🌱 Breathe & Bloom with Kansas City Myo & Wellness

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy • Health Coaching • Wellness

👋 Welcome!
If you're struggling with issues like mouth-breathing, poor sleep, TMJ/jaw pain, migraines, ADHD symptoms, bedwetting, or crooked teeth—these may all stem from how your tongue rests, how you breathe, and how your facial muscles function. My transformative holistic approach addresses the root cause for long-lasting results.

Why Myo Therapy? 🔍

• Improve breathing & sleep – switch from mouth to nasal breathing, reduce snoring, support CPAP, and improve sleep quality

• Reduce pain & tension – alleviate TMJ issues, neck, and headache pain by resetting oral and postural muscle patterns

• Enhance facial growth & development – proper tongue posture supports wider jaws and healthier alignment, reducing orthodontic relapse

• Boost focus & behavior – better sleep and oxygenation support concentration, especially in children with ADHD-like symptoms

• Stop bad oral habits – thumb-sucking, pacifier use, tongue thrust, and more are gently resolved with fun, effective habit-replacement programs

Who I Help

• Children & Teens: with thumb-sucking, tongue ties, mouth-breathing, speech issues, or sleep disruptions

• Adults: dealing with TMJ/clenching, headaches, sleep apnea, neck/shoulder pain, crooked teeth, or digestive issues

• Anyone looking to optimize breathing, posture, and lifelong wellness through tailored exercises and lifestyle support

My Gentle, Effective Approach

• Integrative & holistic: we combine neuromuscular exercises, sensory re-patterning, posture training, and lifestyle coaching

• Flexible support: in-person or virtual therapy sessions to fit your needs

• Supportive guidance: hands-on coaching with tools, reminders, and encouragement—no guilt, just progress

Client Success Stories

“Myofunctional therapy with Kelly has been absolutely life changing. She is kind and attentive and always happy to answer my endless, occasionally very specific questions. The program itself is so effective - I sleep better and have improved my overall posture. I don’t notice any of the mentalis strain that bothered me before. So, so pleased!”

“Kelly helped me so much! I had jaw pain and headaches for many years. After a few months of working with her, the pain and headaches were gone. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I would highly recommend her!”

“I came to Kelly with severe TMJ pain and limited opening with my mouth. I had experienced this pain for almost 2 years. It had started to affect me daily and even when I slept at night. I sought out treatment with a physical therapist, which helped some, but did not solve my issues. The very first day Kelly did a myofascial release to help relieve some of my tension. I was shocked to have relief that evening from pain I had been dealing with for over 2 years. I was very impressed on her knowledge of overall health and how it affects our whole body. Her comprehensive treatment plan continues to help me everyday! I highly recommend Kelly for TMJ pain and would give her 10 stars!”

“We have been seeing Kelly for just over a year with my daughter. We quickly saw huge improvements in her oral awareness and the excessive drool she experienced. Since then my daughter has continued to improve her tongue function and her range and mobility has drastically improved. This has helped her night sleep and self regulation so much. My daughter is 3.5 years old and absolutely LOVES going to see "Miss Kelly." She is so patient and kind while still getting work done during sessions. We are now getting my son evaluated and started with care. Cannot recommend Kelly for your child enough!”

“Kelly's knowledge and expertise in the field of myofunctional therapy and related disorders is incredible! My story is complex in that I am a middle age woman who developed sudden, severe TMD along with a malocclusion that had multiple medical and dental professionals stumped. After many months of searching for answers, I proceeded with orthodontic treatment to correct the malocclusion but felt the need to add myofunctional therapy...if for no other reason than so say I had tried absolutely everything to heal. From my very first appointment with Kelly, I knew she was going to be an invaluable addition to my treatment team. Her initial assessment was incredibly thorough (more thorough than any dentist, oral surgeon or orthodontist I had seen) and she was able to answer questions that my other providers did not have answers for. I am only 5 weeks into therapy and am already noticing an improvement in my facial pain and tension. Kelly has noticed habits and dysfunction that can contribute to the issues I'm having and is addressing those. She has been so encouraging when I've been frustrated with setbacks (due to braces) and reminds me that healing is not always linear and sometimes it's "two steps forward, one step back." I spoke with multiple myofunctional therapists before choosing Kelly and chose her based on her credentials (she is a CERTIFIED Orofacial Myologist) and her confidence in being able to help me during my initial call to schedule an appointment. She is more expensive than other therapists I talked to, but sometimes you get what you pay for. :-) If you're looking for a myofunctional therapist, search no more!!!”
