Jaw pain? Can’t sleep? Congrats, you’re in perimenopause and your tongue has chosen violence.

Here’s the thing: your tongue is incredibly powerful. It can either ruin your entire existence or actually help you. Right now it’s probably just sitting there wrong, clenching your jaw, blocking your airway, making sleep impossible. A true menace.

Myofunctional therapy retrains the muscles, breaks the bad habits your face has developed, and releases all that fascia tension creating adorable little feedback loops of pain. Pair that with someone who actually listens to you? That’s when the magic happens.

The fact that no one mentions this while you’re suffering is genuinely fascinating. Like we all just agreed to keep it a secret.

So honestly? I’m thrilled the cosmic universe aligned and you found this post. Because now you know there’s actual help out there. Wild concept. 🤍

We don’t know what we don’t know, and it shows in our profession. After the intro course, there's a huge knowledge gap, regardless of your license. We need a unified understanding of myofunctional education, principles, and specific populations. We can't treat what we don't understand, and we can't support emotional and physical needs without knowing who we're treating. With almost 10 years of experience and specializing in functional therapy, sleep, and airway issues, I've compiled evidence-based information to help you confidently treat your patients with the best outcomes.

Why Exercises Beat "Habit Appliances"

The Problem: Your tongue thrust is a habit which is an automatic pattern your brain learned through repetition.

Why appliances don't work: They use pain to stop the old habit but never teach your brain the NEW, correct pattern.

Why myofunctional therapy works:

Build a new automatic pattern through repetition
Your brain physically changes with practice (neuroplasticity)
Eventually the correct tongue position becomes as automatic as the old one
The Science: Recent studies show habits live in specific brain areas. To change them, you need to create a stronger competing habit, not just block the old one. That takes practice, not punishment.

We need to talk about why women’s exhaustion is so invisible.

Sleep medicine was built on male bodies. The diagnostic tools? Designed for men. The criteria for sleep apnea? Based on oxygen deprivation—but women’s bodies respond differently. We arouse and fragment our sleep more than we stop breathing. Which means we’re being missed entirely.

Then add in our hormones. Estrogen and progesterone directly affect our airway muscle tone and how we respond to chemical shifts that support breathing. And these hormones look different in each decade—hell, in each year—of our lives.

On top of this, we’re carrying the nighttime load. Waking with sick kids. Managing bedtime routines. Our tired looks completely different than a man’s tired.

I didn’t know it wasn’t normal to feel this exhausted. And once I learned the truth, I turned it into my career.

Women need actual support—not just being told to “sleep more.” That means understanding how our cycles influence sleep. Strengthening the muscles inside our mouths and tongues through myofunctional therapy. Addressing breathing patterns that get disrupted by anxiety and multiple arousals. Hormone education. Being heard and seen.

This is what I do now. Because women deserve tools that actually work for our biology. We deserve to feel supported the way we should have been all along.

We’re out here hanging on by a thread. Let’s change that.

If you don’t understand tongue FUNCTION and how this organ impacts the entire body, you have no business diagnosing or treating tongue ties. Period.

I’m calling out the self-proclaimed “airway experts” — orthodontists performing releases they’re not trained for, ENTs, dentists, pediatricians — the list goes on. Just because someone has a degree and a polished Instagram doesn’t mean they have the clinical competence to evaluate functional movement patterns and resting postures of the tongue.

The tongue is an ORGAN. It’s responsible for critical functions our bodies need to THRIVE — not just swallow, not just talk, but breathing, development, posture, sleep, digestion, and more.

I’m exhausted watching families get pressured into unnecessary procedures by practitioners who can’t even properly assess tongue function in relationship to the whole body. What looks shiny and credentialed on the outside can still cause serious harm.

**Your best move?** Work with an experienced myofunctional therapist who actually understands the evidence, can advocate for your family, and will guide you through a collaborative approach with qualified providers. You deserve practitioners who know what they’re doing — not just what they’re selling.

Trust your gut. Ask questions. Demand better. 💪

I’m always open to collaboration, but the vibes have to match the mission 💫

When I’m investing time and energy into discussing early intervention and airway-focused care with orthodontist offices, I need partners who truly GET IT.

Recently, I was told there’s “no way” we could see children earlier than 7, and that they’re “not in the camp of just putting expanders on kids with primary teeth.”

They completely missed the point. 🤦‍♀️

This isn’t about slapping expanders on every kid. It’s about understanding the BIGGER PICTURE of early intervention and the critical role we play in our children’s airway development and their futures.

Here’s what I’m really asking: Who is willing to see that things need to change? Who understands the valuable role they play in protecting our children’s airways? Who is ready to challenge what they’ve done for years and look at it differently?

We practice SCIENCE. Science is ever-evolving. What we couldn’t do 50 years ago is standard today. We HAVE to evolve. We HAVE to change.

I’m looking for collaborators who are ready to join me in changing lives and changing futures. The frustration is real, but so is the mission.

Who’s with me? 🙋‍♀️

Just some food for thought our own experiences in life form who we are, but as a role of a healthcare provider is to simply educate and support based on our position.

be sure to remind yourself this often, best practices and outcomes when patient and provider are fully on board and working synchronistically together!

Would you continue to put in a very injured player on the starting line up?

Yes we want to take a holistic approach, but we also have to consider the severity of the diseased tissue.

Based on a collaborative approach sometimes we need to discuss realistic management of sleek disorders vs what parents WANT.

Ultimately it’s about advocating for the child based on evidenced based practice.
