How to become an Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist (OMT)

Let’s keep in touch

The field of Orofacial Myology is taking off. And we recognize that there is a demand for training and education in Myofunctional Therapy for Canadian and North American Dental Professionals. As dentistry's role in maintaining and improving airway health is becoming common knowledge, many Dentists and Orthodontists are looking to refer to skilled Myofunctional Therapists or integrate Myofunctional Therapy into their practices.

Myofunctional Therapy is an amazing field that has a connection to so many of the symptoms and health conditions we see in our patients today.

There is an ever-increasing awareness of how proper function of the oral and facial muscles are related to healthy breathing, chewing, swallowing, speaking and facial growth and development.

    “Absolutely loved this program! Kim and Kelly were so knowledgeable and kind. They were amazing with answering all our questions. This course really felt like the missing link in my pediatric practice. The course gave me not only very thorough OMT knowledge, but also fantastic business planning advice. Would absolutely recommend”

  • What our graduates are saying!

    I am very grateful I stumbled across the MyoCoaches OMT program.

    Thank you so much for offering such an amazing program. You are both fantastic coaches and mentors. I deeply valued the time we spent together over the course of the program. It was very inspiring, and you both continued to encourage success for everyone within the group. I wouldn’t be this far along in my goals or have the courage to push forward in this new path if it wasn’t for you both.

    From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything kim and Kelly. I have so much gratitude for all of the blessings in my life, and your program and amazing support throughout the last 8 weeks has been phenomenal! I’m excited to help others achieve vital balance for optimal health!

    With gratitude,

  • What our graduates are saying!

    I have been looking for a little over five years for a program that I would feel comfortable in doing, something that would work with my young family and my full time career as a Registered Dental Hygienist, and I am so happy that I stumbled across this one. The virtual course is layed out so nicely and is easy to follow. They add in extra helpful hints along the way as well! I could do the course work at my own time and own speed, and we all met virtually once a week to review and ask questions. It was helpful hearing others questions as they were the same as mine! Kim and Kelly really put a lot of heart in preparing this course and you can tell that they want nothing but success from their students! I successfully completed the course and I feel more prepared than ever to take on the world of Myofunctional Therapy. Thank you again!

    8 weeks ago I had little knowledge on what OMT was and I’m proud to say after just 8 weeks I am excited to start this journey with OMT and continue to expand my knowledge in the field. I was first interested after watching Kim and Kelly’s introduction video and how I was able to connect with issues mentioned personally. The program goes by quickly but you are able to go at your own pace each week and don’t have a scheduled time (except the weekly calls) that you just be on the course - this was important for me as it fit well in with my schedule. Kim and Kelly are professional and knowledgable in the OMT field and I am happy to start this journey with them as mentors.
