Emma is joined by Renata Nehme, a Myofunctional Therapist and founder of the Airway Circle.  Together they discuss:

* Beginning as a Dental Hygienist and then discovering Myofunctional Therapy training.

* Renata's own story of mouth breathing as a child which she thinks affected her facial development.

* How Myofunctional Therapy can help people with sleep apnea as a secondary therapy, not a first-line treatment.

* Issues in parenting affecting kids' airway and facial development.

* The different ways a tongue-tie can be released.

* Renata talks about setting up the Airway Circle, a group to foster interdisciplinary collaboration among airway professionals.
