Jill Cochrane is a Certified Orofacial Myologist (COM®) who is also a Board Certified Speech-Language Pathologist serving clients in Marin County. While working in the public schools, Jill observed many children remaining in therapy for many years with minimal progress and became aware of comorbid diagnoses of sleep apnea, tongue tie, and dental malocclusion. This awareness drove her to begin training in orofacial myology, observing how quickly clients were able to achieve results. She has since transitioned to her practice to focus on taking a myofunctional approach to treat speech, swallowing, and other orofacial myofunctional disorders.
