About me

Hi, I’m Laura Colmenares, BSDH, COM®, founder of LC Orofacial Myology. I am a Certified Orofacial Myologist through the International Association of Orofacial Myology (IAOM) and specialize in orofacial myofunctional therapy with a passion for helping children and adults breathe better, sleep better, and function at their best by addressing the root causes of oral and airway dysfunction.


With advanced training in myofunctional therapy, airway-centered care, breathing re-education, and oral development, I work with patients who struggle with mouth breathing, sleep-disordered breathing, tongue ties, improper oral rest posture, TMJ symptoms, clenching, orthodontic concerns, and developmental issues affecting facial growth and function.


My approach is holistic, gentle, and highly individualized. I believe the muscles of the face, tongue, and airway play a critical role in overall health, posture, sleep quality, and overall well-being. Rather than simply treating symptoms, my goal is to understand why the body is compensating and help guide it back toward optimal function.


I collaborate closely with orthodontists, dentists, ENTs, pediatricians, bodywork providers, sleep specialists, and other airway-focused professionals to ensure each patient receives comprehensive, team-based care designed to support lasting results.


At LC Orofacial Myology, you are not simply completing exercises; you are developing lifelong habits that support proper breathing, optimal facial development, efficient oral function, and whole-body health. My mission is to create a supportive and empowering environment where patients and families feel heard, educated, and confident throughout their journey toward better health.

Whether you are seeking answers for yourself or your child, I am committed to helping you breathe, sleep, and thrive.
