Tongues belong in the roof of the mouth and when they are not resting there, they can fall into your airway, disrupting nasal breathing and sleep. Thank goodness we can change that!

Myofunctional skills 👄 are targeted in different ways at different ages and often approached differently across the 👶🏼lifespan of the same person. 👵 It’s never too late or too early to chat with your Myofunctional therapist about what you should be doing now. ‼️The answer may surprise you and may NOT be “start therapy now.” It’s very often a piece of a larger project …🧩An important project -especially for your child- and with important developmental windows that should not be missed. 🎂It can feel overwhelming but there is a path and a guide-🧭 please reach out, I love to help!

The tongue acts like a switch for nasal breathing!

When your tongue is resting up against the palate, the only way you can breathe is in and out of the nose. 👃

If you’re noticing habitual mouth breathing, it might be helpful to check for restrictions or other factors that could be affecting your tongue’s resting posture.

New review 🤩-“Jordana has been a Godsend! Our son was in speech therapy, but was at a standstill. Our speech therapist recommended Jordana and the improvement has been amazing! He needed a release and Jordana helped us through the entire process. His sleep AND his behavior has improved. Jordana is very knowledgeable and extremely patient. My son loves going to see her. I am so grateful for her and the work she does and would highly recommend”

💡💡I get to see the lightbulb moments my clients have when they connect Myo 👄function with their symptoms. 👎🏻It’s both hopeful 🤞🏻and frustrating…..
😣😣😣😣frustrating that it often took waaaay too long to discover ⌛️and there is some water🌉 under the bridge that we can’t get back.

But 🙏🏻🙏🏻HOPEFUL🙏🏻🙏🏻because now we have a plan for improvement. 🤩

Come see the lights turn on!!

There are a 📈 growing number of myofunctional devices and people often ask me if they are good. ❓❓Remplenish, froggy lips, myobrace, etc

I’m 😊happy😊to vouch for the ones I have tried or used. BUT THEY CAN OFTEN BE USED INCORRECTLY….. 👎🏻 and do NOT address all of your myofunctional needs/skills.

My best ✅ recommendation is to use them in conjunction with myofunctional therapy and ask your therapist 👩‍🏫 to teach you or your child how to use it correctly. 👍🏻

❓❓I get asked all the time about tongue ties/ tongue tie release procedures. 👅

This is a unique issue because it’s impacting people from birth 👶🏼through retirement. 👵

⭐️Depending upon what age it is suspected, the function that is suffering from a restricted tongue will be different (as well as the symptoms). ⭐️

A newborn 👶🏼 struggling with breastfeeding or a mom suffering significant pain during breastfeeding her baby may be dealing with a tongue tie. See a lactation consultant who is well-versed in this subject and she will know if that’s part of the problem and who to refer you to for a release 👨‍⚕️

👦A young child who is struggling to speak, speaks with articulation errors, suffers with poor sleep, dental crowding, high-narrow palate, mouth-breathing, trouble eating ….. it can be a tongue-tie. 👧🏻Find an SLP with myofunctional training to evaluate and direct you to other professionals who have experience with restricted oral ties 🎀

An older child may have all of the previous symptoms- possibly worsening. 😣 As they head toward teenage years and orthodontics it is especially important to resolve myofunctional disorders and tongue ties to prevent relapse😱

Adults 👩 with tongue ties are often sleeping poorly, experiencing chronic tension and strain in neck/shoulders, 🤕 experiencing headaches, experiencing lots of dental problems, clenching/grinding teeth, 😬becoming fatigued with long stretches of talking, etc. If the overall airway volume and tongue space will accommodate, a tongue release in adulthood can be life-changing.

An evaluation is the first step! 📋
