What patients say

★★★★★

Emily has been and continues to be a monumental help to my child who has complex needs and suffers with a jaw that has locked. We were told he needed surgery to fix it and with Emily's help he's managing to open it once again and begin to learn how to use it again , with hopefully no need for surgery. He immediately took to Emily and trusted her which has meant he's had the most out of all her sessions. She's also helped hugely with his communication.

Emily was so helpful and supportive with our 7 month old baby. She reccomended plenty of exercises and shared with us a lot of knowledge that helped us so much.

Excellent service. Thorough and detailed assessment. Top quality coaching to learn the myofunctional exercises I required. I have personally noticed reduced TMJ pain as well as improved digestion.

I have been having myotherapy with Emily for 3 months now and the therapy has been a huge help with the swallowing issues and TMJ pain I experience. Emily is both knowledgeable and patient and she has helped me to understand the causes of my presentation.

Emily has worked with my 9yo daughter for the past 8 months and has been absolutely brilliant. I would wholeheartedly recommend her. I came to her because I was concerned that my daughter's consistent mouth breathing was affecting her teeth and her sleep, which was poor quality. She was frequently waking at night and was waking up lethargic in the mornings. Emily has got my daughter to completely re-pattern her breathing to nose breathing, which has affected everything - her posture, her energy, her sleep and now the development of her mouth and jaw. Now, my daughter sleeps soundly and wakes up refreshed and with energy for the day. It's a commitment to do the mouth exercises from week to week but Emily is so lovely and helpful and if you're willing to put in the work, you'll get the results. Emily is there every step of the way to help and really knows her stuff. I knew nothing about myofunctional therapy before starting on this journey, but it's been the best investment of time, money and energy ever - just do it!

Emily has been providing my son with Myofunctional Therapy, SLT and Breathing Therapy. She has been amazing in every way and every step. My son is one of most complex case, so seeing the light at the end of the tunnel is incredible. When we met Emily, no one understood what my son said, now they do. Emily has also a vast knowledge of learning disability, autism, so her explanations, demos and expectations were clear and achievable.
