🎉✨ Exciting news, healthcare leaders! ✨🎉 I hope this post finds you all in good health and high spirits.

I launched a new online masterclass titled 🎯 'No More Phony Business.' (www.nomorephonybusiness.com) It's been meticulously and visually designed to address some common challenges in our healthcare businesses - such as inefficient communication, team burnout, and repetitive administrative processes.

Here's a quick snapshot of what you can expect:
1️⃣ Communication Masterclass: Learn strategies to optimize communication flow within your teams. Reduce misunderstandings, enhance collaboration, and boost overall productivity.

2️⃣ Admin Simplification: Let's cut through the paperwork together. We’ll provide practical ways to streamline and automate your administrative processes, freeing up more time for patient care.

3️⃣ Team Burnout Prevention: We address the serious issue of burnout and equip you with practical tools and strategies to foster a happy, healthy, high-performing team.

The journey to a more efficient healthcare practice begins with a single step, and 'No More Phony Business' might be the step you've been waiting for.

If this sounds like something that would benefit you or someone you know, I invite you to join us. Please have a look at the link I've attached for more information. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to seeing some of you in the masterclass! 🌟

(Note: Could you let me know if this post is inappropriate here? This class could benefit many in this group, and I mean no disrespect.

Let’s talk solid-food readiness! Sweet Mila is a little over 5 months and is now demonstrating all solid-food readiness cues! Ability to hold neck and trunk with minimal support ✔️curiosity and motivation✔️lip closure around spoons and cups✔️bringing items to midline/to her mouth✔️decreased sucking reflex and increased munching reflex✔️
Today we trialed dry spoons, empty cups, and high chair supports to get her all ready for her first bites at home.
Baby led weaning? Spoon feeding? Combo? What’s best for oral motor development is a beautiful combination to ensure our babies are learning lateralization, mastication, lip seal, and prompt/proper swallowing propulsion. Got questions?! Comment below 💕❤️

When you know, you know.

That's pretty much all there is to it.

If you've been getting the sense that something might be wrong with your child's health, but you can't quite put a finger on it...chances are, you're probably right!

Follow this link https://www.healthlatch.com/key-concepts to get the information, resources, and, most importantly, reassurance you need to put your concerns at ease.

Fun fact (although you may already know this one 😉): Babies grow out of most things.

Teeth, clothes, crying through the night...you know the drill.

One thing that they may not grow out of (if it goes unaddressed), however, is oral restrictions.

In fact, if oral or airway issues such as these go unaddressed, long-term effects can be seen on:

🍼 functional

🍼 structural

🍼 and behavioral levels!

If you notice that your child has been having difficulty chewing food, swallowing, latching, or symptoms of the like, it might be time to get educated!

Check out this link https://www.healthlatch.com/key-concepts to find tons of resources on oral/airway health as well as next steps for getting your child the care they deserve!

Just stopping by to remind ALL parents that:

Your concerns are real.

Your concerns are valid.

Your concerns are worthy of addressing.

For the past several decades, it's been all too common to address children's cavities with a quick "fill and drill" attitude. 🦷

Although this may bring pain relief to the child with the cavity, this technique isn't solving the problem at its root. 🙅‍♀️

In fact, Early Childhood Cavities (ECC) could be indicative of more serious issues — like an oral restriction or mouth breathing — which can cause long-term issues like:

- airway & breathing problems
- speech delays & difficulties
- trouble with sleeping properly
- feeding & eating difficulties
- behavioral & mental health issues
- and more

That being said, we have good news: There are ways to both treat AND prevent the problems associated with ECC!

It's listening to that little voice inside when others tell you that “nothing is wrong with you” or that your child will “grow out of it” — but your instincts tell you differently.

We’re here to assure you that your intuition is telling you something. Now is the time to TRUST it & learn more!

Meet the Team: Dr. James Thomas, our Founder & Changemaker!

Dr. Thomas — or "JT" as many of his patients know him — started the health:latch clinic with a desire to help families THRIVE.

