I am a Speech-Language Pathologist and a momma of a daughter who needed myofunctional therapy. As a professional, I knew I was missing something causing my daughter's dental and orthodontia needs. I sought myofunctional therapy to find the underlined cause and dysfunction. Melanie is great!! We are so lucky to have her local services and expertise here in Idaho Falls! She was able to identify my daughter's deficits and dysfunction and develop an individualized program and treatment plan that provided amazing results! She also had wonderful referral resources for further assessment needs. We are so thankful for her knowledge, patience, and time! Thank you Melanie!! 

As one who has suffered from chronic headaches nearly my whole life, I have been so amazed at how helpful Melanie has been in reducing my discomfort. My headaches now are significantly fewer and farther in between and I have a better night's rest thanks to her. Orofacial myofunctional therapy has brought me to the homeostasis I was looking for. I did not realize that tongue position and posture was so important for good health. I really appreciate Melanie's expertise in therapy and will forever be grateful for what she has done for me. 

Melanie, owner and therapist, at Healthy Function gives exceptional care to her patients.  Her knowledge in specializing in myofunctional therapy is unmatched as she spends quality time with every person who walks through her door.  Our family spent several years with Melanie learning and benefitting from her sessions.  Melanie also recognized other health concerns and referred us to other health professionals so we could have the best possible result.  Our kids also had so much fun during their sessions.  Melanie is great with kids and makes all the exercises worth doing. 

Thank you for your care!

Great improvements!

We have been very pleased with the orofacial myofunctional therapy services Melanie Hill has and continues to provide.  This type of therapy is not typically suggested for cleft lip and palate children, but in our opinion, it has strengthened the palate, tongue, lips, and facial muscles for our child which has led to increased awareness and further development with speech therapy. Melanie uses exercises that work together and coincide with the letter sounds and blends that are being worked on with speech therapy.  Our child has made great progress and we encourage other parents to discover the benefits for their child with orofacial myofunctional therapy.

Between Rylee's Orthodontist and Melanie, Rylee finally has the smile she's meant to have. The before and after pictures are so crazy. Rylee's facial muscles grew so much - in a good way! So thankful for all the help Melanie gave Rylee in achieving her beautiful smile that she will now be able to keep once her braces are off because she no longer has a tongue thrust.
