The Voice, The Tongue & The Airway with Jessica LuffeyIn this fascinating episode, I sit down with Jessica Luffey (CSOM, MM)—a Certified Specialist in Orofacial Myology and professional operatic soprano—to explore the profound connection between vocal performance, orofacial myology, and airway health.Raised in a dental family and trained in elite vocal performance, Jessica has pioneered groundbreaking insights into how tongue ties, craniofacial function, and myofunctional therapy impact singers at the highest level. With extensive training under experts like Dr. Soroush Zaghi and Dr. Richard Baxter, her work has transformed the way vocalists—from Grammy-winning artists to opera stars—understand and optimize their instrument: the body.

Newly Erupted host Dr. Joel Berg is joined by Karen Masters, a speech pathologist with almost 40 years of clinical experience related to orofacial myology to discuss orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs), treatment plans, and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. Masters specifically delves into the importance of pediatric dentists and dental hygienists being familiar with OMDs and understanding ways to promote individualized care plans. Guest Bio: Karen Masters is a speech pathologist with almost 40 years of clinical experience. Karen attended Ithaca College where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Speech Pathology and then Emerson College where she completed her Master's degree in Communication Disorders. Karen is also a Certified Orofacial Myologist through the IAOM and completed the requirements through NeoHealth Services to be awarded her QOM. Karen quickly realized that signs and symptoms of orofacial myofunctional disorders were seen in many of the patients being treated in her practice and as a result encouraged all the speech therapists working for her to pursue training and all have completed a 28-30 hour course in the assessment and treatment of Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders. Karen's practice, Chatham Speech and Myo (www.chathamspeechandmyo.com) in Chatham, NJ is thrilled to collaborate with otolaryngologists, orthodontists, dentists, pediatric dentists, oral surgeons, occupational therapists and other speech pathologists to provide the best treatment sequence for the patients they see.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Thank you for reading Evolve Lactation with Christine Staricka IBCLC. This post is public so feel free to share it.Happy IBCLC Day! In celebration, I have a really special episode of the podcast for you. I am so excited to share with you my conversation with my dear friend and fellow IBCLC, Adrienne Guirguis. I cannot begin to count up how much I have learned from Adrienne over the years. She is everything you want your IBCLC to be: brilliant, compassionate, humble, confident, open-minded and accepting. She is a whiz at lactation triage on the hospital inpatient floor, patient and gentle with everyone who is in the room for a lactation consultation, and absolutely ravenous for new knowledge and information. I would never hesitate to refer a client to her for any lactation issue, and I believe she represents the ideal in an IBCLC. Let's get to know Adrienne!Adrienne Guirguis, a board certified lactation consultant, has over 25 years experience in helping breastfeeding infants and their families. She began her journey into the world of lactation after struggling to breastfeed her oldest son. She became an accredited La Leche League leader and was able to help babies breastfeed. Her experience with La Leche League led Adrienne to become a International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). She has been board certified for 20 years and has experience with a wide range of problems that may be experienced by new families. Adrienne has worked in hospital for over 10 years and then worked in community health for many years. She is a clinical practitioner, working hands on with families to improve feeding outcomes.Adrienne continues her lactation education, constantly attending conferences and courses to stay up-to-date on the information and skills needed to benefit those who most need breastfeeding help. She is a certified Specialist in Orofacial Myology. In 2022 Adrienne completed the Holistic Integrative/Functional Lactation course, a year long program followed by a residency. This course has increased her skills to provide the best care for the families with whom she works.Adrienne also is an educator, working within the community to teach others the skills necessary to become lactation counselors and eventually board certified lactation consultants. She is the President of the Central Valley Lactation Association, an official chapter of USLCA. Thank you for reading Evolve Lactation with Christine Staricka IBCLC. This post is public so feel free to share it.Adrienne joined me on the Evolve Lactation Podcast for a conversation where we take a look back over all of the settings in which she has practiced lactation care. The diversity of practice settings really sets her apart and gives her unique perspectives on how best to care for mothers and babies. Over the span of more than 25 years, she has seen breastfeeding unfold over the hours, days, months, and years along the entire spectrum of infant and child development. From teaching prenatal breastfeeding classes to private prenatal consultations, from seeing newborns nursing in the hospital to the community clinic to the home visit, and babies and toddlers of all ages in support groups, Adrienne has seen a lot in her lactation career. One of her strengths is connecting with mothers and fathers, building relationships with them so that they can trust her with their lactation needs. Having a newborn brings the new parent into a vulnerable space, and Adrienne has a gift for engaging them in a way that brings them comfort and support so that they can enjoy their baby.In fact, her connections with her clients are so strong and so important to the parents she serves that her private practice's strongest referral source is word of mouth. People trust her with the lactation care of the people they love, and there is no greater testimonial than that. In this episode, we take a ride in our time machine (because we've known each other and worked together for a LONG time!) and reflect on how lactation care has evolved over the years since we first met when she was my La Leche League Leader with my second and third daughters. I love interviewing people on this podcast - even when I already know them, I learn a surprising amount about them by asking questions I'd never think to ask otherwise. Come along with me and Adrienne for our conversation about our work, together and separate, as IBCLCs over the years! If you'd like to learn more about (and from!)

