Breathe Better.
Sleep Deeper.
Thrive Naturally.
Personalized Myofunctional, Speech, and Buteyko Therapy for children and adults — restoring natural breathing patterns, optimizing oral function, and supporting long-term structural health.
For those ready to resolve the root cause — not just manage the symptoms.
Your Airway Impacts More Than You Think:
Early Signs:
Mouth breathing
Snoring
Teeth grinding
Restless sleep
Tongue-tie concerns
Speech delays
Open-mouth posture
Bedwetting
Digestive Issues
Long-Term Patterns:
TMJ or jaw pain
Clenching
Difficulty swallowing
Chronic mouth breathing
Poor sleep quality
Fatigue
Sleep apnea support
Orthodontic relapse
These symptoms are often connected — and they frequently trace back to how we breathe, rest, and use the muscles of the face and airway.
Healthy breathing is the foundation. When the airway functions well, the rest of the body follows.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The first step is scheduling a comprehensive evaluation. This allows us to assess airway, breathing, oral function, and/or speech patterns and determine the most appropriate care plan. Any questions prior to scheduling, we can set up a free 15- min discovery call.
-
Length of care varies depending on individual goals, structural considerations, and consistency with home practice. Most therapy programs range between approximately 8–12 sessions, though some clients may require fewer or additional visits to reach optimal functional stability. Timeframes between 3- 12 months are average.
-
Yes. We frequently collaborate with orthodontists and release providers. Functional therapy is typically recommended before and/or after expansion, braces, or frenuloplasty procedures to support proper integration and long-term stability.
-
MyoMovement is a fee-for-service practice, meaning services are typically paid out of pocket. However, we can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan and is not guaranteed.
Initial evaluations generally range from $225–$375, depending on the type and complexity of the assessment.
Therapy programs are customized for each patient, and package options are available. In many cases, a full therapy program costs significantly less than traditional orthodontic treatment, often around one-third the cost of braces.
If you have questions about pricing or reimbursement options, our team is happy to help guide you through the process.
-
Yes! Many of our services are available virtually depending on the type of evaluation or therapy and individual needs. Virtual sessions allow us to support clients both locally and outside of the Charlotte area. Care remains structured, interactive, and goal-oriented — just like our in-office sessions.

I’m so happy I found Ashley with MyoMovement! My husband was having significant snoring issues - Ashley was first able to identify issues with how his tongue rests in his mouth and a variety of symptoms and issues we didn’t even realize were related. She made a treatment plan and we noticed improvements shortly after therapy began. We are so happy with the improvement of sleep and overall health - we tell all of our friends!

Ashley is incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating, and excellent with kids. Our daughter has been working with her for only about a month and she’s already had measurable expansion in her upper palate. She’s even made herself available to us outside of appointments to help with problems we’re experiencing with some recent orthodontic work. Highly recommend.

MyoMovement is also fantastic with children; my two young sons are completely at ease under their care. Ashley’s ability to engage with children while providing top-notch therapy services is remarkable. I strongly recommend Ashley to anyone seeking effective myofunctional therapy in a friendly and professional environment.

MyoMovement has been incredible for my family. My 4 yo and I started going for clenching and grinding overnight but I learned so much about airways that my other kids, husband, and mom are doing Myo too. Even though I came to Ashley to stop my 20 year habit of clenching, I ended up with better posture and better quality sleep. Myo was such a value add for my family. Ashley is a natural with kids and incredibly patient. She has so many ideas to keep both kids and adults interested. I’m so grateful for Ashley!

Initially coming to Mrs. Dorado for help on my snoring, I’ve seen improvements there and also in my nasal breathing. Being someone who would constantly be out of breath whether I was walking or watching tv, the exercises she provides have helped me become more dependent on my nasal breathing. The exercises are fun and challenging, anyone who’s been part of the program would say the same thing. Currently on my fifth week and I am ecstatic to see what else will be improved.
