Do you know you have a tongue-tie? Perhaps you do and you’re ready to “ditch the tongue-tie”. Or maybe you are just tongue-tie curious and aren’t sure?
Either way, you’re in the right place!
In this episode of the Myo Minute, we are continuing to explore the popular 4 part series that I taught in 2020. The program, Ditch the Tongue-Tie is not currently offered, but there was way too much information to not re-publish this series.
In this video, part 3, we cover:
- Getting clarity and determining what your goals are.
- More about a functional assessment to see how the oral function is.
- Frequently asked questions

Do you need to watch part 1 first? You can find it here.
What about part 2? You can find it here.
If you suspect that you have a tongue-tie or already know that you have one AND you’re ready to ditch the tongue-tie, then get your exam scheduled. That is the very best place to start!

I found this path of passion years ago as a dental hygienist. After a stint in graduate school to earn my M.B.A., I decided that I needed to pivot. My heart was no longer in scraping teeth, but making a much bigger impact on lives touched by myofunctional impairment.
My story is personal and close to home. My sweet granddaughter was passed back and forth amongst doctors and therapists for years trying to figure out her speech, breathing, sleep, chewing and swallowing issues. It wasn’t until I completed more training that I knew her problem was a significant tongue-tie. Bingo.
Fast forward to now. I’m a crusader. A warrior. A voice for those who can’t find theirs, or who don’t have one.
I left clinical hygiene practice to start Integrative Myofunctional Therapy. It has evolved from a way to make a living, into an obsession!
I see clients all over the world and provide innovative, virtual therapy in the remotest of places.
In addition, I also
- Teach other dental hygienists, speech therapists & dentists how to become myofunctional therapists through the Myofunctional Therapy Training Acadedmy.
- Coach dental offices on how to implement myofunctional screening into the daily practice
- Speak in various settings
