Myofunctional therapy for better breathing, sleep, and speech.
One-on-one programs that retrain the muscle patterns behind mouth breathing, tongue thrust, and disrupted sleep. In person in Lincoln Park or by telehealth across Illinois.
What we treat.
Six ways in, one method underneath. Every program below is built on orofacial myofunctional therapy, the retraining of how the mouth rests, breathes, and swallows.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Every plan begins with a 60-minute evaluation covering rest posture, breathing, chewing, swallowing, speech, and feeding. Baseline photos and measurements, and a written report within a week.
Tongue-Tie & Frenectomy
Preparation before a release and rehabilitation after one, coordinated with the releasing provider.

Sleep Apnea & Snoring
Airway muscle retraining that supports deeper, quieter sleep, alongside your physician's care.

TMJ & Jaw Tension
Easing clenching, grinding, and jaw strain by retraining the muscle habits underneath, alongside dental care.
Learn more
Mouth Breathing & Open Posture
Restoring nasal breathing and closed-lip rest, the foundation for facial growth, dental health, and better sleep.
Learn more
Oral Habits & Ortho Support
Ending thumb and pacifier habits, and retraining the patterns behind orthodontic relapse.
Learn more
Speech & Feeding
Articulation for sounds with a muscular cause, and pediatric feeding therapy for picky eating and oral motor skills.
Learn moreA clear sequence, start to finish.
Evaluate
Every plan starts with a 60-minute evaluation and a written report. You will know what is happening, and why, before therapy begins.
Retrain
Weekly sessions paired with five to ten minutes of daily practice at home. Exercises change as each phase is mastered.
Make it stick
New patterns only matter if they hold. The final phase spaces sessions out and confirms the habits are automatic.
Specialist care, without the clinic shuffle.
The specialty, not a side service
Myofunctional therapy is the focus of this practice, built on full speech-language pathology training.
Built to graduate you
Programs move through clear phases toward discharge, and therapy ends once the new patterns hold.
Measured, not vague
Baseline photos and measurements at intake, and progress reviewed against them at every phase.
Built for referrals
Written reports and direct coordination with your dentist, orthodontist, ENT, or sleep physician.
Amanda Ing, MHS, CCC-SLP
chicagomyo is the practice of Amanda Ing, a speech-language pathologist whose years of pediatric work kept leading to the same conclusion: when speech, feeding, or sleep problems keep coming back, the cause often sits in how the mouth rests and moves. She trained in orofacial myofunctional therapy to treat that cause directly, and it is now the center of her clinical work. Sessions are warm and unhurried, with clinical rigor underneath.
