Clover Valley Wellness - Roseville, California

Karyn was recommended to us by our orthodontist after our 15 year’s braces were removed and her teeth relapsed from a tongue thrust and tongue tie. Through the past year Karyn has educated our family on how to support our daughter, connected us with a variety of services to support her overall needs, and clearly communicated the best path of treatment. This journey was unchartered territory for our family and Karyn made us feel confident in knowing we were making the best decisions for our daughter. My husband and I would highly recommend Karyn and her services.

Karyn is such a wonderful practitioner. She is hands on, amazing with my 7 year old daughter, very knowledgeable and provides a custom treatment plan to meet the needs of each individual patient. We are so grateful to have found Karyn, both for her specific treatment for my daughter, and her connections with greater Sacramento practitioners to ensure we are getting well rounded care for our daughter and helping to correct her mouth breathing, beginning sleep apnea signs, facial growth and swallow patterns. Karyn also helped us to identify our daughters tongue and lip tie and was instrumental in getting that resolved as well. She is always available to answer questions and appointments are always as long as we need them to be to address questions, review the treatment plan, and ensure we have all the answers and information we need! Thank you Karyn!

Karyn Kasvin is an *excellent* myofunctional therapist: she was able to correctly recognize a tongue tie in our son and (not surprisingly) myself when we came to her preceding orthodontic care for our son. After following up with a Sleep/ENT surgeon to confirm, she continued her care by giving us exercises to prepare our mouths and tongues before the surgery as well as sooth and support tissue recovery after surgery. Her insights surpassed that of dental and localized musculature/movement with complex understanding of many other affects which she addressed with recommendations, exercises and education. Her ability to inspire a young child to challenge themselves with coordination of their tongue, soft palate, lips and all else was incredible: we left each session with my son taking ownership of his task list and feeling inspired to do it the way in which she showed him -- and here is the key -- without him feeling stressed or frustrated. Karyn is marvelous and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

Our family highly recommends Karyn for her Myofunctional therapy treatments and services. She is highly recommended by our orthodontist for my son to continue to work on and improve his posture, and jaw alignment after he completed his orthodontia treatment. Karyn is very knowledgeable and she utilized strategies in my son's treatment that is holistic, evidence-based, easy to follow therapies and exercises for my then 12 year old son. We are very happy with the results!

Karyn was recommended to me by one of the leading ENTs in the country, Dr. Zaghi from the Breathe Institute in Los Angeles. I was so excited to learn that we had someone of Karyn's caliber in the Sacramento area to lead us through our oral myofunctional therapy (OMT). Karyn worked with me and my 3 and 6 year old sons for about a year. She helped strengthen our tongues before and after our tongue tie releases, corrected our swallowing and breathing patterns, and even helped improve our postures. She is kind and a great communicator, which is very important when trying to understand a complicated issue. Karyn often sent podcasts and articles that were relevant and incredibly helpful. She also connected us to many other excellent practitioners in the Sacramento area to assist with our much-needed bodywork. I can honestly say that the life-changing improvements to our bodies would not have happened without Karyn. Highly recommend!

Karyn is so terrific we travel 3 hours to work with her. With what began as pursuing an alternative to braces for my daughter, developed into journey that has improved her sleep, concentration, beauty, eating, posture, athleticism, and supported my own lungs through a run of coronavirus! (Teeth are not crooked by themselves. They’re like bottles sitting on a cramped table. It’s the palette and jaw that need to be guided in growth, not the teeth. We were recommended to Clover Valley Wellness by Dr. Trout at Little Fish Dental.)

One of the things that I am excited about, of many, is that my daughters are much more familiar with their own bodies and the connections between their body’s systems. Karyn has guided us to experience how breathing relates to the lower jaw development, sleep, chapped lips, and concentration. We have experienced how tongue posture relates to overall posture, palette growth, eating, and swallowing.

Karyn is a true professional: even tempered, consistent, persistent, patient, and personifies the aspirations of the program. We have enjoyed working with her as a consultant, and I have discovered a new friend and advocate. My daughter is more beautiful due to nose breathing and good tongue posture, better at math due to increased concentration, and more pleasant due to improved sleep. I’m coming out of this with far more than the teeth straightening I was expecting!

And, yes, it is amazing to watch my daughter’s mouth grow properly, creating space for all those teeth. After a few more teeth finish growing in, my daughter will have a lightwire appliance to continue to support palette and jaw growth, but it is useless without orofacial myofunctional therapy.

I recommend Clover Valley Wellness to anyone young or old. Our lives, lungs, and appearance, have been changed for the better.
