Kind Words From Clients ~

  • "Thank you, Michelle, for the work you are doing!"

    “Michelle is absolutely AMAZING! She is uber smart, kind, caring, and will make you feel so comfortable. Some of the things you do to treat a tongue tie are a bit awkward and embarrassing, but Michelle has a way of making that all disappear. She makes it fun, shares examples, and even personal experiences. Most importantly she validates that all you have been feeling and struggling with is REAL! If I could give Michelle 100 stars, I would. Because of her, my everyday life is going to greatly improve! Thank you, Michelle, for the work you are doing! You are the best kind of human: down to earth, genuine, empathetic, caring, and do what is truly right for your patients.”

She is extremely knowledgeable and works with her patients to get the best outcome. She stands out from any health professional I've every been to/worked with. At my initial evaluation she spent the time to cover all the bases, I've never had any health practitioner go that in depth and be that thorough. You will be in GREAT hands by working with Oakland Myo! I have been working with Michelle for a tongue tie release along with having to get braces and orthognathic surgery, and she has helped me navigate the journey so much, it is beyond appreciated. I’m excited to see the results in the near future!”
