Helping you uncover the root cause of speech & orofacial myology difficulties.

Does this sound familiar?

  • People struggle to understand what my child is saying?

  • They’re always breathing through their mouth - even when they’re fast asleep. Sleep is restless. Snoring. Waking tired.

  • They just can’t seem to let go of finger/dummy sucking.

  • Chewing certain foods looks harder than it should.

If you’ve been nodding along, you’re not alone.

Many families share these same worries in late-night Google searches, and Facebook groups, wondering ‘is this a phase, or is something else going on?’ These patterns are sometimes linked to how the mouth, tongue, face muscles are working together.

Left unaddressed, they can have a flow-on effect, influencing breathing, speech, dental health, sleep quality and even jaw development.

And while overwhelming, there are safe ways to explore what’s happening beneath the surface.

At Khuluma Speech Pathology, we use orofacial myology, together with a whole -team approach alongisde dentists, ENTs, orthodontists and other professionals to support your child to:

  • Build healthier oral habits

  • Coordinate face and mouth muscles

  • Explore clearer, more confident communication

  • Practice functional breathing and chewing patterns

Lay stronger foundations for future growth and development

Why families choose Khuluma

  • We don’t just focus on the obvious signs - like unclear sounds or oral habits.

  • We look beneath the surface to explore why these patterns are showing up in the first place.

  • With nearly 15 years’ experience as a Speech Pathologist, now with specialised training in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy, and my own perspective as a parent who’s walked this road, we bring a whole picture lens: not just speech - but how speech and all other related pieces connect.

  • That means:

    • Your child isn’t treated in isolation

    • You’re not left to join the dots between professionals

    • Therapy feels collaborative, not confusing

It’s about giving families a path forward that makes sense - one that’s evidence-informed, realistic for home-life and always grounded in compassion.
