What Our Patients Say
Real results from real patients — breathing better, sleeping better, living better.
I had a discovery call with Emily, as I wasn't sure if my little boy was too young to benefit from myofunctional therapy. Emily took an incredibly detailed history, and has gone over a lot of recommendations and advice for things we can be doing for the next year or so, until he's a little older and can do more advanced exercises. It was an incredibly beneficial call and I'm SO glad I did it.
Emily is a very engaging and knowledgeable practitioner, and my 6 year old daughter was so excited each week to meet her online. The clever little games and the bag of myo goodies captured my daughter’s interest and we enjoyed doing the myofunctional exercises together each week. Emily constantly adapted them to meet her needs, and kept it interesting and fun. My daughter no longer grinds her teeth or wakes in the night, and the visible changes to her face have been remarkable in such a short space of time! It had also been a great education for me too - learning just how much the placement of your tongue impacts your whole life. We are so grateful to have worked with Emily and look forward to our daughter reaping the benefits of a better developed jaw and palate as a result of the work we have done together. Thank you so much Emily!
Breathe First have been brilliant. Emily and Maureen have been working with my 17 year old son who, due to unresolved tongue-tie, has overcrowding and is wearing an ALF. The myofunctional exercises that he's been doing have made a huge difference to his tongue position, how he eats, how he breathes, his posture and even his sleep. The power of myofunctional therapy has been a revelation and I'm so glad Breathe First were recommended by our dentist. Emily and Maureen have so much knowledge and experience and are also really lovely people. I can't recommend them highly enough.
Emily has helped my daughter progress with her myofacial journey over the past 5 months with phenomenal results. Her face has transformed in this time, her sleep has improved and her resting habits have changed to support and adopt a safe position for her growth and development. Emily is always so warm, kind and supportive during the sessions and her knowledge in this field is second to none. I'd highly recommend Emily to anyone who is considering myofunctional therapy for themselves or their children.
I have found some of the exercises you shared in the webinar to be impactful! For example, after I started doing them for a week or two my sleep improved (if I wake up in the night to pee I fall back to sleep more easily). Also, people have been saying the last month or two that the resonance of my singing voice has grown and while that could be from a combo of things, it still points to progress.
Emily has been such a help in bringing our young son on through his reception and 1st year. Patient, understanding and adaptable. Highly recommend
We came to Emily very concerned about our son’s excessive dribbling that he’d presented with since 4 months old (now nearly 4). He needed hourly bib changes and had very sore skin. She told us that she predicted within 6 appts we would see a huge difference. We were sceptical, only because of how bad it was. Needless to say it was our 6th appt today and we have finished his sessions because the dribble is pretty much gone! She is so knowledgeable and identified where the problem lay straight away. The online sessions were fun and engaging for him despite his young age and she gave us suitable and age appropriate equipment to be able to do the exercises in between each session. We couldn’t be more grateful and will be recommending Emily and myofunctional therapy to everyone. Thankyou!
My daughter has made amazing progress, from her first appointment in person Emily gained her trust and my daughter came away happy to do as she was asked. She loves her online sessions with Emily. Emily manages to keep her engaged and explains what she would like her to do really clearly and patiently. She understands when she seems nervous and works with her to bring her round. Her progress in a short time is amazing she’s sleeping better, is calmer and we can see a change in her mouth already. Thank you
Highly recommend Breathe First for their myofunctional therapy services and their general approach. Our experience with them has outstanding. We traveled 4 hours to their clinic and I’m so glad that we did. The assessment was very professional, personal and detailed. Emily was extremely knowledgeable, answered all our questions and was brilliant with our little girl. It’s a real eye opening assessment and we’re really grateful for their services, there’s not many in the UK that provide them. Thank you so much! We’re looking forward to continuing with the sessions! :)
Emily has been such a gift to our family. She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, patient, and able to work around all of my child’s individual needs. From the very beginning she made them feel comfortable and understood. I struggle with mouth breathing myself, not realising until my mid 20s that it wasn’t correct and that it was one of the reasons my sleep was so disturbed. When my child was born I noticed early on that they often had their mouth open too, so finding Emily felt like the missing piece we needed. In just a short time we’ve already seen visible changes. Their palate is now wider and their tongue naturally rests in a better position. Life has been busy and we haven’t always managed to do the exercises as often as we’d like, so it’s been such a lovely surprise to see this progress already. Emily is open minded and has worked in unison with other professionals involved in my child’s care, including our herbalist. Her approach has always been about finding what works for the whole person, not just focusing on one area in isolation. This is the first professional who has worked so closely with my child and we feel truly blessed to have met Emily and had such a positive, supportive experience.
