I can’t even describe how much I love my job. Every time I get a call from a new client lead, my adrenaline kicks in. I almost get shaky with excitement, and my voice even quivers when I start explaining the connections. They usually don’t know why they were referred to me for Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT), and as I connect the dots between habits, symptoms, and oral patterns, it feels almost psychic. I’ll ask about things that could be related, and the parent is like, “Yes, yes, yes!”

So often, families have been to other specialists who never connect the pieces—because non-holistic healthcare tends to only want to sell pharmaceuticals or bandaids. Instead of looking at the root cause, the focus is on masking symptoms.

That’s why I love what I do—I get to shine a light on the bigger picture, explain how things are tied together, and give families hope that real answers exist beyond a prescription pad.

It is helpful for another SLP or loved one because it provides a structured, easy-to-follow outline that promotes safety, reduces anxiety, and supports independence during hotel stays. It can also be used in therapy to practice real-world safety and memory strategies.

📢 PSA: It’s Open Enrollment!

🚨 Important Update: Medicare Advantage Plans 🚨

Starting in 2025, many hospitals will no longer accept Medicare Advantage plans, and some are already refusing them. If you're considering switching to a Medicare Advantage plan or already have one, be aware that **your card will practically be useless**. Now is the time to talk to an insurance broker about your benefits and possibly switch back to traditional Medicare during open enrollment before you're locked in for the year! ⏳

🔍 For example, I used the simple search, “Which hospitals near me will stop taking Medicare Advantage plans in 2025,” and I found this: I live near York, Pennsylvania, and discovered that WellSpan Health will stop accepting Humana Medicare Advantage and UnitedHealthcare-AARP Medicare Advantage plans starting January 1, 2025. Some plans, like UnitedHealthcare Group Retiree Medicare Advantage PPO and Humana Employer PPO MA plans, will still be accepted. [More info here](https://kffhealthnews.org/news/article/health-202-hospitals-doctors-medicare-advantage/) [and here](https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/finance/hospitals-are-dropping-medicare-advantage-left-and-right.html).

💡 Why? Insurance companies behind these plans are notorious for delaying prompt care, underpaying providers after services are rendered and, in many cases, not paying at all. This is essentially wage theft, and these advantage plans are becoming a major problem in healthcare. 99% of the time, they are 💩