Welcome to today's episode where we delve into a topic that is often overlooked but has a profound impact on our oral and overall health: Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs). These disorders can affect various aspects of our lives, from the way we chew and swallow to our speech and even our facial appearance.Key Takeaways:What are OMDs?Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders refer to a range of conditions that disrupt the normal growth and function of orofacial structures, including the mouth, teeth, tongue, jaw, and face. These disorders can be linked to a variety of issues such as breathing difficulties, swallowing problems, speech impediments, and broader health concerns. The Role of Myofunctional TherapyIf you're wondering how to address these issues, the answer may lie in Myofunctional Therapy. Known by various names like Orofacial Myology, tongue therapy, and tongue thrust therapy, this treatment aims to correct abnormal tongue positions and improve muscle function in the orofacial region. How Does It Work?Think of Myofunctional Therapy as physical therapy for your face, mouth, and tongue. Through a series of targeted exercises, this therapy focuses on strengthening muscles and changing habits to improve breathing, speaking, chewing, and swallowing. Beyond the TongueWhile the therapy predominantly revolves around the tongue, it's crucial to understand that issues like tongue tie and tongue thrust are often indicators of a more significant underlying problem related to your airway. The Potential for TransformationThe benefits of undergoing a Myofunctional Therapy program can be life-altering. Not only does it aim to improve your oral health, but it also works towards enhancing your smile and increasing muscle function in the orofacial region. We would like to share about BREATHE framework: Breathe through your noseRest your tongue upEat, drink, chew, and swallow correctlyAlways keep your lips sealedTransform healthy and sustainable habitsHeal the root cause of your symptomsEvolve your habits for optimal health It's a comprehensive guide to understanding what Myofunctional Therapy aims to achieve. "Evolve your habits to create optimal health; that's really the root of what we do. Book a consultation today:I am always here to help answer any question and schedule a 15 minute call with me.

Orale Restriktionen können zu Schwierigkeiten beim Stillen oder in der Stillbeziehung führen. Ein Säugling kann beispielsweise Schwierigkeiten haben, die Brustwarze richtig zu erfassen, einen effektiven Saugreflex auszuüben oder ausreichend Milch zu bekommen. Dies kann nicht nur zu Stress bei der stillenden Mutter führen, sondern sich auch auf den Säugling übertragen und einen Teufelskreis in Gang setzen.

On this episode I spoke with Oromyofacial Myologist and Speech Therapist, Robynann Williams. This episode was mind-blowing! We spoke about how the tongue is connected to your face structure, your breathing, even your toes! We spoke about teeth clenching, (it's not all parasites and stress related) and how your tongue position can affect your hunched shoulders as well as back and neck tension. We also spoke about tongue tie and the epidemic of small jaws and elongated face shapes and why this is ocurring - and how to prevent it. This is a must-listen also for those with crowded teeth too. There is a reason the teeth are crowded and just straightening them isn't always the long-term solution.

