Client Reviews
Brittney: Tongue Tie
“Kimi was super great to work with! I had major oral anxiety and she was calm and patient with me as I worked through that. I also appreciated her help in finding me a provider who would give me a complete release. Thanks to Kimi and my release, I feel so much better than I used to and my tongue knows where it belongs. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for myofunctional therapy.”
Heather: Myo For Young Children
“I had so much anxiety about how to begin to correct the significant damages to my childrens’ mouths because of oral ties and mouth breathing. I was skeptical of just picking any myofunctional therapist out of a hat because I wanted someone who was specially honed in deeply to the complexities of oral ties since I had so many “professionals” misguide me before.
Kimi surpassed all of my expectations. Her first-hand knowledge and professionalism pairs perfectly with her big heart and drive to go above and beyond. She took my overwhelm and guilt and gave me actionable hope, giving each of my boys their own taylor-made plan each session. She was our guide through months of the rough waters of revision and post op, and companion in finding and interviewing more professionals for next steps. I’m forever grateful for what she poured out to our family.

Bryan: Tongue Tie & Tongue Thrust
When my dentist noticed I had a tongue tie and tongue thrust she referred me to Kimi for Myofunctional therapy. Kimi helped me identify bad habits and health issues I was having and how they were related to my tongue. Kimi helped me address these problems over several sessions. After completing therapy I have noticed an improvement in my oral and overall health thanks to Kimi’s encouragement and guidance.
Jennifer: Tongue Tie, Insomnia
Kimi is super knowledgeable and easy to work with! My orthodontist recommended that I complete myofunctional therapy due to my tongue thrust and tongue tie issues. Kimi eventually was able to recommend a local ENT for my tongue tie release surgery who was also excellent. I was able to work with Kimi pre and post frenectomy and it was extremely valuable and helpful. Through working with Kimi I was also able to correct my tongue placement and mouth breathing issues. I have chronic insomnia and my sleep has improved majorly since working with her on these issues. I would highly recommend Kimi!
Sabrina: Tongue Tie, Post Op Care
My search started when my 5 year old son was snoring and I thought, a little kid shouldn’t snore! So, I did a search and discovered that tongue ties can cause snoring. He also ground his teeth at night, rolled around all over the bed and talked in his sleep regularly. We started working with Kimi and she got us prepared for a release and helped us find a good dentist to do it. After that and some myo tape, the snoring and grinding stopped! Kimi was super fun for the kids to work with (my 4yr old daughter did it too) and was very patient and creative in getting them to join in the exercises.
Prabhu: Anxiety, Sleep Apnea, CPAP
Thank you so much Kimi for helping me with my Myofunctional Therapy. These therapy sessions have taught me a lot of good practices that I can incorporate in my daily life.
Simple things that you taught me like the way to chew, swallowing, brush makes a monumental difference. My bloating and air swallowing are improved.
Thanks for all those breathing exercises as well, These exercises have helped me with the way I breath during the day to sleep in the night. Will definitely follow these techniques and insights that I have learned from my myofunctional Therapy sessions.
Thank you!!!
Finn: tongue tie, restless sleep, ADHD
Kimi has been amazing to work with. She is very patient with my son who has ADHD. She was able to make an individualized plan that was tailored just for him and what he could handle. We started therapy before we went for a tongue tie evaluation.
When we visited the doctor for the consult he was very impressed with the work that was already being done. Kimi was very helpful post op as well. She walked us through recovery making sure the tongue tie wouldn’t reattach. Overall, we’ve seen improvements in his sleep, no more drooling, less snoring, less movement when sleeping, no mouth breathing. We’re thankful we had Kimi to walk along this journey with us.
Jojenna: tongue tie, choking, chronic tension and pain.
Just want to say a big thank you to Kimi for being my guide in obtaining better health utilizing Myofunctional therapy. I chose Kimi as I felt a strong connection with her when I saw a video she had made about her own journey and it was so similar to mine growing up and throughout adulthood. I knew because she had walked the road, she would have an excellent understanding of my struggles. I appreciated her enthusiasm, punctuality, and knowledge throughout my journey.
A big benefit I received was her helping me find the best dentist closest to me in order to perform the procedure. She worked with the clinic and together they all provided me with a wonderful experience. Any time I had a question, she would answer and provide help through text, email or Facebook. So happy to be in a better place with my health and to love and enjoy eating and drinking like I have never experienced before.
At the age of 53, life feels like it is truly beginning and I get a second chance to experience life the way most people do and don’t realize what a gift they have being able to live life so freely. Thanks so much Kimi, you truly are an angel here on earth. Keep helping people and spreading the word. Lots of kids like me cannot express how they know something is not right and all the anxiety and stress of not sleeping well is doing to them mentally and physically.
Ross: mouth breathing, alternative to jaw surgery, fatigue
