From Hygienist to Entrepreneur- The Myofunctional Therapy Movement: Episode 123

In this episode of the Tongue Tie Experts Podcast, I’m joined by Sarah Hornsby, dental hygienist, educator, entrepreneur, and one of the early pioneers in bringing myofunctional therapy into modern interdisciplinary care.Sarah shares how her clinical curiosity led her from traditional dental hygiene into the world of oral function, airway health, and ultimately the creation of an online training program that has educated more than 2,000 providers worldwide.We talk about what happens when professionals step outside their silos, why function must be part of the conversation when we discuss tongue tie, and how collaboration between lactation, dentistry, therapy, and airway-focused providers changes outcomes for families.We also discuss the realities of building something new - the uncertainty, the persistence, and the deep belief that better care is possible when we learn together.This is a conversation about growth - clinically, professionally, and as a community.What We DiscussHow Sarah’s career evolved from dental hygiene into myofunctional therapyWhy oral function and airway development must be part of tongue-tie conversationsThe importance of true interdisciplinary collaborationHow online education expanded access to this work globallyThe challenges (and rewards) of building a new clinical pathwayCreating professional community instead of practicing in isolationWhere myofunctional therapy is headed as awareness growsMore about Sarah Hornsby:MyoMentor 12-Week Course enrollment.https://www.sarahkhornsby.com/ LISAP10 for a 10% discountMore From Tongue Tie Experts:To learn more, download freebies, and for the links mentioned in the episode, including our popular course, Understanding Milk Supply for Medical and Birth Professionals, click here: www.tonguetieexperts.net/LinksUse code PODCAST15 for 15% off all of our offerings.This podcast is meant for education and conversation only.
