“Recently my 13-year-old son had the pleasure of working with Sabrina at Healing Habits KC. She is so kind and professional and did a wonderful job coaching him! He was diagnosed as needing to correct a tongue tie, Myofunctional therapy and corrective orthodontic treatment.
Within weeks we saw several improvements in the area of posture, less mouth breathing and better quality of sleep. The goals for therapy were clearly discussed and laid out in a way that we all understood.
Sabrina was very encouraging and engaging. She makes therapy fun, while correcting unhelpful habits. Any time that we had a question or concern about technique...she was always quick to respond with an answer!
On a scale of one to ten, we would rank Sabrina a 10! All of the intended outcomes that were clearly explained at the start of therapy were successfully completed. In conjunction with orthodontic treatment, my son's airway has literally doubled in size. I noticed rapid improvement in the areas of posture, mouth breathing, sleeping and behavior and academics at school. I even had a teacher reach out to ask what I was doing at home, because he had so much more focus and discipline.
Sabrina is a highly skilled therapist, and I would highly recommend her.” - Pam
“Overall, I feel this service was wonderful. Through working with Sabrina, I was able to realize that my tongue was very tight but that I'd somehow managed some functionality in spite of it. I feel the preparation and post operative care was especially valuable. The stretches and exercises prepared me for the fatigue of surgery and the stretching afterwards was very useful in the healing process. Additionally, I gained a good amount of strength and tone in my tongue. I did not have any mouth breathing concerns but in working with Sabrina I was able to realize that I often hold my breath and have since had so much more fluidity in breathing throughout the day. I definitely recommend working with Sabrina and will be enrolling my daughter once she is mature enough to do her exercises and do a tongue release!” - MP
“My son particularly noticed an improvement in tongue positioning while the mouth is at rest. It no longer rests on the front teeth but sits comfortably on the roof. In addition, after the release and subsequent training/exercises he has noticed improvement in clarity when speaking. In a more concrete way, he is now able to roll his Rs when speaking Spanish or Italian words. The ultimate goal of having a successful tongue-tie release was absolutely reached, it was relatively straightforward without excessive pain and the recovery had no issues. In addition, the full healing and function since it was completed has been perfect.
Sabrina was very professional, and we are very grateful for her knowledge and organization. It made everything very easy to understand and approach and she was very timely and helpful with any issues, although there were very few.
We would rate it a 10. The most influential factor was the smoothness of the program, it was straightforward and well laid out without any surprises or hiccups. In addition, we are very pleased with the success we had in general.”
