What is HAPPEE BABY© ?
HAPPEE BABY© is an acronym and methodology to help guide the Evaluation and Treatment of a Baby with Tethered Oral Tissues (TOTs), also know as lip, tongue, and buccal ties. This technique has been created by Dr. Hines to assist Doctors, Therapists, Practitioners, and Parents with caring for babies with TOTs. Both Dr. Danielle and Melissa have been trained in these techniques to create optimal outcomes in all the babies that we treat. We utilize a team approach, working alongside of knowledgeable practitioners, to achieve the desired results of improved structure and function.
A Guidebook is being written and trainings are being scheduled. Check back for more information!

What Parents Are Saying:
"My baby had her lip and tongue tie revised at 5 days old. There were some improvements in symptoms but we were still struggling. I contacted Dr. Jackie and she was able to get us in right away. After a thorough evaluation she started working on my daughter. Her technique was so gentle that the baby fell asleep while she worked. By the time we got home baby was ready to feed, I noticed an immediate improvement with her latch and milk transfer. For the first time since her birth my daughter was relaxed, moving her head side to side and not struggling to latch. Dr. Jackie showed me some exercises to continue the work at home between visits." -A.F.
"I took my 2 month old, Mia, to Dr. Jackie before and after she had her lip and tongue ties corrected. Not only does Dr. Jackie have such a way with kids, she has healing hands! Before seeing Dr. Jackie, Mia would seem uncomfortable and nurse fitfully - she would stop and start over and over - and she seemed very “tight” in her neck/upper body. I saw such an improvement in all of Mia’s symptoms immediately following each visit and am happy to say that her issues have completely resolved. I can’t recommend Dr. Jackie enough!!" -L.G.
"My son was born with a heavy Upper Lip Tie and a Posterior Tongue Tie that caused us to struggle with nursing. We had laser revision at two weeks old and did some body work afterwards. Looking back, we really needed more bodywork. Nursing has gone exceptionally well, but fast forward to 18 months and he has had a lot of trouble with solids, had some balance issues and visual asymmetry, and I’m seeing decay in his front teeth, which I attribute to tightness around his mouth and through his body to his left side. Finally, we went back to Dr. Hines after struggling and failing to find conventional ways to help our son we have seen immediate improvement. The day after his CST session he was eating better, moving better and sleeping better. After the second session, he has not stopped eating and has not choked on food once. I could cry writing this. Finally seeing my child enjoy food and not struggle and scream in frustration is beyond amazing for us. We are hoping he won’t need additional therapies and progress will continue. I’m still shocked and so grateful that two sessions of CST have made such a dramatic change in my sweet baby. I just feel horrible that we didn’t go back sooner." -R.P.