I got a message from a subscriber of my channel named Susi Quintana. She graciously corrected one of the tongue exercises on one of my sleep apnea and snoring videos and opened my eyes to the world of myofunctional therapy. Since then, I have sent patients her way and bounce information off of her on a regular basis. What I do with my throat opening and tongue and mouth exercising videos can help a lot of people but it is not tailored to a specific person with a specific diagnosis related to breathing, snoring, being tongue tied, etc. So, there is Susi who evaluates online and takes someone through a journey through this important part of your physiology.  Breathing, sleeping, even having a 60 year old be able to roll her tongue for the first time are some of the benefits I have seen myofunctional therapy accomplish. Myofunctional therapy helps people with tongue thrust, snoring, sleep apnea, swallowing problems, dental issues and even asthma, allergies, acid reflux, bruxism (clenching your teeth) and TMJ issues.  It concentrates on objective measurement and resulting oral facial muscle and tongue therapy. We don't think too much about fine tuning our tongues but it can make a difference that gives benefits for the rest of our lives.  When I use myofunctional therapists, I have them work with me as I adjust the cranial bones using endonasal cranial adjusting, apply lasers on the soft palate for snoring, do posture correction, TMJ therapy and other therapies that may, also, involve a dentist that specializes in maxilla expansion and other corrective therapies for the mouth. Susi Quintana is a Registered Dental Hygienist of over 20 years.  She is also a Certified Orofacial Myologist (or COM) through the International Association of Orofacial Myology (or IAOM).  She is the first certified myofunctional therapist with a dental background in Houston, and the 5th in the entire state of Texas. She has her own myofunctional therapy business in the Houston, TX area – but provides virtual therapy as well – which means she can provide therapy to anyone anywhere. She got into myofunctional therapy after facing airway and sleep concerns with her daughter and talks about this journey with us on the podcast. Susi works with people from toddlers to seniors and can be reached by the following: Susi Quintana, RDH, BSDH, COM MyofunctionalMethod.com HoustonMyofunctionalTherapy.com AirwayHouston.com 832-452-9441 Dr Fields is a practicing chiropractor in San Jose, CA and can be reached for telehealth or in-person visits by gong to www.fieldsfamilychiro.com and clicking “book online”.

Some people find it adorable when a baby sucks his or her thumb. Although that is a normal occurrence, the continuation of the habit into the toddler and elementary school years of a child could negatively affect their oral and facial development.Thumb sucking can cause some children to create what is commonly known as a dental openbite (a vertical space between the upper and lower teeth where the teeth do not touch). This open bite is a dental issue most difficult to correct.Other children will suck their thumb to the point that it appears that their top teeth are “sticking out”. This would require orthodontic treatment to correct. But the biggest issue that thumb sucking causes is changes to the bottom jaw that can affect the normal growth of the jaw which negatively affects the child's face. This is caused by the thumb or finger preventing the lower jaw from coming forward and growing properly during thumb sucking.The negative effects to the teeth and jaw depends on the frequency, intensity and duration of the child's sucking habit.  Frequency is the number of times the child is sucking during the day.  Intensity is the amount of force that is applied to the teeth and jaw during sucking.  Duration is the total amount of time spent sucking.  The more frequent, the more intense and the longer the duration of the sucking habit, the more likely it is to affect the child's developing oral structure and jaw.Dr. Liliana Calkins is a Specialist in Orthodontics and Craniofacial Orthopedics at Sunrise Orthodontics Facial & Airway Development Center. As an esteemed member of the International Academy of Orofacial Myology and the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine she is trained to address pediatric facial development issues resulting from thumb sucking.

