OroGlow: Where Function Meets Flow
Hi! I’m Tricia Poindexter – founder of OroGlow Myofunctional and Speech Services, and I’m so glad you’re here.
This isn’t your average speech therapy practice. At OroGlow, we go beyond the basics. My journey in the medical field spans 7 years, during which I've had the privilege of working with diverse populations in various settings. This extensive experience has given me a unique perspective on the intricate connections between oral function, communication, and overall well-being. From navigating complex medical diagnoses to witnessing the transformative power of rehabilitation, I've developed a deep understanding of the human body and its remarkable capacity for healing. My approach blends evidence-based techniques with holistic, whole-body support. I focus on treating the root causes behind breathing, swallowing, speech, and oral function challenges – because real healing doesn’t happen with exercises alone.
For OroGlow, "holistic" means:
Comprehensive Assessment: We go beyond surface-level evaluations to uncover the root causes of your challenges. We consider your medical history, lifestyle factors, and individual goals.
Integrated Therapies: We combine myofunctional therapy, feeding therapy, and specialized speech-language therapies to address the interconnectedness of your oral and communicative health.
Patient-Centered Care: Your needs and goals are at the heart of our treatment approach. We empower you to actively participate in your healing journey.
Collaboration: We work closely with your physicians, dentists, and other healthcare professionals to provide seamless and coordinated care.
Focus on Long-Term Wellness: We equip you with the tools and strategies to maintain your progress and prevent future challenges.
What is Myofunctional Therapy?
Good question! Myofunctional therapy is more than tongue exercises – its about retraining the muscles of the mouth, face, and airway to support healthy breathing, speaking, chewing, and resting posture. We work on:
Nasal breathing
Tongue mobility & strength
Swallowing patterns
TMJ and jaw pain
Speech clarity
Sleep-disordered breathing and fatigue
Feeding and picky eating in children
But the real magic happens when we integrate breathing techniques, jaw and body awareness, nervous system regulation, and a deep understanding of HOW everything is related.
My Philsophy: Whole-Person Wellness
I created OroGlow to reflect something bigger than just therapy. I believe in:
Root-cause care: finding and addressing the WHY behind your symptoms.
Partnership: you’re not alone–I’m with you every step of the way.
Confidence building: Helping you (or your child) feel seen, strong, and capable.
Transformation: Restoring healthy function so you can thrive – not just manage.
I have seen the difference in what happens when therapy is personalized, compassionate, and truly integrative and 10/10 times, patient’s have significantly improved recovery then just addressing the symptom.
