What SLPs are saying about Foundations in OMDs
"The Myo Approach completely changed the way I evaluate and treat my patients. Since implementing what I learned, I've achieved better treatment outcomes, feel more confident in my clinical decision-making, and have seen a steady increase in patient referrals. The knowledge and support have not only improved my therapy results but have also helped me grow my practice and expand the services I offer."
"Dina’s Myo Approach course was everything I needed to feel confident and prepared to do myofunctional therapy. The course is incredibly well organized, features fabulous guest speakers, and provides the knowledge and tools needed to start seeing myo clients right away. The live meetup calls were an added bonus, allowing attendees to ask questions and engage in meaningful discussions with Dina and fellow participants. I finished the course feeling prepared, empowered, and inspired by everything I learned. As an SLP, I highly recommend this course!"

Your Mentor
Meet Dina Ezagui
Dina has been a Speech Language Pathologist for the past 20 years, specializing in myofunctional therapy. Dina began her journey treating infants and toddlers with feeding and swallowing disorders. Her work led her to taking a deeper dive into helping children and adults breathe better, sleep better, and live better.
She works with children and adults in her private practice in Brooklyn, NY. Outside the therapy room, she teaches, mentors, and supports providers with both technical and clinical best practices supporting their patients. She earned a second master's degree in Educational Leadership and multiple certifications to deepen her understanding of myofunctional and airway disorders, diagnosis and treatment approaches.
So many talented providers are frustrated and stuck because grad school never taught the importance of uncovering the root cause of things like malocclusions, articulation deficits, and tongue thrust. This course is a culmination of years of studying, clinical experience, mentoring providers, and continued education.
"I'm honored to guide you through The Myo Approach and help you build the confidence you need to treat OMDs — and grow a practice you're proud of."
