Restore your airway

With Myofunctional Therapy

Breathe better, live better
An integrative approach to better sleep, breathing and body awareness

Myofunctional Therapy
An effective, non-invasive way to treat these disorders:

  • Mouth Breathing
  • Nasal Congestion
  • Allergies
  • Asthma
  • Swallowing difficulties
  • Tongue thrust swallow
  • Bad breath
  • Dry mouth
  • Restlessness
  • Brain Fog
  • Chronic jaw pain/TMD
  • Sleep apnea
  • Sleep disordered breathing
  • Upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS)
  • Snoring
  • Laboured/difficulty breathing

How It Works

Think of Myofunctional Therapy as physical therapy for the face. It helps restore the foundations of healthy facial function and airway mechanics, including:

  • Proper tongue posture
  • Nasal breathing
  • Lip seal
  • Optimal chewing and swallowing patterns

When these essential functions are restored, many of the symptoms you’re experiencing can significantly improve or even be completely resolved.

Unlike medications, expensive sleep devices, or invasive procedures, Myofunctional Therapy addresses the root causes of dysfunction in a natural, non-invasive way.

Core Offering

The 6 month online program is designed to help people change lifelong habits (ex: mouth breathing) and/or improve a chronic health condition (ex: sleep apnea). Most people need 12-14 sessions to experience lasting results. Accountability and support are provided through 1:1 coaching every other week. During that time, you’ll learn customized exercises and techniques for your face, lips, tongue, and breathing, all tailored to your unique needs.

Live life in alignment
The role of the tongue

Your tongue does far more than help you eat and speak. It plays a vital role in supporting your jaw stability, head posture, and spinal alignment. When it rests naturally against the roof of your mouth (the palate), it acts as an internal anchor, helping to align the bones of the jaw, head, and spine, which supports your overall posture.

But posture isn’t the only thing affected.

Proper tongue position also helps keep teeth in place, supports a functional bite, and even contributes to nervous system regulation. By gently stimulating the vagus nerve, a well-positioned tongue can promote a sense of calm, focus, and balance. On the flip side, when the tongue falls low or forward (often from mouth breathing or a tongue tie), it can lead to feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, and mental fog, affecting every area of life.

Who is Kayla?
A story of reclamation

Kayla Fomin is a dental hygienist and myofunctional therapist specializing in sleep and breathing disorders.

After years in clinical practice, she discovered what she felt was the missing link in dentistry: myofunctional therapy. Experiencing undeniable results in her own life ignited a passion to help others at a deeper, more holistic level.

At her core, Kayla is a truth-seeker, lifelong student, and expressive soul. She enjoys singing, dancing and creating beatiful art. Her journey began with personal symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing, chronic allergies, fatigue, and brain fog. In her search for healing, she found myofunctional therapy to be extremely helpful and experienced profound results from applying the exercises and techniques. She credits the work with resolving her chronic allergies, improving her sleep, deepening her breath, and unlocking the full power of her voice.

Once someone who struggled with speaking up, articulating clearly, and feared public speaking, Kayla now speaks and sings with clarity, confidence, and a regulated nervous system. Myofunctional therapy gave her more than physical healing. It gave her agency, presence, and a voice she had long been searching for.

Because of the life-changing benefits she’s experienced, Kayla is passionate about helping others reclaim their health, breath, and sense of self through her practice, Mind Body Myo.
