We are officially one month away from the STAR Course.

If you have been looking to strengthen your foundational understanding of oral restrictions and the pediatric airway/sleep disordered breathing, this course is designed to provide a clear, structured, and clinically applicable framework.

Over two days, we will cover diagnosis, case selection, interdisciplinary collaboration, and treatment considerations, with a strong emphasis on practical integration into daily practice.

This is a comprehensive, evidence-informed approach intended to support providers in delivering thoughtful, elevated care to their patients.

If this is an area you have been wanting to approach with more clarity and confidence, we would be happy to have you join us.

As we welcome this new season, we are grateful for our families, our patients, and the opportunity to grow alongside all of you.

Wishing you a season filled with health, happiness, and new beginnings.

So excited for this next course!!!

My practice is centered on oral restrictions (tongue ties) and pediatric airway and growth modification, and I’ve been focused in this area since 2015. The most common questions I’m asked are how to begin learning and treating in this space, and how to determine when and where to refer within an interdisciplinary model.

For the past few years, I’ve taught The STAR Course, where we address exactly these foundational questions. The course is designed to teach the core principles behind oral restriction assessment and treatment, airway focused growth guidance, and functional pediatric care. It is especially well suited for clinicians who want to begin incorporating procedures such as frenectomy, as well as those looking to expand and refine protocols within an existing practice. I co teach alongside multiple therapists to provide a truly collaborative and comprehensive view of care.

I’m deeply passionate about this work and about helping children eat, sleep, breathe, grow, and thrive.

Here is the information for our upcoming May course. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I would love to connect with more of you.

Great start to the weekend at ALSC’s Breathe and Thrive 2026. Always wonderful connecting with old friends, meeting new colleagues, and learning nonstop. I truly love presenting and helping educate what I’m so passionate about. Excited to see what the next two days will bring.

Also, baby Tristan’s first conference of 2026! He’ll be a tongue tie and pediatric airway specialist before he knows it 😂

Grateful for another visit with with and an update on our MARPE journeys. I’ve still got a ways to go but the experience has been very educational for me. He is truly exceptional and I feel so fortunate to be under his care. Experiencing this process myself has been incredibly valuable as we begin offering these same airway focused MARPE services to our own patients. So appreciative for thoughtful mentorship, advanced care, and the chance to grow both personally and professionally. Here’s to breathing better!