Our minds and eyes were opened during our conversation with Seema, an Orofacial Myologist. Seema comes to the table with a wealth of knowledge and the desire to share how important a clear and healthy airway is for numerous developmental reasons. To name a few, thumb sucking during sleep can be a way to keep the tongue in proper position to keep the airway clear; if babies are snoring, they should be seen by a doctor as it is likely a sign of something being amiss; children who are under-slept can present ADHD symptoms; tongue ties and lip ties are best corrected during infancy but go missed in many cases. In this episode you will learn about what signs to look for if you, your child, or someone you know could benefit from Orofacial Therapy. Seema also shares what products to stay away from and/or use in order to prevent needing the therapies. There are many resources available to parents and caregivers in order to help their kids with global development, and as parents we are our child's best advocate. This episode gives you one more tool in your parental toolbox for raising the healthiest and happiest kiddo. Join our conversation on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/momlifethepodcast/

Have you ever asked yourself the question ‘what exactly is Orofacial Myology' or ‘what does an Orofacial Myologist do? Orofacial Myologists are registered allied health practitioners who already hold extensive knowledge and familiarity with the head and neck and who have undertaken further (and ongoing) study to combine their pre-existing knowledge and experience to offer functional assistance for clients. In this episode, I explain how orofacial myofunctional therapy can be an important adjunct to traditional health services and the approach that Townsvile Orofacial Myology takes to help clients obtain and maintain improved health outcomes. Clients often seek ‘OM' to prepare for oral or airway surgery,  for rehabilitation afterwards or to help address incorrect habits or poor function. There is no typical client and each case is individually assessed. TOfM is Townsville's only independent clinic and as such, clients are able to seek help and advice while continuing to work with their existing health care providers, incorporating orofacial myofunctional therapy without bias.   In this same way, for regional or remote clients where 'face to face'  visits may not be practical, telehealth services available. Further information can be found and contact details are available  at:www.townsvilleofm.com.au  

Nasal  hygiene is the number one thing that can contribute to better  sleep…yeah, we didn't know that was a thing either.  We all know that sleep is important and that most of us do not get enough in quantity or perhaps quality to really perform at our best.  We all know that a  darker room is better and that our phones and other screens are detrimental to our sleep quality.  On this episode, we will learn many different techniques in the whirlwind form that will benefit our sleep greatly.Patreon Link - https://www.patreon.com/macp_podcastBrittny earned her Bachelor's Degree in Dental Hygiene from the Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in 2011.

The insight of a general dentist with a mind that never stopped learning (and discovering) is now playing a significant role in helping a wide range of the population. When Dr Kevin Bourke, a Newcastle (Australia) based practitioner invented a chewing device in the 1960's he was ahead of his time. His insight then into the orofacial myofunctional world is playing out today into the lives of young and old and in this episode, I chat with his daughter and CEO of Myo Munchee Australia Dr Mary Bourke. We look at the history of the ‘munchee', the realms in which it is now being used and the effectiveness across a broad spectrum of care applications.  An experienced and passionate chiropractor herself,  Mary brings explains the role the chewing plays in physical and cognitive development and together we address some of the issues we see that are hampering a variety of the natural development and ongoing wellness in society today, and how the MyoMunchee is playing a beneficial role in regaining some lost ground for our clients.  

The issue of tongue ties affecting infant feeding is not new, but it has become more topical in the past few years as parents have begun to value the role that breastfeeding plays in early nutrition and oral development. The WHO recommends that babies exclusively breastfeed for 6 months and encourage that it continues up to two years of age. However, for those who choose this for their baby, what are the barriers to a successful breastfeeding (or even bottle-feeding) journey for a mother and baby? In what way does a tongue tie affect this?Dr Cara Riek, is an Arizona based health practitioner and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC ) who assists families to achieve positive breastfeeding outcomes through thorough evaluation of both the mother and baby and, if required, provides a release of the tethered oral tissues via laser procedure at her specialist practice, the Arizona Breastfeeding Medicine and Wellness Centre.In this episode, Dr Cara explains the physics of successful feeding and why the baby's muscle movement is so important. We discuss the possible reasons why we are seeing an increase in the prevalence of ties and parents seeking assistance and the recommendation for aftercare.  This episode also provides a glimpse into some of the ongoing effects that tongue ties can present for an older child or adult now that Dr Cara's services are increasingly sought after for the wellness journey for older patients as well.Further information on the  Arizona Breastfeeding Medicine and Wellness Centre can be found on their website  http://bfmedaz.comDr Cara Riek can be contacted via email: support@bfmedaz.comInternational Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC) of Australia and New Zealand  https://www.lcanz.org/Worldwide register: https://iblce.org/public-registry/ Townsville Orofacial Myology Clinic http://www.townsvilleofm.com.au

