Background

Oakland Myo and Wellness Institute is located in Oakland County, Michigan, with the entire multi-disciplinary team (SLP, OT, PT) specializing in orofacial myofunctional therapy, beyond individual interests and specializations. From breastfeeding, to snoring/sleep apnea, to high, narrow palates, to picky eating, or prolonged oral habits (thumb/finger sucking or pacifiers, etc), we have a clinician specializing in your area of need! Our team is trauma-informed, and passionate to help you find the care you deserve. Services are available in-person and virtually throughout Michigan and Ohio. Clinical Director Michelle Richards and Physical Therapist Kristine Lassen provide national professional development training for teachers and clinicians.
