Chrysalis Orofacial

What Chrysalis Orofacial does

Chrysalis Orofacial, LLC is a privately held clinical practice and professional education company headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, founded in 2016 and operating with 6 employees. The company operates a dual-track model: a physical myofunctional therapy clinic delivering in-person patient services for orofacial myofunctional disorders (tongue thrust, sleep apnea, TMJ disorders, tethered oral tissues, feeding difficulties) using its proprietary E3 Model of Care® methodology, alongside a professional education arm offering continuing education courses to healthcare practitioners. The clinical team, led by owner Autumn Henning (SLP, COM, IBCLC), treats both pediatric and adult patients with personalized care plans targeting breathing, chewing, swallowing, and speech function.

The professional education business is delivered exclusively online and includes the trademarked TOTS Training® course ($637 per participant), The STONES Approach course ($1,497 per participant), and The Cocoon virtual training platform, all offering ASHA continuing education credits. Training graduates are listed in the TOTS Training® Directory, a public referral network spanning 64+ pages of certified professionals across multiple healthcare disciplines. Revenue is diversified across clinical services, course tuition, consulting ($260 per 60-minute session via Zoom), speaking engagements, and affiliate commissions from product partnerships with brands including SONU, Spot Pal, Breather, and ARK Therapeutic.

Distribution is hybrid: patient services are delivered locally in Greenville, SC, while training and consulting reach a global audience through online platforms. Marketing relies on content-led channels including a 50+ article blog, podcasts, and social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn). The company has not raised external capital, holds no AI/ML capabilities, and operates without a mobile application or API.

Direct peers

• TalkTools: Provider of oral motor therapy tools and continuing education for SLPs and OTs. Comparable as a niche SLP-focused professional training brand with clinical techniques for feeding, speech, and oral placement therapy.
• MyoMentor: Online myofunctional therapy training company offering professional courses and mentorship for SLPs, hygienists, and body workers. Directly competes with Chrysalis Orofacial in the orofacial myology continuing-education market for the same practitioner segments.
• The Breathe Institute: Specialty airway and tethered oral tissue center offering both clinical services and professional training (TOTS, functional frenuloplasty, myofunctional therapy). Overlaps closely with Chrysalis on TOTS Training, tethered oral tissue protocols, and interdisciplinary provider education.

Others

• International Association of Orofacial Myology (IAOM): Professional association that certifies orofacial myologists and offers introductory and advanced training. Serves the same practitioner customer base and adjacent training needs, though as a membership body rather than a competing commercial provider.
• AAPMD (Airway, Sleep, and Pediatric Development): Interdisciplinary professional network connecting dentists, SLPs, ENTs, and pediatric providers around airway and orofacial development. Comparable ecosystem player that channels referrals and education to the same target audience as Chrysalis.

Regional players

• HealthyStart by Ortho-Tain: Pediatric airway-oriented dental system with provider training programs. Comparable as a multidisciplinary airway/orofacial intervention brand targeting similar dental and pediatric professional audiences, though anchored to a specific appliance system.

Broad incumbents

• Vivos Therapeutics: Public device and training company focused on sleep apnea and airway-centered dental treatment. Operates at greater scale in an adjacent niche (airway/dental) and offers provider training that intersects with Chrysalis's professional education segments.
