17. The Big Picture of Tongue Ties | Michale Chatham


Listen Later

During her 25 year career in dentistry, Michale Chatham helped build & create one of the first integrative centers for tongue tie releases. Thousands of cases deep, her health collapsed after her own tongue tie release. Her RN, IBCLC, massage therapy, and myofunctional background allowed her to zoom out and see the full picture of fascia & body expression. What she learned is that tongue ties need individual, holistic, big picture care. They are not a one-size-fits-all standard.  Most practitioners look right to the mouth when they suspect an oral tie, but Michale takes a much different approach: one that allows us to differentiate between a real tie, or simply a tight frenum. 

Join us as we sit down & discuss the following:

  • Michale's background & experience 
  • Michale's health collapse after her tongue tie release
  • Tongue tie revisions: do they "work"?
  • The holistic approach to oral ties
  • Why "fix" and work" are empty words
  • Why revisions are controlled trauma
  • The importance of knowing your outcome goals
  • Finding a provider that supports you
  • Are tongue tie revisions necessary?
  • Are tongue ties more common now, or are we just now focusing on them?
  • Practical tips for your baby from home
  • It starts with you
  • Big announcement!
  • *Not medical advice. This podcast & episode are for inspirational + educational purposes only*