The art of breathing well, (physiologically correctly that is) may well be regarded as a  “lost art” in this day and age. In this episode, I chat with breathing educator and developer of the BreatheAbility®  breathing retraining method, Tess Graham. Tess is an Australian physiotherapist who found early in her career that her own children were developing asthma, and yet her training was largely unable to offer the help that she needed and wanted for her them. With much research and further study, Tess managed to forge a way of helping not only her own children but children and adults of all ages. Their improved day to day breathing techniques led to significant gains in general health and wellness for her clients.Tess explains the basics of her BreatheAbility® technique and the ease in which it can be incorporated into everyday life. She describes some of the advantages that addressing the basic method of improving oxygen intake has on the body. It is about optimising every breath you take!Tess no longer sees clients directly but has concentrated the latter part of her career in educating other allied health practitioners enabling them to incorporate a simple but highly effective breathing technique to their own communities.An international speaker, author and health advocate Tess has been instrumental in my own education pathway and has been a huge advantage in assisting my clients in matters pertaining to their own health and wellness improvement. For further information:Tess Graham website: BreatheAbility.comBook: Relief from Snoring and Sleep Apnoea-by Tess GrahamBook: Relief from Anxiety and Panic-by Tess GrahamOnline Breathing Course:  "BreatheAway" with Tess Graham:   BreatheAway.com.au For orofacial myofunctional therapy help and advice:Townsville Orofacial Myology Clinic: http://www.townsvilleofm.com.au 

In today's episode, Brittny chats with the FABULOUS Angie Lehman, RDH, COM ®. Angie runs one of the most successful and well known private practices, Oral Myofunctional Therapy of York. She is also the Secretary for the International Association of Orofacial Myology. Listen as Brittny and Angie discuss a multitude of topics relating to OMDs, but really drive home the importance of chewing and swallowing mechanics in a myo program. Angie is a special guest. Brittny met Angie at a course in 2017, and since has always looked to Angie for support and guidance.Website:https://omtofyork.com/Seminars:https://omtofyork.com/seminars/

Melissa Niemi, Therapy Operations Manager at Anne Carlsen Center in Fargo, was on the show to share more about her work in Orofacial Myology. Niemi talked about the different specialties including oromyofunctional therapy, tongue tie identification, feeding and swallowing disorders, and more.

Continuing with our second season, I am excited to introduce you to Jacqueline Kincer an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) and a CSOM (Certified Specialist in Orofacial Myology) and host of the podcast The Breastfeeding Talk. I am excited to talk to Jacqueline about this very important topic; because building resiliency during breastfeeding is crucial. Besides giving us amazing information about the breastfeeding journey, she reminds us of how important it is to reach out for support during this journey. We also talk about the most common issues and struggles moms and even their partners go through and some great resources that are available for parents nowadays. Some books that she recommends are: It Shouldn't Hurt to Nurse your Baby by Lisa Paladino Mother Food by Hilary Jacobson Her website, Instagram, and podcast are also great places for content and resource for moms and parents.

In today's episode, Brittny speaks with one of her very own mentors and trainers, Sandra Holztman. Sandra dives into how she entered the world of Orofacial Myology and how the Myo Manual came to be born. Sandra's organization, Neo-Health, is well known for the support they offer even after a therapist graduates (Brittny can attest to that). It was through Sandra's organization that Brittny became a QOM (Qualified Orofacial Myologist). We hear about orofacial myology through an SLPs eyes. Sandra discusses the distinct difference between orofacial myology and speech pathology. Listen to Sandra, a leading pioneer, reveal what she contributes her success to. You don't want to miss this one!

