Hi, I’m Callie Halstead. I live in Berthoud, CO with my husband and two children. I founded Align in 2025 out of a desire to expand access to orofacial myofunctional therapy in Northern Colorado. I have been practicing speech-language pathology for over 10 years, but my journey to myofunctional therapy began in 2020.

While I’ve always wanted to have my own private practice, I never would have thought that myofunctional therapy would be my specialty. Why? Partly because I didn’t learn anything about in graduate school. No one does. I was fortunate enough to find an amazing, passionate mentor who opened my eyes to thinking about the role of tongue positioning and use as it relates to breathing, speech and feeding. After completing intensive training courses and working with hundreds of patients, I’ve seen first hand the amazing affect that myofunctional therapy has on the orofacial development of children. I’ve also seen how these relatively small changes can positively affect the breathing and sleep in adults as well. I’ve always been a goal-oriented person, and I’ve become obsessed with the undeniable results that these individualized interventions produce.

I’m blessed beyond measure to get the opportunity to bring these services to Berthoud and beyond. I can’t wait to meet you and your family soon!
