Summer's Journey

Finally! After 2 years 8 months, I made my first overseas consultation trip last week. It was to Jakarta, Indonesia.  The four kids whom I have been working with are no longer kids! Within the last two years, they have grown from tweens to teens (and one of them entered adulthood)! They are now all taller than me, have facial hairs and deeeeeep manly voices.  It was a joy to see them again. And I was super delighted to see them with fresh eyes. My fresh eyes are eyes of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT).  Summer's specialises in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy! Two of us have each undergone 30 hours of specialised training in OMT. Being a specialist in OMT, all of the sudden, I noticed many more recessed jaws, over used chin muscles, flanged lips, posterior tongue ties, low tongue placements, dried cracked lips, dark eye circles and many more. The 'perfect' tongue lateralisations and elevations were no longer perfect. The 'perfect' blowing were no longer perfect
