Why Choose the Coulson Institute?

The Coulson Institute provides training in Myofunctional Therapy (also known as Oral Myology) across the world. Sandra is a former clinical professor for the University of Behavior Health Sciences.

Typically students of the Coulson Institute come from the following groups of health care professionals:

  • Dentists
  • Dental Hygienists
  • Oral Health Therapists
  • Speech Pathologists
  • Osteopaths
  • Breathing practitioners
  • and other Allied Health Professionals

Students come to learn from Sandra Coulson because of her caring, warm and direct nature and teaching style. Sandra "leaves nothing on the court" when she teaches and is passionate, committed and driven to share the work that has helped her shape the mouths (and sometimes lives) of the people she works with in practice and in her work as an educator.


Perhaps though, it is best left to the voices of others to express why you should consider the Coulson Institute for training in Oral Myology.
