My beautiful baby girl quickly became the why behind this entire practice. Despite her perfect appearance, she faced a host of health challenges that weren’t immediately understood. Eventually, we discovered the root cause: undiagnosed tethered oral tissues—including a Class IV tongue tie, buccal ties, and a labial tie.

Although we were referred to a fantastic specialist and had a smooth procedure, the absence of therapeutic readiness beforehand led to a heartbreaking complication—severe oral aversion. The initial discomforts and challenges she experienced prior to the release coupled with an inadequate preparation for the procedure was all enough to derail her nervous system. She refused any feeding or stimulation to her mouth and ultimately needed a feeding tube to get the nutrition she needed.
