"Robin is a magician! My daughter had tongue thrust that was interfering with her orthodontic intervention, she had been in braces in an early phase of treatment and was hoping to use Invisalign for her next phase. But the orthodontist said only another round of braces would get the movement needed due to the tongue thrust. We asked for other options and were referred to Robin to address the thrust. With regular visits of treatments, with oral exercises and tongue placement reminders my daughter happily progressed in her Invisalign. But the real test was when her orthodontist did a photo comparison of before and after the myfunctional intervention, the difference was shocking and impressive. Beyond the desire to keep my teenager out of another round of braces, I truly feel like we addressed the root of the issue. If we hadn’t addressed the tongue thrust and gone with braces; once the braces came off the thrust would have worked against the progress and negatively impacted her orthodontic intervention, potentially causing a need for more treatment. Addressing the thrust and reteaching her tongue was the best long term option, and Robin made that happen. We are beyond thankful for Robin’s work, and strongly recommend her for any myofunctional therapy needs!"
"My 5 year old and 7 year old just spent the last 9 months doing myofunctional therapy with Robin. Both had been mouth-breathing and my youngest had his tonsils taken out this past summer. I knew I wanted them to do myofunctional therapy, and despite living in Fresno, Robin was the closest myofunctional therapist. My boys loved visiting Ms. Robin! We were able to do a mix of in-person day trips, virtual, and making a weekend of it and visiting friends in SLO. It was only 2 hrs from fresno to her office in Atascadero. Through Robin’s coaching, my boys have learned and become more aware of where their tongue is and keeping their lips closed. Robin equipped me to help my kids continue the practices at home and it was amazing to see my boys progress week to week!! By the end of our time together, both boys experienced some improvement in their tongue stretch and a strengthening in their abilities. If you are considering myofunctional therapy, I highly recommend Robin and her practice!!"
"Robin is amazing! She helped guide me through my tongue tie release with ease. Tongue tie releases are commonly done with children so I was nervous to do this as an adult. I spent time with Robin preparing for the release by having her guide me through stretches and strengthening my tongue and facial muscles. Since my tongue tie release and myofunctional therapy, I feel less neck tension, significant reduction in migraines, an easier time swallowing, and improved sleep! Amazing results! Can’t recommend Robin enough!"
"Highly recommend! Robin helped my daughter who was struggling with tongue placement. She coached her through many different exercises and my daughter has made immense progress with Robin and myofunctional therapy. I highly recommend Robin, she is incredibly kind and patient, and excellent resource in the community."
"My 9 year olds dentist Dr. Stout referred us to Robin Fapp for my daughters tongue thrust which was creating an open bite. The before and after pictures of my daughters mouth are amazing. Robin taught her proper resting tongue positioning , and exercises to strengthen her lips and mouth muscles and gave us doable exercises to do between sessions. Ultimately my daughter learned how to properly chew and swallow her food correctly. My daughter really enjoyed going to her appointments with Robin. She made it fun and both my daughter and I enjoyed the sessions with her. I am amazed at the fast progress she made. We did have exercises to do at home each day but they were doable and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Robin! She is very knowledgeable, positive, warm, friendly, and a great communicator . She made my daughter feel very welcomed and special. We will miss seeing her every week!"
