Final stretch 👏🏼

What started as an empty space is becoming deeply aligned with our mission. This space has been built with such intention. Every detail matters.

Designed to feel calm. Regulating. Grounded.
A space that supports the nervous system from the moment you walk in - for infants, children, teens, and adults alike.

We are not just building walls.
We are building a center dedicated to airway, function, feeding, and whole-person care.

We’re almost ready to open the doors. ✨
Can’t wait to welcome you 🤍

Where function meets heart 🤍
The faces behind the care. This is us 🫶🏼

✨ A new chapter. The same mission.

Over the past few years, something became very clear - our community needed more.

More depth.
More collaboration.
More education.
More alignment.
More space to grow alongside the care we provide.

So we listened.

We are expanding into over 2,000 square feet and evolving into:

Myofunctional Spot
Center for Tongue Tie, Airway, Feeding & Swallowing
Infants • Children • Teens • Adults

💫Created to support both families and the professionals who serve them.

This center is not about becoming bigger for the sake of growth.
It is about creating space for impact.

Space for additional therapy programs.
Space for workshops and professional education.
Space for client education.
Space to thoughtfully expand our team.
Space to better support both families and providers.

What is not changing:
Our philosophy.
Our individualized, concierge style care.
Our commitment to comprehensive functional assessment and coordinated treatment.

We will continue partnering closely with our amazing trusted release providers.
We will continue serving families locally and from near and far.
We will continue offering all services via Telehealth.

We are simply expanding how we serve and meet the need of the community.

Coral Springs. Spring 2026.

Construction is underway.
More to come.

Progress does not always follow a set schedule. 📅

When clinically indicated, we thoughtfully assess timing and provide care that supports optimal functional outcomes - even if that care is needed on a weekend.

👩🏻‍⚕️ This level of individualized decision-making is one of the benefits (and a hallmark) of our concierge-style practice.

Small daily wins lead to meaningful milestones. 🙌🏼

🚨 “Wait and see” is doing kids a disservice. 🚨

We hear it all the time
“Our Pediatrician told us to wait until age 4.”
“We were told she will grow out of it.”
“She’s too young for therapy.”

But here’s the truth 👇

Ages 1–4 are the MOST critical years for oral function, facial growth, airway development, and speech foundations.
This is when the brain is most adaptable and when small changes create lifelong impact.

By the time a child is 4, patterns are already established:
• tongue posture
• mouth breathing
• swallowing patterns
• jaw and facial growth
• feeding habits
• early speech development

❌Symptoms have already started: Sleep concerns, Snoring, Mouth Breathing, Enlarged Adenoids/Tonsils, Thumb Sucking, Picky Eating, Drooling etc.

Waiting doesn’t make these issues disappear.
It often allows them deepen and compensations are created.

💡 Important distinction:
Children under 4 are NOT receiving traditional “myofunctional therapy.”
They must be treated by a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) who specializes in Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders, using a developmentally appropriate approach that includes:
• oral motor foundations
• feeding and chewing development
• sensory integration
• airway and breathing support
• early myofunctional patterning

✨ That’s exactly why we created our Tiny Myo Program (Ages 1–4) ✨

This program is:
✔ play-based
✔ parent-guided
✔ rooted in function
✔ designed to support growth BEFORE problems escalate

And yes… we can accomplish SO much before age 4.
The earlier we support function, the better the outcome.

Early intervention isn’t aggressive.
Waiting is.

It depends. Before that question can be answered, it’s important to determine whether a true functional restriction is present.

Not all children suspected of having a tongue tie have tissue that is functionally limiting.
And not all feeding, speech, or breathing concerns are caused by restricted oral tissue.

Myofunctional therapy and surgical release address different aspects of care.

Myofunctional therapy focuses on function - how the tongue, lips, jaw, and orofacial muscles work during feeding, swallowing, speech, breathing, and at rest.

A surgical release addresses structure - restricted tissue that physically limits mobility when a true restriction is present.

Some children make excellent progress with therapy alone.
Others, following a comprehensive functional assessment, are found to have a true restriction and may benefit from a release in conjunction with therapy.

One purpose of myofunctional therapy, when restriction is suspected, is to assess function, improve strength and coordination, and help determine whether tissue restriction is contributing to symptoms.

When a release is indicated, pre-therapy also supports improved post-release outcomes.

Most importantly, decisions regarding tongue or lip release should never be based on appearance alone.

They require a thorough functional assessment, consideration of symptoms and response to therapy, and collaboration with appropriately trained release providers.

Our approach always begins with function first - allowing recommendations to be guided by clinical findings, not assumptions.

Very SCARY rendition of what I do 😂😂👅👅
