Airway health is not isolated to one specialty.

It involves growth, structure, function, and behavior — all working together.

That’s why collaboration matters.

Pediatricians provide developmental context.
ENTs evaluate airway structure and resistance.
Dentists influence jaw and oral development.
Therapists support functional coordination and adaptation.

When these perspectives are aligned, care becomes more complete — and outcomes become more durable.

Breathing is not just a symptom.
It is a system.

At The Breathe Institute, we prioritize communication across providers to better understand the full picture and support long-term health.

Happy World Voice Day 🎤
Legendary voices may seem like talent—but it’s biomechanics.
Your jaw, tongue, and breath shape every sound you make.

In the Vocal Vitality course, we break down how these subtle adjustments influence your voice and how to use them intentionally.

Explore Vocal Vitality with Robyn Merkel-Walsh through The Breathe Institute, now available on demand.

April 16 is World Voice Day—and we’re excited to unveil something different.

Vocal Vitality, led by Robyn Merkel-Walsh, MA, CCC-SLP, COM®, brings together clinical science and real-world voice performance in a way that’s rarely taught in one place.

This isn’t just another voice course.

It’s grounded in interdisciplinary research co-authored by Robyn Merkel-Walsh and Dr. Soroush Zaghi, showing that for many voice users, persistent strain, fatigue, limited range, and reduced stamina may not just be technique—with 91.7% of patients reporting improvement after functional treatment.

Which points to something bigger:
There’s often more going on beneath the surface of voice challenges.

Designed for SLPs, voice professionals, dentists, ENTs, performers, and anyone who relies on their voice, this course brings together:
• Speech pathology
• Myofunctional therapy
• Dental and airway science
• Vocal performance and coaching

To help you better understand how to improve voice quality, increase stamina and range, reduce strain and fatigue, and approach voice from a more complete, functional perspective.

What if we approached sleep apnea differently?

Not by waiting to manage it in adulthood but by recognizing how it develops over time.

Breathing influences growth.
Growth shapes the airway.
The airway influences sleep.

This is not a single moment problem.
It is a developmental pathway.

The future of airway medicine is preventive. With early identification and interdisciplinary collaboration, we have the opportunity to guide growth, support function, and reduce the likelihood of long-term disease.

Prevention does not start in adulthood.
It starts early.

Most courses give you information.

Very few change how you think.

That’s the difference.

Over 9 months, you don’t just learn topics.
You learn how to read research without guessing.
How to connect anatomy, function, and patient presentation.
How to make decisions you can actually stand behind.

Each month builds on the last.
Literature → anatomy → function → airway → intervention → complexity → application.

By the end, you’re not just more informed.
You’re more precise. More confident. More intentional in how you practice.

This is for providers who are done collecting information
and ready to actually use it.

Now accepting applications for Cohort 7.
Next class begins August 2026.

Happy Birthday Lesley 🫶🫶

From research to Myo, to the way you show up in our courses, you have a hand in so many meaningful parts of what we do.

It’s not often you come across someone who brings this kind of sharp thinking, curiosity, and genuine joy all in one. It makes working alongside you something special.

We’re truly grateful for your perspective, your presence, and the spark you add to everything you’re part of.

Hope this year gives some of that back to you in the best possible ways!

The question we ask every family is simple.

How is your child breathing at night?
Is their mouth open during sleep?
Do you hear breathing or snoring?
Do they wake up truly rested?

These are not small details.
They influence growth, behavior, learning, and long-term health.

Breathing during sleep should be quiet, nasal, and effortless.

If it is not, it deserves attention!

If these questions raise concern, you are not alone and there are answers.

Follow us to learn more about airway, sleep, and pediatric development.

Sometimes the missing piece isn’t another supplement, medication, or protocol-it’s your environment.

When symptoms linger despite doing
“all the right things,” it’s worth
considering what you’re being exposed to daily. Mold exposure can quietly impact respiratory health, cognitive function, energy levels, and overall well-being. Recognizing patterns early and taking action matters.

If something feels off and progress has stalled, consider having your home professionally evaluated. Identifying and remediating environmental triggers can be a critical step toward real, lasting improvement.

We dive deeper into this topic in our Breathe courses-our next one is coming up in August. Learn more at www.thebreatheinstitute.com

It’s easy to call them “just habits.”
But what if they’re actually signals?

Thumb sucking, mouth breathing, and tongue thrust can influence how a child grows—impacting airway development, facial structure, and even sleep quality.

Early recognition matters. Early support matters more.

If something feels off or isn’t improving with time, it’s worth a closer look.
