You may have seen a new face in our office this week! We would like to introduce our new office tech Savanna! 👏🏼

Hey, I’m Savanna!

Some of my favorite things are spending time with my husband & our two kids, working in the garden (veggies, herbs, and flowers), & taking care of our funny farm. We’ve got geese, chickens, ducks, a horse, two goats, four dogs, and five cats—so there’s never a dull moment! I also love riding my Harley and doing anything creative.

I’m so excited to join the Expression team and can’t wait to meet everyone!

Let’s give her some love! 🥰

We need to start talking about airway health way earlier—like in infancy (first 12 weeks ideally), not just when kids are snoring at 3, getting tonsils out at 4, or diagnosed with sleep apnea as an adult needing a CPAP.

✨Struggles like poor latch, reflux, colic, mouth breathing… they’re not random. They’re signs of early tension and airway dysfunction that affect feeding, sleep, and development.

✨Mouth breathing in babies isn’t “cute”—it’s a sign their nervous system is stuck in stress mode. Their tongue isn’t resting on the roof of the mouth, and that impacts everything from digestion to sleep to regulation to nasal development.

✨Left unchecked, these issues can grow into speech delays, sensory struggles, sleep problems, and more.

✨That’s why Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) can be so powerful—it gently helps release tension, support better breathing, and calm the nervous system at the root.

Let’s look earlier. Let’s support babies before things snowball.

Give us a call if you are expecting and would like to be on our radar as soon as you deliver to assess your infant or if you have concerns with your infant/child.

We’re so grateful to be collaborating with The Breathe Institute!💙 Even from multiple states away, they go above and beyond to ensure the patients we refer are comfortable, cared for, and treated with the highest level of expertise.

Expression and The Breathe Institute know that preparing little ones for procedures like tongue-tie releases can make a big difference — that’s why Expression has created a social story to help our patients feel safe, confident, and ready for their visit with the help of the Breathe Insitute.

It’s an honor to work alongside a team like The Breathe Institute that shares our passion for patient-centered care and support at every step. Thank you for partnering with us to make a positive impact!✨

🌿Get to know your Speech Language Pathologist! 🌿

We know we introduced her already, but she is making such a huge impact in her short time with us that we feel she deserves another shout-out! 🗣️

Meghan Ackerman was born and raised in Dickinson, ND, and is thrilled to begin her career as a speech-language pathologist in her hometown. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Communication Disorders from Minot State University in 2023 and recently completed her Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from Minot State in May 2025. Meghan is excited to continue working with the team at Expression, where she completed a 16-week clinical rotation during her graduate studies.

Her clinical interests include early language development, AAC, and supporting children with complex communication needs. Meghan is passionate about working with children of all abilities and is dedicated to helping each child find their voice, no matter how big or small the need.

Outside of the clinic, Meghan enjoys spending time with her 3-year-old nephew, friends, and family. She loves staying active with hobbies like hiking, golfing, and snowboarding, and loves to travel.

Everyone’s rushing to stop thumb sucking — but here’s what no one’s saying:

It’s not just a habit.
It’s a sign something deeper is off: poor tongue posture, airway issues, nervous system dysregulation.

The thumb is doing the job the tongue and vagus nerve should be doing.
Take it away without fixing the root, and you leave a dysregulated child without a coping tool.

This shows up in adults too — mouth breathing, clenching, poor sleep, anxiety, even sleep apnea.

Don’t just chase symptoms.
Support the airway, fascia, oral function, and nervous system.

Look into:
→ Myofunctional therapy
→ Craniosacral Fascial Therapy
→ Airway-focused dentists

It’s not about the thumb. It’s about the system behind it.
