No one was coming to her aide to HELP HER OWN CHILDREN. Beyond tonsilloadenoidectomy and CPAP there seemed to be no options. She knew there HAD to be something else!!! She wanted answers! She was a mother on a mission, and nothing was going to stop her!
She couldn’t ignore sleep and breathing problems in her own children, so how could she continue to ignore them in her patients?
As such, her DSM practice transitioned from treatment of adults to include children as well.
Stacy then took the following courses on her journey looking for answers for her own children and the parents who would put their trust in her helping their children.
- Biobloc Coursework
- TAD Expansion Coursework
Phase 1 Expansion Coursework (Gerber Interceptive Pediatric Orthodontics) - ALF Coursework (Under Dr. Darick Norstrom, Inventor of the ALF therapy)
- Buteyko Breathing
- Myobrace/Healthy Start/Myomunchee and other functional appliance Coursework
- Training with Dr. Stasha Gominak (Harvard-trained Neurologist) on the role of Vitamin D and Sleep.
- Studying the Endocannabinoid System (the role of EBs and Phyto EBs on sleep health)
And… she is Not done…because she knows there is more.
Today, she is one of the key pediatric airway speakers at the annual North American Dental Sleep Medicine Symposium. She continues to lecture across the country at local clubs and organizations raising awareness of this treatable and preventable epidemic. She also mentors others on this journey and helps guide dentists on their paths to bring this much-needed intervention into their dental practices. She juggles the roles of Mom, Dentist, Business Owner, and Pediatric Airway Warrior, sometimes dropping a ball as we all do, but picking it right back up and juggling away… because it’s important.
Knowing that she could only help so many dentists by herself, and with her limited time and energy, she teamed up with Michelle and Tracey.
