You wake up with jaw tension, headaches or clench your teeth… but no one has explained why.
You’ve tried night guards, splints, chiropractors, massage, maybe even Botox… but the tension keeps coming back.
This is where we figure out what’s actually going on.
Chronic Facial Pain Isn’t Normal.
Hey, I'm Myrlene!
Certified Massage Therapist, Kinesitherapist, Orthotherapist and trained Myofunctional Therapist
I spent years dealing with jaw pain, clenching, daily headaches and over 10 TMJ-related symptoms.
I tried multiple approaches… but nothing gave lasting relief.
That’s what led me to this work.
Today, I help people understand how their tongue, jaw, breathing and posture are all connected and how to retrain them so the body can finally stop compensating.
This is for you if:
You clench or grind your teeth (especially at night)
You wake up with jaw pain, headaches or neck tension
You feel like something deeper is causing your symptoms
You’ve tried things but nothing has fully worked

Postural imbalances affecting the jaw and face

Poor sleep, snoring, UArs, sleep apnea
Mouth breathing
Structured guidance to restore proper muscle function and relieve chronic tension at its root.
Program Duration
Around 6-12 months depending on pace, practice, consistency, progress and individual needs. *The program may extend slightly if a tongue-tie release or other collaboration is needed.
What actually changes when you address the root cause
Improved tongue and jaw coordination
Reduced clenching and chronic tension
Better nasal breathing and body posture
A clear understanding of your dysfunctions and how to manage them
Greater autonomy over your health, body, and comfort
Why This Program Works:
Most approaches focus on managing symptoms.
This approach focuses on understanding why they’re happening.
It’s not a quick fix — it’s retraining your muscles to work the way they are meant to.
Rather than just “relaxing the jaw,” we address the true muscle, breathing, posture, and behavioral patterns that keep you stuck in pain.
This is how you go from daily dysfunction to confident control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What results can I expect?
A: Clients typically notice improved jaw comfort, better posture, reduced muscle tension, and easier breathing with consistent participation over several months.
Q: Is this guaranteed to fix my TMJD?
A: Everybody responds differently. My focus is on restoring muscle function and empowering you with tools, support and guiding you in the right direction to reduce your symptoms.
Q: What are the main goals of Myofunctional Therapy?
A: Myofunctional Therapy focuses on restoring four key functions:
Correct tongue posture (resting against the palate)
Lips sealed at rest
Nasal breathing
Proper swallowing pattern
And optimally all day and night!
Q: Is this the same as physical therapy for the jaw?
A: While it has similarities, Myofunctional Therapy is more focused on oral and facial muscle coordination, tongue position, breathing, and habits that affect can affect TMD, facial tension and sleep disorder breathing.
Q: Is this therapy just for people with TMJ pain?
A: No — it’s also helpful for people dealing with teeth clenching, mouth breathing, low tongue posture, tethered oral tissues, tongue thrust, chronic tension, headaches, sleep issues, and even postural problems related to the jaw.
Q: Do I need a diagnosis to start?
A: No. Many clients come in without a formal diagnosis but with symptoms. If I think you need a medical referral, I’ll let you know and help you find other providers in your area.
Q: Will I have to do exercises every day?
A: Yes — but it’s simple. About 5 minutes, twice a day for the myofunctional exercises. Consistency is what brings results. I may suggest additional practices throughout the program to complement your progress.
Q: What if I need a tongue-tie release?
A: If we determine a release is needed, I’ll help guide you through the process and connect you with appropriate providers in your area.
Q: Is this covered by insurance?
