I became a dentist because I believed the mouth mattered. Not just for the teeth — but for breathing, sleeping, feeding, and moving through the world with ease.
So I trained and became one of the go-to frenectomy providers in my community, and I was good at it.
But something kept bothering me…
Patient after patient came back still struggling — not because the release was wrong, but because dentistry alone was never going to be enough. The mouth doesn't exist in isolation. Neither does the tongue tie.
The industry was treating half the problem. And families were paying the price.
Now I'm on a mission to build tongue tie teams all over this country — dentists and movement providers who actually speak the same language and get outcomes that last.
That looks like educating dentists who want to understand the full picture. It looks like training movement providers — PTs, OTs, chiropractors, and bodyworkers — to recognize oral restrictions in the patients already on their tables. It looks like a community of providers who stop working in silos and start getting outcomes that actually stick.
Because the best frenectomy in the world underdelivers when the rest of the care team is working in the dark.
I'm also a mom who has watched this system fail families firsthand, a movement-loving human who believes the body is always trying to tell us something, and a dentist who got tired of waiting for the industry to catch up.
I stopped waiting. I started teaching.
If you're a provider who suspects there's more to the story — you're in exactly the right place.

MY PRACTICE WENT FROM SURVIVING to THRIVING IN THREE MONTHS.
Liz showed me how tongue ties connect to everything I already treat — TMJ pain, forward head posture, sleep issues. Now I screen every patient, coordinate with her network of providers, and my referrals have tripled.

I FINALLY BECAME THE PROVIDER families ACTIVELY SEARCH FOR.
After Dr. Liz's course, new moms started finding me through birth worker referrals instead of random Google searches. I'm booked three weeks out, and half my new patients specifically ask if I work with tongue ties.
— Melissa Tran, pt, dpt
I STOPPED LOSING PATIENTS to PROVIDERS WHO 'GOT IT.'
Before taking Liz's tongue-tie course, parents would mention tongue ties and I'd freeze — I didn't know what to say or who to send them to. Now I'm the OT who recognizes it first, coordinates the team, and keeps families through the entire process.

If you're into airway + sleep health insights that actually change patient outcomes, evidence-based tongue-tie education, and the occasional Colorado sunset or 5 AM pilates check-in — you've come to the right place.
