The Freely Rooted Podcast17. The Big Picture of Tongue Ties | Michale ChathamDuring her 25 year career in dentistry, Michale Chatham helped build & create one of the first integrative centers for tongue tie releases.

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 t...2022-02-251h 25Rewilded WellnessHyper-focused on lab results?
