Oakland Myo and Wellness Institute, LLC

"Michelle is THE Myo functional therapist you want to see. I drove 1.5 hours for our evals and then did zooms after that and it was worth it for her expertise and support. She accommodates each child and the family as a whole with her approach. My kids loved their time with her and felt successful in their exercises because she was so positive and encouraging. We had used a different Myo before her and spent months without making many gains and my daughter dreaded it and was worn out. A total 180 experience with Michelle and we were able to set goals, achieve them and have a plan in place for next steps for my daughters. I can’t recommend Michelle enough."

"We absolutely love working with Michelle! She has helped my son and I make tremendous progress with our health and sleeping issues. She is an absolute doll to work with and children love her. She has an impressive knowledge base and cares deeply about helping every patient make progress at their own pace. I highly recommend Michelle Richards and am deeply thankful to have connected with her."

"Michelle is truly gifted with the way she is able to understand her patients. Over the last year she has offered life changing techniques and therapy to provide relief for tension caused by what i now know as a Tongue Tie. After spending time preparing for my release with Michelle I was more than ready to follow through with a simple, but extraordinary procedure. She has guided me through my entire journey. Thanks to Michelle I am able to understand my body better. Feeling confident and connected because of her skills as a Myofunctional Therapist."

"Michelle has helped my son in so many ways! I have a 7-year-old boy with a severe speech and language barrier. We tried traditional speech for years and was getting nowhere. We were referred to Michelle by our previous speech pathologist, as they felt she would be able to help him further. Michelle is highly specialized and thinks outside the box not using traditional speech methods. She understands each kid is different and tailors their needs to their therapy plan. She’s patience, funny, understanding, and compassionate; highly recommend!"

"Michelle has been amazing. My son has shown improvement in many areas and has grown tremendously under her care. If it was not for her we would of never known how tongue ties can be the root of many struggles in our day to day activities. The way she is committed to her clients and their families is unique. She is so dedicated and gives so much support. Words can not express how grateful I am that she was able to help my son!"
