We Go Beyond “Just Speech”
Because Your Mouth Does More Than Talk.
Our myofunctional therapy services in Los Angeles and beyond support the muscles of the mouth, jaw, and face to improve everything from breathing and chewing to facial development, sleep, and even posture.
Restore Proper Function. Breathe Better. Speak with Confidence.
What Is Myofunctional Therapy?
Myofunctional therapy is like physical therapy—but for your face, tongue, and airway.
We retrain the oral and facial muscles to rest, move, and function in healthy ways.
This often looks like:
Teaching
Teaching proper oral resting posture.
Correcting
Correcting a tongue thrust or mouth breathing pattern.
Improving
Improving lip closure, jaw stability, and nasal breathing.
Supporting
Supporting picky eaters, thumb suckers, and kids with speech delays.

Why Mouth Function Matters
Your mouth is part of a bigger system. If your tongue isn’t resting properly or you or your child breathing through their mouth all day, it can affect:
speech clarity
dental health
facial growth
posture
chewing and swallowing
sleep quality
confidence
Communication
development of airway
breathing at night
jaw and joint health
behavior and emotional regulation
Our Approach
At The Speech Studio, we believe in treating the whole person—not just the symptom.
Our team is trained in speech therapy, myofunctional therapy, feeding therapy, and breathing re-education, allowing us to take a truly comprehensive approach
We go beyond quick fixes and ask:
“What’s really going on here?”
Because sometimes:
It’s time to connect the dots between speech, sleep, breathing, feeding, and growth—so every plan we create is tailored, effective, and built to last.
Why Clients Love Our Care
….and you will too
Parents tell us all the time:
“No one ever explained it like this before.”
We make the complex feel clear—and we include you in the process.
We’ll guide you every step of the way, explain how mouth habits relate to overall development, and make sure you feel supported in your progress.
We’re here to empower—not overwhelm.
“I had no idea that the way I was breathing, chewing, and even sleeping was affecting so much of my health. I always thought my constant fatigue, jaw tension, and occasional speech issues were just random or something I had to live with. Turns out, my tongue posture and mouth habits were way off.
Starting myofunctional therapy was honestly eye-opening. It wasn’t just about exercises—it helped me understand how everything in the mouth is connected to the rest of the body. After just a few sessions, I started sleeping better, my face felt more relaxed, and I even noticed a change in how clearly I could speak. I’m more aware of my body and breath now, and I feel like I finally have control over symptoms I’ve dealt with for years.
If you’re on the fence, do it. It’s an investment in your health you didn’t even know you needed.”
