I wanted to send you an email for an excellent resource for first time moms and seasoned moms. I think more of us need this kind of resource and guidance and I was incredibly lucky to have found her. I’d love for you to pass this on in hopes that she can help moms and babies. I don’t usually make this kind of post but today I’m going to tell you a story. My son was born 5 weeks early with torticollis and a lip and tongue tie. We had no idea about it when he was born and how much it affected him. He had a very hard time breastfeeding and was not motivated to move. At 3 months we were told he needed physical therapy and that his lip and tongue tie needed to be corrected. We were fortunate enough to meet Kristi and she moved mountains for my kid. She taught us how to motivate him and what to do. She told us about his plagiocephaly in time to have a helmet on for the shortest possible time. She got him to crawl and stand and turn and walk and stretch and all with a smile. She makes it fun for him, and he loves her. Every time he didn’t want to do something she found another way. We couldn’t be more thankful to have her in our lives and if you have any kind of question or concern, this is the only person I would recommend for your baby. @yearonewellness Whether you're a first time mom and have no idea what you're doing or if you do and just want some guidance. Lip ties, tongue ties, torticollis, plagiocephaly, breastfeeding success and development are all linked together. If you have any questions please reach out.
