Welcome to MarvelMyo & Speech
We are thrilled to welcome you to MarvelMyo & Speech!
My name is Dr. Katelyn Spencer, and I am the owner of MarvelMyo and the speech therapist who provides care to our patients. In today’s post, I want to dive into what you can expect when working with us and talk about why I’m so passionate about helping others within my practice.
Virtual Speech Therapy
To start with, I want to share with you that here at our practice, we have transitioned to 100% online care for our patients. We are all busy, patients and therapist included, and offering virtual services as our form of treatment has created convenient access to care for everyone. You can receive the services you need in the comfort of you own home.
Now I’m sure that you may be wondering how it works to receive speech therapy online. Let me tell you, it’s simple. You have nothing to worry about and we walk you step by step through the process to ensure that you feel comfortable and your goals are being met.

How it Works
Preparing for you first visit with us is quite simple. As mentioned before, you are more than welcome to complete your session in the comfort of you own home, and in fact, we encourage it. Make sure to set up your desktop or laptop compute in a well-lit area that you feel comfortable and bring something to eat and drink, as this will help with the evaluation piece. Also, when you schedule with us, we will send you a starter kit in the mail prior to your appointment to help you further prepare and gather all things you need for your session.
How We Treat
Here at MarvelMyo, we help individuals ages 5 years and up with speech, language, breathing, and feeding difficulties. Our secret weapon to combatting these dysfunctions is the use of myofunctional therapy.
Myofunctional therapy is all about addressing the muscles of your face, mouth, tongue, lips, and cheeks. These muscles play a huge role in daily functions like breathing, swallowing, and speech. When these muscles are not working as they should, it can lead to different issues that impact your everyday activities. A couple issues that could arise from incorrect function of these muscles include sleep disturbances and speech impediments.
Finding Solutions to the Problem
As I mentioned before, yes we identify the problems that our patients come into us with during our evaluations, but the most important thing is that we work to find solutions to your problems. To do this, we take a holistic approach looking at not only the muscle function, but also any underlying issues that may be contributing.
We pride ourselves in working closely alongside other healthcare professionals such as ENTs, airway-centric dentists, and orthodontists to make sure you are receiving the well-rounded care that you need. It’s the collaborative care between us and the other healthcare providers that help to ensure your success when combatting dysfunctions of the mouth and airway.
Treating with Myofunctional Therapy
Our entire mission here at MarvelMyo is to help you live your best life possible. We don’t just work to treat the symptoms your are struggling with, but rather combat the root cause of those symptoms for long-term relief. We would love to have the opportunity to help you on this journey.
