In this episode of the Tongue Tie Experts Podcast, host Lisa Paladino, CNM, IBCLC, speaks with Natalia Nordstrom and Lauren Lapointe, about how something as simple as mouth taping can make a big difference in sleep quality, health, and overall well-being.

Natalia and Lauren share their personal paths into the world of breathwork and holistic wellness, explaining how nasal breathing supports better rest, reduces snoring, and may even play a role in managing sleep apnea.

• What inspired them to make this their business
• Their experiences as entrepreneurs bringing an innovative wellness tool to market
