Baby & Infant tongue-tie and lip-tie care

Announcing a new service!


I’m excited to announce that I’ve embarked on a new area of practice! After practicing as a pediatric Speech & Language Pathologist for 39 years, I have decided to expand my expertise into the realm of tongue and lip ties.

From lactation difficulties to oral-motor skills to facial tension, managing tongue and lip ties can have major positive effects on your child.

As a parent with grown kids who had tongue ties -- and now a great aunt to a new infant in our family -- I am confident and ready to answer all your questions regarding tongue and lip ties in infants and children.

I look forward to guiding your family through beneficial pre- and necessary post-release exercises related to tongue mobility, strength, and posture.

Karen Halpern is Thumbprint Adventures

In every session with me, clients are motivated to learn and practice their goals by playing with a wide variety of games, toys and topics that match their interests.

At Thumbprint Adventures, we believe that each child is unique, coming with their own special set of qualities,  strengths,  preferences and needs.

My motto: everyone learns best when they are motivated,  engaged and having fun!
