Tongue-Tie and Palate Evaluation Procedures
Tongue-tie, or ankyloglossia, can significantly impact an individual’s ability to speak, eat/nurse, swallow, breathe properly as well as impair proper cranial bone growth patterns. Understanding the assessment and management of tongue-tie is essential for healthcare professionals working with patients who may be affected by this condition.
In addition to tongue-tie, the evaluation of the palate plays a vital role in evaluating and treating various speech, breathing, eating, and swallowing disorders. The palate consists of the hard and soft tissues at the roof of the mouth. This course will delve into the techniques and procedures used to assess the structure and function of the palate, enabling you to better evaluate and address issues related to its functioning.
Throughout this course, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the tongue and palate, the various types and classifications of tongue-tie, and the impact these conditions can have on function and development. You will also explore specific evaluation techniques that will aid in diagnosing and evaluating and managing tongue-tie and palate-related concerns.

“The classes and lives are very complete and super educational; learning from this couple is pleasurable and addictive.
Tongue-tie is increasingly ‘common’ to be evaluated in hospitals in Brazil; unfortunately, many babies have their tongues cut, because doctors and healthcare professionals are unaware of how the skull can influence this. It’s so good to be able to educate my pregnant patients that this problem shouldn’t be solved like this, before I can evaluate and try to help and I’m so happy to see them bringing their babies and trusting in my work, without you, I would never have known about this much less would I have the confidence to call this responsibility upon myself. You transform the lives of my patients through your teachings, so THANK YOU so much for everything!
One of the cases that marked me the most was a 2-month-old baby who lives in another state, and who had her tongue stuck, but even after the operation, she continued to hurt her breast when breastfeeding, a very tight latch and the nipple clicking. Tongue, after I adjusted it, using what I learned in classes, she breastfed softly and without any clicking, the mother cried, hugged me, apologized to her baby saying ‘forgive me for putting you through that, I knew that Auntie Lili was his solution.’
I can say that I’m this couple’s number one fan. Learning from them is fascinating and I recommend all the courses to anyone who wants practice focused on real health. Using what they teach transforms lives!”

“The material is broken down in digestible pieces, the videos are short and can be watched multiple times, material is applicable in practice.
My son had tongue tie and the program has allowed me to work on him and many other babies.
I recently worked on a newborn with severe plagiocephaly and tongue tie utilizing these techniques with great success
Love the classes; hope to see them in a hands-on class soon.”

“My takeaways from taking this program are: Cranial work is very specific, having a model on hand while watching was a great help. It takes very little pressure to make corrections on the cranium. Knowing how the sphenobasilar junction can silicate and feeling the distortions on the greater wing of the sphenoid was key for me.
I now know a little more. I wish I could watch this 15 times on now how to continue to palpate my patients and look for submitted cranial bones.
I have a little one who was having issues nursing; he did have issues with only one breast and was fine in the other. It ended up he had a sphenobasilar torsion subluxation that I identified and corrected. Now nursing perfectly on both sides. Mom is thrilled.”
