Last month I did my first in-person training to teach providers to do what I do.

There were small blips, some tech issues, no cameraman, a cancelled baby, and my tiny laptop. But you know what? You gotta start somewhere. The students were grateful, they learned a lot, and they are hungry for more. 🤩

I even have prospective students willing to FLY TO CA to take my training! I can’t wait to host the next one. Follow for details, dates, and more!

Happy Tuesday to all my amazing clients that are putting in the work, tired, stressed out, and doing your best. It’s not easy.

But take a moment today to just dance and let it out. 🤩

I’m always just a call away. 💕

Comment “party” and I’ll send you details to register :)

When I sat down with Linda at to talk about the event she asked me, “what would be the purpose of this event for your practice?” I laughed and said, “nothing. It’s just time to party with my mamas and providers!”

And she said, “I love it!”

I needed someone who also understands a woman’s body post-baby. Linda’s team helped my sister so much. So I guess if there’s a purpose it would be to provide some useful info for them in a supportive and fun environment.

As for my practice, we already helped the babies. Now it’s time for the mamas to let loose. 🥳

Come celebrate with us!

⭐️ Tongue Tie Tuesday ⭐️

🙅🏻‍♀️ Many parents are told, “the tie is mild” or “there isn’t one,” without anyone really looking at how things are working. Ties don’t always cause obvious problems right away—but function over time matters.

✅ Feeding patterns, jaw movement, breathing, and compensation can shape things like speech, dental growth, and eating skills as kids get older.

💕 This isn’t meant to scare parents but to inform you. A functional assessment helps families make better decisions and build the right support team when needed.

⭐️ Milestone Monday ⭐️

Hands to mouth is a good thing! When babies bring their fingers to their mouth, they’re calming their nervous system, exploring their body, and building early body awareness.

Clinically, this milestone also tells us:

• Baby is developing midline control (bringing both sides of the body together)

• Baby is building early coordination between the hands, mouth, and eyes

🔔 Try to limit mittens and gloves when possible. Bare hands provide important sensory input that supports regulation, coordination, and comfort. Babies learn through touch.

Let those fingers explore 👐

⭐️ Fun Fact Friday ⭐️

🩵 Talking to your baby isn’t about them understanding words. It’s about co-regulation.

💛 Your calm voice helps settle their nervous system… and often yours too.

🩷 Slow, warm, familiar sounds = safety, connection, and grounding for you both.

✨ The skills your toddler develops are the skills they acquire during infancy.

👩‍🏫 How to get your baby off to a good start:

➡️ Limit containment like swaddles, car seats, strollers, chairs, bouncers, and rockers. Excessive use can lead to flat spots, retained reflexes, and inhibit growth and development.

➡️ Tummy time needs to happen right after birth. Back, side-lying, and tummy. Sleeping on your chest on their tummy is not enough. They need awake, active movement.

➡️ If you are not breastfeeding and primarily bottle feeding, make sure you still root your baby and switch sides. Bottle fed babies tend to develop head and neck tension, head tilts, and reduced oral functioning.

➡️ Babies should not necessarily develop hand-dominance early on. They should be able to use both sides of their body. This includes tongue mobility to the left, right, up, down, in, and out.

❓Not sure if your baby needs additional support? Ask questions and get answers.

‼️ Head tilts, flat spots, and side preferences are not normal.

🫢 When an OT meets a pelvic floor specialist…fun is bound to happen.

💕 Motherhood changes your body and too often moms quietly navigate those changes alone. We want you to talk about it and celebrate it with us.

✨This will be a day for our mamas to play, sip, connect, and remember that your body is powerful, worthy, and still yours!

➡️ and are cooking up some spicy games, giveaways, and surprises.

❣️ This will be a private/ticketed event for former or current clients. PROVIDERS INCLUDED. Save the date and follow us for more details to come.

The innocence, joy, and amusement he finds in a light switch is a reminder for all of us to just enjoy 2026 for all that it has to offer.

🤩

Happy 2026, everyone!

Love,

All silliness aside, I’m still evaluating babies to this day, that come to me with months (and some even years) of dysfunction being told by multiple providers that there isn’t an issue or that their child will simply grow out of it.

If you’re a provider that does not believe in tongue ties or you don’t fully understand it, let’s talk. Let’s collaborate. Let’s support each other.

This includes providers that are not referring babies out properly or are waiting much too long to bring up OT, PT, or SLP.
