Is your child’s speech is still unclear after therapy?
The issue is not the words
but how the jaw, lips, and tongue are
stabilizing, coordinating together, & moving independently.

03/12/2026

Is your child is hard to understand,
Is has their mouth open at rest
Do they smack their lips while chewing, &/or
Do they take a long time to eat?

If any of these is true, it is a problem with the muscles in the mouth.
These skills can improve with individualized step by step guidance
by an SLP (like me) trained in myo (the function of muscles in the face & mouth).

Comment BESST if your child is struggling with any of these issues and we’ll DM you more info.

03/11/2026

If you’ve noticed your child has difficulty with any of these areas, you’re not alone and support is available.
Every child deserves to feel confident when they talk, eat, and breathe. 💛

As an Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), I specialize in training the mouth & facial muscles
for speech, chewing, eating, swallowing, & nasal breathing,
I help parents support their children who have one or more of these challenges.

Follow along for tips, education, and practical strategies you can use at home. ✨

Your child isn’t being difficult — they need better mouth skills.
Clear speech, safe chewing, and confident swallowing all improve
with small, daily practice.
Consistency at home makes a powerful difference.

Has your child has already had speech therapy BUT their speech is still unclear?

The REAL underlying issues are stability, control, coordination & independent movement of the muscles in the mouth, not vocabulary or repetition.

To get started today with improving these skills for your child, comment BESST if and we’ll DM you more information.

03/08/2026

Which of these challenges does your child have?:
*Unclear speech?
*Not understood by friends & family?
*Take a L O N G time to chew?
*Lip smacking when chewing?
*Mouth open at rest more than closed?

If your child has two or more of these difficulties,
it's not behavior.
It's the stability, coordination, & independent movements of the muscles in the mouth.

your child at home with specilaized SLP guidance.

If your child is struggling with chewing, swallowing, or clear speech,
it's not a behavior or lack of effort...
but undeveloped mouth skills
that need small, consistent daily practice.

I created a FREE 5 Tips for Daily Home Practice guide to help you get started right away.

If your child is smacking their lips, chewing with lips open, or only moving their jaw up&down,
these are not bad manners or bad behaviors,
they lack the mouth skills to chew appropriately.
They need daily repetition to improve.

Comment ROUTINE if your child is struggling with chewing or mouth skills & we will DM you.

If your child is constantly being asked to repeat themselves,
a tongue tie may by limiting how easily their tongue can move and shape sounds.

I created a FREE guide to help you recognize the signs and understand your next steps.

If your child is struggling at meals,
it is not manners or behavior
but undeveloped mouth skills
that need simple daily practice.

03/03/2026

Is your child's mouth costing you money? 💸💸💸
Their tongue might be resting in the WRONG place.

If your child's tongue isn't fully resting on the roof (palate) inside their mouth
(when they aren't eating, drinking, or talking)...
then the roof (palate) can become more narrow as they grow.

Narrow palate = crowded teeth = braces = 💸💸💸

What's the CORRECT Mouth Resting Position?
Lips--> Closed

Tongue--> ALL of it Up on the Roof of mouth

Breathing--> In/Out through the Nose

Comment below with your questions.
We will DM you.

03/02/2026

If your child rests with their mouth open on and off or most of the day,
it will affect how they speak, chew, breathe, and sleep.
Inside the BESST Life Club,
I train you to help your child how to achieve a closed mouth at rest at home.
