Melanie Henstrom: “Missed Tongue Ties and the Subsequent Consequences” As a little girl, Melanie had the opportunity to watch her OBGYN dad deliver babies and it was such an incredible process to be a part of, she knew she wanted to help babies when she grew up. She received her bachelor’s degree in Family Science from Brigham Young University and worked in adoption until she had her first of six children, which included twins, all of which she was able to exclusively breastfeed. She struggled with postpartum depression which has helped her to be all the more compassionate towards the mothers she works with. Once all 6 children were in school, she became a certified postpartum doula and focused on guiding families mainly with multiples. Given her personal experience, she felt called to serve breastfeeding mothers, so she went back to school to become an IBCLC. She has a passion for helping breastfeeding dyads and also loves educating others about the importance of treating ties. She feels very blessed to have trained with some of the top in the tongue tie field and hopes to continue to spread the word to help increase breastfeeding success. Melanie is also trained in Cranisoacral Therapy and Cranisoacral Fascial Therapy. She has spoken internationally at the OBI Conference in Las Vegas in 2021 and at the Gold Lactation Tongue Tie Conference in 2022. This is her third conference she has hosted in the Treasure Valley. She loves pillates, yoga and walking with her husband but most of all she loves spending time with her cute grand babies. Objectives: 1. The impact of breastfeeding on lifelong health 2.