After treating thousands of children in his first dental practice, Everyone By One, he developed a unique understanding of the struggles patients had with breastfeeding, speech, sleep, breathing and more — caused by oral restrictions like tongue and lip tie.

So, he set out on a mission to educate and empower families to overcome oral & airway health issues.

And healthlatch was born. 💙💛

Known for being RADICALLY KIND in everything he does, JT especially enjoys supporting parents & patients, and validating the intuition they have about their own health.

He also performs the laser frenectomy procedure to release tongue, lip and buccal ties in babies and children.

When he's not helping families THRIVE, you'll find Dr. Thomas hooping it up, playing golf and spending time with his family.

He's also always game for a good physical challenge. 💪 He has summited Mt. Rainier, hiked Rim2Rim2Rim, free-climbed Half Dome, and maybe — just maybe — was an alternate for American Ninja Warrior. Ask him when you visit. 😊

💌 Send us a MESSAGE over at www.healthlatch.com to connect with Dr. Thomas and the team!

.midwives thank you 🙏🏼 for thinking of our team this holiday season. We appreciate and honor the work you do for so many. Happy Holidays!! 🥰🙌🙏🏼👍

The VALUE of DOING IT TOGETHER: After thousands of FEEDING STORIES it is very clear that the value (and the positive outcome from that value) is only created where all the lines cross.
•
When we work together, this is where the value for our patients is created. There is NOBODY that understands lactation, tension, vagus nerve, tongue tie, oral function, digestion, tummy time, suck, swallow, and on, and on, and on. We must do it as a team. And it is when teams work together that we create VALUE. So it is all about connection.
•
This connection is based on the following four things: COORDINATION, TRUST, PERMISSION/PRIVILEGE TO SERVE each other and finally the GENEROSITY TO SHARE the ideas/findings we discover. Why? Because all of us are smarter than any of us.
•
So as a professional in this new connection healthcare vertical, how many of these four things are you doing on a daily basis? Because the institutions that are growing, the leaders in this vertical and those providing the best care and outcomes for their patients are right in the center of all of this.
•latch we generally see babies 0 - 3 months and it is clear that time is of the essence. Everyday that goes by without connecting our families with other talent providers that can help, is a loss for the families that we serve. Everything that we do on day one of life, 5 days from now, and until “graduation” is all about community.
•
The VALUE of any network (Metcalfe’s Law) is the square of the power of the people in the network. If you are standing on the side lines, we need YOU! Build your network, connect regularly and your patients will thank you for it

Our Story

A niche healthcare practice located in Bellevue, WA, health:latch was founded in 2017 by Dr. James Thomas, a pediatric dentist with over a decade of clinical experience in Washington and a passion for positive health outcomes. As the founder and owner of NW Pediatric Dentistry – later rebranded to Everyone By One – Dr. Thomas pursued a mission to encourage families to visit the dentist by Age One. Throughout his career, he continued to push early intervention and preventative, outcome-based pediatric dentistry. With this goal in mind, Dr. Thomas searched for earlier interventions with infants and children and became interested in tongue tie release for newborns who were unable to form a lip seal and proper tongue position during breastfeeding, a growing concern among nursing mothers. The more of these children he saw in his practice, the more convinced he became that enhancing the duration along with quality of breastfeeding would improve overall health outcomes for the baby and its family. Furthermore, with additional research, he saw improvements in breathing, airway formation, speech, and sleep habits.

In April 2016, realizing he couldn’t continue to grow Everyone By One and focus on serving infants and children struggling with oral restrictions, he sold his pediatric dental practices in order to found health:latch, a practice that has one sole purpose: to help babies and their families thrive. After extensive research and continuing education, he has created a research-based, team approach that integrates modern laser technology and old-fashioned customer service. Today, with a network of like-minded pediatric medical professionals, health:latch prides itself on partnering with parents to educate, diagnose, treat, and support families with any challenges related to tongue-tie, beginning with breastfeeding.
