What patients say

★★★★★

As a dentist at 360 Dental Care, I've been referring patients to Emily for myofunctional therapy for around 6 years, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. Her knowledge is outstanding, and her passion for what she does really shines through in every interaction. Patients come back to us feeling supported, motivated and genuinely understanding why their exercises matter. Emily is a fantastic clinician to collaborate with, and we're so grateful to have her as part of our patients' care. Thank you, Emily!

Cannot thank Emily and the team enough! They have been amazing with my 5 year old son, this time last year was a massive worry for us, our son was acting completely out of character, had night sweats, nosebleeds, swollen lymph nodes and more.

Since doing Myo he sleeps better, emotions have regulated and has next to no nose bleeds through these summer months, whereas, last year they were almost a daily occurrence. I feel like I have my boy back and I know he feels the benefits too!Thank you all so much❤️

When navigating the NHS with my daughter's health, it has been very reassuring for me to have Emily's advice and support. Emily has a holistic and functional approach to treatment and is extremely knowledgeable. She has worked with my daughter since aged 2, to help with mouth breathing, sleep disordered breathing and other oral function issues and has provided excellent care for my daughter. She really listened to my concerns, putting in place age appropriate strategies to support oral function and development.

My daughter has needed an MDT approach to treatment for her severe obstructive sleep apnoea and did need to have her tonsils and adenoids removed, but with a combination of surgery and Emily's support through myofunctional therapy, use of a myomunchee and other fun devices to support oral function development, her sleep apnoea has fully resolved and she has a normal palate width for her age.

Although we still have a lot of work to do to support further improvements in oral function, jaw development and oral sensory seeking behaviour, I have noticed improved nasal breathing day and night and improved saliva management. We are continuing to work on all of this with Emily through fun and engaging myofunctional therapy sessions and my daughter loves her online sessions.

It is very reassuring for me to know that with Emily's ongoing support and further myofunctional therapy, my daughter's ongoing oral function issues should resolve in the future and Emily can advise on other professionals to support this further if required. I would highly recommend Emily. Thank you for all your help and support.

I genuinely feel so much better than I did before I started my myofunctional therapy.
A big thank you to Emily for my thorough in-person assessment; I really felt like ‘the penny dropped’ finding out some of the symptoms I’ve had all my life were because of my tongue!
I really enjoyed my myo sessions with Natalie—she’s lovely, and I looked forward to my sessions each week.
I highly recommend going for an assessment with Emily. It could literally change your life!
