Ep 331: Inside My MARPE Journey with Hallie Bulkin, MA, CCC-SLP, CMT®, CPFT™


In this solo episode of The Untethered Podcast™, Hallie Bulkin opens up about her decision to undergo Mini Screw Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (MARPE). Despite previous expansion efforts, Hallie experienced persistent post-nasal drip, jaw pain, facial asymmetry, and disrupted sleep. All of which led her to explore MARPE as the next step toward improved airway and overall wellness.


She explains what MARPE is, how it works, and what the treatment entails, including the placement of mini implants and the use of a device to split the mid-palatal suture. Hallie also shares her personal motivations, what the treatment plan looks like under Dr. Koval's care, and what improvements she’s hoping to see in her breathing, sleep, and facial comfort.


Whether you're a patient considering MARPE, a professional in airway or myofunctional therapy, or simply curious about real-life expansion stories, this episode offers a grounded, firsthand look at this powerful treatment approach.
