounding
• Jaw stability
• Coordination

If lips can’t close firmly or round well, kids often default to an open-mouth ‘wet kiss.’ It’s not bad. It’s not wrong. It just tells us their oral muscles may still be developing or they need some help to strengthen those.

And for adults?
Your tongue is a muscle. Limited mobility or low endurance can mean fatigue, tension, or soreness with prolonged use. So if things feel tight, awkward, or tiring… it might not be you. It might be your frenulum.

Functional tongues matter at every age 👅🤗

࿎ Happy V Day 😘

Wondering when to do your myofunctional therapy exercises?

✨ The answer: weave them into your daily routine!

Little moments add up to BIG progress — no extra “workout time” needed.

Consistency > perfection 👏

Next time you’re waiting, brushing, or buckled in… give those muscles some love 💪👅

Your future airway, bite, and smile will thank you 😄

Number one toy?! ⬇️
Mirrors 🤣 Alright I know what you’re all thinking it’s not a toy, but it should be!

Why mirrors are important when it comes to speech and myofunctional therapy. Kids AND adults need to be able to see what their own tongue, lips, teeth, jaw, throat, and the ENTIRE face are doing in order to be successful!!! Awareness is EVERYTHING!

Do you know what your jaw does when the teeth close, do you wrinkle your brow when your tongue goes up, does your ear twitch when you move your tongue from side-to-side? THE MIRROR WILL TELL YOU 😳

It’s instant feedback without needing anyone to “correct” you first. That makes practice more fun, more independent, and way more effective.

So yes, mirrors may not look like a toy… but in speech and myo, they’re a GAME-CHANGER! 💪

✨ Number one question I often get is:

What even is myofunctional therapy?!

Think:
🏋️‍♀️ Gym class for your mouth + face
😮‍💨 Breathing lessons without the recorder
👅 Tongue workouts that would make your dentist proud

Here’s the scoop:
Myo helps with how you breathe, chew, swallow, speak, and rest your tongue — because all those tiny habits matter (a lot more than you’d think)!

We work on:
✅ Tongue up, lips closed
✅ Breathing through your nose
✅ Swallowing the right way
✅ Strengthening muscles of the mouth, cheeks & face

It supports everything from speech and sleep to braces and palatal expansions.

Basically… it’s low-key life-changing.
And yes, we make it FUN. 💥💬

My awesome client just got a new wheelchair that lights up and sparkles, just like her smile! ✨ She’s now dreaming even bigger; helping build a wheelchair-accessible playground so every kid can play.
Check out her page and consider donating to this beautiful cause 💜

Thank you to everyone for your plant orders in Saskatoon! It’s been a busy and fun week getting all the orders dispersed! It’s exciting to see the community come together. Did you know there is no wheelchair accessible playground north of 33rd street in Saskatoon? This project will help serve many communities.
