At The Myo Project, we believe that optimal health begins with proper function of the mouth, face, and airway. We specialize in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT), a natural and non-invasive approach that retrains the muscles of the face, tongue, and airway to improve breathing, swallowing, speaking, and sleep.
Many people experience symptoms like TMJ pain, chronic headaches, mouth breathing, poor sleep, orthodontic relapse, tongue-tie restrictions, and snoring without realizing these issues are often connected to improper oral function. Left untreated, these problems can lead to long-term concerns such as sleep-disordered breathing, dental issues, and overall health challenges. Our goal is to identify the root causes and create a personalized plan to restore balance and function.
Our comprehensive evaluations assess critical factors such as:
Tongue posture and movement
Breathing patterns and nasal health
Jaw and facial development
Swallowing function
Habits like thumb-sucking or clenching
Tonsil and adenoid size
Orthodontic history and bite alignment
With early intervention and a series of customized exercises, we help children and adults develop proper muscle function to support lasting improvements. Whether your child struggles with mouth breathing or you’re an adult dealing with TMJ discomfort or poor sleep, myofunctional therapy can make a life-changing difference.
The Myo Project offers flexible care with virtual appointments and limited Saturday availability to fit your schedule. For patients preparing for a tongue-tie release (frenectomy), we provide pre- and post-release care to ensure the best possible outcomes. We also support multiple family members going through therapy together, helping your whole household develop healthier habits.
Our mission is simple: to empower you with the knowledge and tools needed to achieve lifelong health through better function. With compassion, education, and evidence-based care, we guide you step-by-step toward improved breathing, sleep, and overall wellness.
If you’ve been searching for answers to chronic oral or airway issues, or if you want to prevent problems before they arise, The Myo Project is here to help. Together, we’ll uncover the “why” behind the symptoms and create a clear path toward lasting results. |
| Bio |
Amanda Zubricki, RDH, LMBT, CertBBM, is the founder and lead therapist at The Myo Project. A profoundly deaf professional, Amanda has built a career around helping others improve their health through functional, preventative care.
Amanda’s journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Towson University, which gave her a strong foundation for understanding patient behavior and motivation. She later earned her degree in Dental Hygiene from Northern Virginia Community College and has since worked in private dental practices across Virginia, Texas, and North Carolina. Her passion for connecting oral health with overall health naturally led her to specialize in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT).
With over 20 years of experience in healthcare, Amanda blends her diverse skill set — including her background as a licensed massage and bodywork therapist — to provide a truly holistic approach to therapy. She works closely with children, teens, and adults to address issues such as tongue-tie, TMJ dysfunction, sleep-disordered breathing, orthodontic relapse, and poor oral habits.
Amanda is also the founder of That Deaf RDH Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals pursuing careers in dental hygiene. Her advocacy work and community impact have been recognized through awards such as the 2024 Heart to Hand Award and the 2022 Today's RDH Award.
Through The Myo Project, Amanda’s mission is to empower her clients with education and practical tools, helping them take control of their health. She is especially passionate about early intervention, preventing small issues from becoming lifelong challenges.
Amanda lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with her husband and three daughters. When she’s not working with clients or advocating for the deaf community, she enjoys spending time with her family and promoting inclusivity and awareness through her social media platform, @that.deaf.rdh and @the.myo.project. |
