The Clinical Reality Every Healthcare Professional Faces
Why you're tired of guessing when it comes to tongue tie assessment
You care deeply about breastfeeding families... But you're stuck making clinical decisions with incomplete information.
Let's be real:
Most training programs barely scratch the surface of tongue tie assessment. You examine a fussy infant... suspect oral restrictions... but then what?
You're forced to piece together fragments:
→ 2-hour conference sessions that leave more questions than answers
→ Social media posts with conflicting assessment criteria
→ Colleagues who "know" but can't teach their process
→ Research without practical application protocols
The result?
You're guessing about severity levels...
Uncertain when to refer vs. manage conservatively...
And parents are asking questions you can't confidently answer.
Meanwhile, specialists with comprehensive training are:
Getting targeted referrals from physicians
Charging premium rates for their expertise
Building reputations as trusted authorities
That ends now.
Whether you're a lactation consultant, therapist, chiropractor, medical, dental or birth professional...
This training gives you the step-by-step protocols and clinical confidence you've been missing.
What Clinical Confidence Actually Looks Like
The transformation from "guessing professional" to "trusted expert"
Imagine walking into your next assessment knowing exactly what you're looking for.
The mother describes feeding difficulties, and instead of uncertainty.
You have functional assessment protocols to guide every decision.
Here's what changes:
ASSESSMENT CONFIDENCE
Complete evaluation protocols (not just "it looks tight")
Evidence-based decision tools for intervention timing
Maternal assessment skills that complete the picture
Ready answers for every parent question and concern
TREATMENT CLARITY
Professional referral network you can trust
Clear understanding of your role on the multidisciplinary team
Scope of practice confidence that protects you legally
Holistic care options beyond "quick procedures"
PATIENT EDUCATION MASTERY
Done-for-you materials that educate families professionally
Aftercare protocols with video demonstrations
Complication prevention protocols that ensure safe outcomes
The result?
Parents leave feeling informed, not confused.
Colleagues seek your expertise, not question your judgment.
Physicians specifically request your assessments.
You become the professional families have been searching for.
The Training Gap No One Talks About
Why your professional education left you unprepared for tongue tie complexity
Let's be honest... You didn't learn this in school, did you?
Most healthcare programs barely touch tongue tie assessment, and the little they do cover makes it sound simple.
"Just look for restriction and refer if needed."
But real-world tongue tie treatment is complex. Families expecting quick relief from "a simple snip" are often disappointed, because successful outcomes require thorough preparation, proper procedure selection, and comprehensive aftercare.
That's exactly what this training provides:
→ Organized protocols for the entire treatment journey
→ Clear understanding of multidisciplinary teamwork
→ Evidence-based decision tools that eliminate guesswork
The result?
You become the professional who truly understands what families need...
Not just someone who refers when things "look tight."

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I start today?
Yes, the modules are ready for you and you'll have access as soon as you sign up. You'll get an email with the links to the modules and the private community.
Why do you teach about breastfeeding and tongue tie to non-lactation consultants?
Yes!! Our programs are open to all lactation, birth, medical, and dental professionals. We include body work, speech therapists etc...Anyone who is taking care of pregnant or breastfeeding families, or infants in any capacity is welcome! Why? Because most families give up on their feeding goals before they see a lactation consultant. Families need every one of us.
How long will I have access to the course modules?
You will have lifetime access to the modules, but to receive your certificate with LCerps, modules must be completed within 1 year. The way accreditation works, we cannot guarantee access to credit beyond one year.
Will I get education credit?
YES! 6 L-Cerps are available through IBLCE. Certificate will be awarded upon completion.
Badge to display on your website or social media is also included for all graduates.
We have heard that other accrediting organizations are cross-honoring the credit, but there are no guarantees.
What if it's not in my scope of practice to examine inside the mouth?
In this course Lisa shares her step by step evaluation method, relying on signs and symptoms, to evaluate within your scope of practice.
Can I learn at my own pace?
Yes! You can work through at your own pace. The modules are recorded and you can rewatch as many times as you need.
Isn't tongue tie overdiagnosed? Is this a fad?
This is myth that we will discuss in the course, and the most important reason for you to be able to advise a holistic approach to treatment. Too many infants are being sent for procedures without considering if it is warranted, and without being prepared. By learning how to guide this care, you will save infants from unnecessary intervention and assure more successful outcomes when the procedure is necessary.
