Meet Dr. Resa Gardner
“My passion for better breathing and facial development started when I became a mother. I had difficulty nursing with my first child; it was painful, he would not stay latched and he was very fussy. For the first four months, my son struggled with reflux and colic and cluster feeding because he could not stay awake long enough to finish nursing. I was exhausted and so was my baby. It was not until he was 7 months old that I was attending a Continuing Education course at the Breathe Institute that I realized my son was tongue tied. My thirst to know more could not be quenched from there and I have continued to dive head first into the literature and education surrounding tethered oral tissues and how it pertains to facial development and breathing. Learning from some of the prominent figures in tethered oral tissues and airway I have learned from Dr. Zaghi (MD), Dr. Baxter (DMD), Dr. Geheri (MD), Dr. Pinto (DDS), Dr. Bockow (DDS, MS), Dr. Gunson (DDS). It is my goal to help my patients grow healthy faces and breathe better .”
