A Story of Early Support + Big Wins 👶

Reviews like this remind us why early functional care matters — and why compassionate guidance can change the entire trajectory for a growing baby.

“We are so thankful for Lauren Dodd and Chrysalis! After our pediatrician did not recommend a tongue tie release for our newborn, I knew I needed a second opinion.

Lauren validated our concern that what appeared to be a tongue tie on the surface was actually impacting our baby’s ability to function at his highest potential. He not only had a lip tie we were unaware of, but limited tongue range of motion, body tension, fussiness during feeds, and chompy/painful latches.

Lauren eased my new-mom worry with her patient, kind demeanor every session, was thorough in explanation and ex*****on of the treatment plan, and is a true expert in this niche field.

She is truly gifted at what she does, and without her help, our baby wouldn’t be thriving just 3 days post-release. We know this foundation will carry into his success throughout life, and we are so thankful!”

Stories like this highlight the power of functional assessment, informed collaboration, and compassionate care — especially in those early days when every decision feels big.

When dentists and SLPs collaborate, patients benefit.

Tongue mobility, oral posture, and airway health overlap more than we sometimes realize.

This blog explores how SLPs can support dental providers before and after intervention.

Stronger together.

Assessment.
Preparation.
Implementation.

We see them as a trifecta.

🩵 TOTS Training® comprehensively teaches the E3 Model of Care
(Evaluate. Educate. Execute.)
🩵 Pre-Release Paradigm prepares the system for therapeutic readiness.
🩵 Plot the TOT sharpens clinical decision making and sequencing.

Each course stands on its own.

Together, they create clarity and cohesiveness.
If progress feels inconsistent or cases still feel complex, it may not be your skill.
It may be a missing piece.

What piece are you missing?

Spouted sippy cups can feel like the easiest option… and that’s exactly why they’re so hard to give up 😅

They’re familiar. They’re comforting. And most kids accept them without a fight.
But convenience doesn’t always equal development.

If you’ve ever wondered why some feeding skills feel stuck or why certain transitions feel harder than expected, this is one small habit that can make a big difference over time.

You don’t have to change everything at once. Awareness is the first step.

This might look like a simple tool, but it carries a lot of clinical insight.

The Myomate helps clinicians gather objective measurements during myofunctional evaluations, including data used for TRMR assessment. These measurements support consistent evaluation, clearer clinical reasoning, and more confident decision-making.

In other words, it helps turn “I’m seeing something” into “I know what this means.”

Learning how to use tools like this and understand why the data matters is a key part of building a strong myofunctional foundation.

That’s exactly where TOTS Training® comes in.

When a pediatric dentist and a myofunctional therapist teach side-by-side, you get a full 360-degree view of tongue tie care — anatomy, function, airway, wound management, case complexity, and everything in between.

🦷 Dr. Ann Bryum brings the clinical precision of dentistry.
🦋 Autumn Henning brings the functional lens of orofacial therapy.

Together, they show you how to evaluate and manage TOTs as a unified team, not isolated disciplines.

That’s what makes Plot the TOT different

You’re not just learning techniques… you’re learning how collaborative care actually works in real cases across infants, kids, and adults.

If you’ve ever wondered what both providers are thinking during an evaluation — this training shows you.

What if chronic neck and shoulder tension is not just a “tight muscle” issue?

What if it is upstream?

Tongue position.
Oral posture.
Breathing mechanics.
Compensatory stabilization patterns.

The head, neck, and shoulders are part of a larger system.

We break down the connection between orofacial function and chronic cervical tension, and what that means for clinical practice in one of our latest blogs...

If you want to expand your lens beyond local treatment, this one is for you.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️🩵

Today feels a little brighter… a little lighter… maybe even a little lucky.

We’re celebrating the small wins, the big breakthroughs, and all the moments in between that remind us why this work matters.

The first better night of sleep.
The easier feeding session.
The moment something finally clicks.

Those aren’t just luck.

They’re the result of thoughtful care, connection, and showing up again and again.
We’re so grateful to be part of that journey with you.

Wishing you a day full of joy, a little fun, and maybe a touch of green 💚🦋

Sometimes families come to us after they’ve already tried therapy and still feel stuck.
That was the case for one family who had been navigating sleep and behavior challenges for years with their young daughter.

After working together over several months, they were finally able to address the underlying issues and complete therapy with confidence.

We are so grateful for families who trust us to walk through these journeys with them. 🩵🦋

From a recent parent review:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"We've been working with Caroline for the past 7 months (after an unsuccessful myo therapy attempt with a different therapist). We finally finished therapy today! My daughter has had significant sleep and behavior issues throughout her short 5 year life. Caroline helped us navigate figuring out the root issues and getting the right help. She's friendly, warm, responsive, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Chrysalis!"
