Where should my tongue be? 👅✨
If you’ve ever wondered how to actually place your tongue correctly… this one’s for you.
Your tongue should rest:
✔️ Up on the roof of your mouth
✔️ Lightly suctioned
✔️ With the tip on “the spot” — right behind your top front teeth
✔️ Lips closed
✔️ Breathing through the nose
So… how do you find “the spot”?
👉 Slide your tongue tip up behind your top front teeth
👉 Feel the little bump there — that’s the incisive papilla
👉 That’s home base for your tongue during rest, swallowing, and even sleep
Why it matters:
✨ Supports healthy facial + jaw development
✨ Opens the airway
✨ Reduces mouth breathing
✨ Lowers risk of snoring
✨ Improves swallowing patterns
✨ Helps stabilize the jaw + reduce TMD symptoms
Most people have never been taught this — and that’s okay!
Myofunctional therapy helps retrain the tongue, lips, and jaw so correct posture becomes natural and effortless.

How affirmations can help you breathe & bloom 🌿✨
Your breath and your beliefs are deeply connected.
When you repeat positive affirmations, you’re not just “thinking happy thoughts” — you’re shifting your nervous system, relaxing the muscles of your face, jaw, and airway… and giving your body permission to breathe better.
Affirmations can help you:
🌬️ Calm mouth breathing triggered by stress
💛 Relax jaw tension + soften the tongue posture
😴 Improve sleep by settling your mind before bed
🌸 Increase confidence, energy, and emotional resilience
🧠 Rewire the patterns that keep you stuck in fight-or-flight
Some of my favorites:
✨ “I breathe deeply, calmly, and with ease.”
✨ “My body is safe to rest.”
✨ “I deserve to feel energized and well.”
✨ “I am growing, glowing, and becoming my best self.”
Pairing affirmations with myofunctional therapy helps the body and mind work together — better breathing, better sleep, better mood.
When you regulate the breath, you bloom. 🌿💫

Are you swallowing correctly? 🤔👅
Most people assume swallowing is automatic… but how you swallow matters more than you think.
A dysfunctional swallow can cause:
✨ Mouth breathing
✨ Tongue thrust
✨ Crowded teeth
✨ Jaw tension + TMJ symptoms
✨ Poor facial growth in kids
✨ Digestive discomfort
✨ Even impact your sleep + airway
A correct swallow should include:
✔️ Tongue lifted to the roof of the mouth
✔️ Lips sealed
✔️ Teeth gently together
✔️ No facial strain, no loud gulp, no pushing forward
If you see dimpling in the chin, lips tightening, or your tongue pushing forward… it’s a sign your swallowing pattern may need retraining.
This is exactly what we work on in myofunctional therapy — teaching the muscles of the face, tongue, and airway to work the way they were designed to.
Curious if you or your child are swallowing correctly?

I’ve watched so many people struggle with sleep, jaw pain, mouthbreathing, and low energy—only to be handed temporary solutions.
My why is changing that.
I’m here to help people understand why their symptoms are happening…
and to guide them toward long-term results through root-cause airway and habit work.
This work is deeper than the mouth—it's about the whole person.

Hiking in Salt Lake reminded me how powerful calm, nasal breathing can be.
Your daytime breath becomes your nighttime breath — and it can be the difference between tossing all night or waking up energized.
Your airway is your foundation.

😣 Jaw pain isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Understanding what kind of pain you’re feeling is the first step toward lasting relief.
Here are the main types 👇
🦷 Myofascial pain – from overworked or tight muscles (often linked to clenching, grinding, or poor oral rest posture)
🦴 Arthritic / Articular pain – from inflammation or changes within the jaw joint itself (TMJ)
⚡️ Neuralgic pain – nerve-related, often sharp, electric, or radiating
👉 Many people experience a combination of these — that’s why a personalized approach matters.
Myofunctional therapy can help address muscle imbalance, improve jaw stability, and support long-term comfort.
