Founded by Michelle Richards, a speech therapist with over 22 years of experience, the institute focuses on whole-body care that addresses the root causes of breathing, posture, mobility, sleep, speech, feeding, and swallowing challenges. Richards established the practice after her daughter faced long-term medical and dental challenges, which she found were linked to orofacial myofunctional disorders. Her background includes working with adults with brain injuries and children in the local school system, where she observed that students with articulation impairments often struggled with learning, behavior, and medical issues like asthma and allergies. The institute’s approach moves beyond traditional therapy methods, using research-based techniques to improve oral and body health. Evaluations involve observations, interviews, functional tasks, and standardized assessments to create tailored treatment plans. The team works closely with physicians and dentists to deliver comprehensive results, addressing symptoms such as tongue thrusting, mouth breathing, orthodontic relapse, sleep apnea, and difficulty chewing or swallowing.

The clinic is located at 410 W University Dr, Suite A. It sits on West University Drive, less than a quarter-mile from the Rochester Police Station and Police Department. The location is also within a short walk of North Main Street, South Main Street, and Rochester Municipal Park, all roughly 0.3 miles away.

Each therapist brings personal insight to their practice, having experienced their own journeys with myofunctional disorders, which informs their compassionate and personalized care.