"Thumb sucking” might have a big name, but the more technical term for sticking your fingers in your mouth? Is “oral habit”. Thumbs aren't the only things that get put into your mouth, or your kids mouth, on a regular basis. At this crucial time that we're developing this podcast, Corona virus is rapidly spreading around the world. It's a really appropriate time to be looking at oral habits, and not only how they can impact on facial growth and development, but basic hygiene as well. Having your fingers in your mouth spreads germs, and we should try to avoid it in ourselves, and in our children, as much as possible. Orofacial Myology is a field of study, or type of research that looks closely at the causes of oral habits, why they occur, and the impact that oral habits can have on the face, the mouth, and function. Orofacial Myology is integral in the diagnosis, and treatment of oral habits, and part one of this series will deep dive into all of these things.  

#3  Pat and Cathy are both orofacial myologists with dental backgrounds. The role of incorrect muscular movement and strength can adversely affect the development of oral habits, breathing, chewing and speaking and can be a powerful force in changing the shape of the teeth and jaws. They discuss their roles and the experiences that have made this part of their career so rewarding.

Let’s face it; as an oral health coach, I spend a lot of time in groups answering questions about cavities and children. The stories I hear and the pictures I see break my heart daily. It also keeps me going when I feel like giving up. Many dental professionals will tell you that flossing, fluoride and dental visits help banish cavities, while many natural healing people will state that diet and nutrition are the keys to healing and halting them.  And while both dental visits and nutrition can be beneficial to controlling cavities, I also feel that there are bodily habits and functions that often are overlooked by both sides of the oral health world which contribute greatly to cavities. Stacey Fletcher, RDH, BS, OMT joins me on today’s podcast and we talk about how mouth breathing, tongue ties, breastfeeding and bacteria all play a major role in the cavities in kid’s mouths, and why (don’t worry we won’t be telling you that we think breastmilk causes them). Not only is Stacey is a dental hygienist, she also is a myofunctional therapist and is finishing her clinical hours for lactation consulting.  She’s also enrolled in a holistic lactation course as well.  Stacey shares with us that her son’s mouth ties were what started her down the path of learning about these issues, and how that has helped shape her future thoughts on dental hygiene and cavity control/prevention in kids. Have a listen as we explore these issues, why they contribute to cavities, and what parents can look for at home to help them determine if their child is perhaps suffering with these issues that could be contributing to the cavities their child is suffering with. Know that if you are aware or suspect that your child is suffering with a tie, it does not necessarily mean that they are doomed to a mouthful of cavities. It may mean that you could use specific products and tools at home to control the bacteria, acids and dryness that increase the likelihood of cavities or increase the speed at which they seem to come on. Many parents will tell you that a serious cavity started as a small dot and seemed to rapidly take over the entire tooth.  As an oral health coach, this is the gap that I help close for you and your family.  The products and tools that you use at home matter more than you can imagine and the way you use them is equally important. 21 Days to a Healthy Mouth is an at home online program designed to give you the information that you need to create healthy smiles at home and help control the cavity epidemic we are dealing with these days. It’s packed with video’s a private FB group, and one on one sessions with me.  Many families have used this program, and have had wonderful success controlling cavities in their mouths.  Ask yourself, are you ready to be next?

In this program, I interview Ms. Joy Moeller, an orofacial myologist, on how the way you use your mouth and tongue can profoundly affect the way  you speak, swallow, and breathe. Here's what we discuss: 1. What is orofacial myology (also called myofunctional therapy)? 2. How is this related to snoring and obstructive sleep apnea? 3. What can you do to help TMD/TMJ patients? 4. How does myofunctional therapy help forward head and neck posture? 5. Why is this treatment not taught in medical or dental schools yet? 6. Can young children benefit from orofacial myology? 7. And much more…
