Fall is my favorite reminder that breathing is about more than relaxing. I’m thinking about how our bodies work.
Every breath you take through your nose gets filtered, warmed, and humidified before it reaches your lungs. Your sinuses produce nitric oxide, and breathing through your nose carries it into your lungs. Healthy airflow and oxygen exchange helps defend against germs. Mouth breathing isn’t the same as nasal breathing. We are also talking about supportive tongue posture, jaw development, sleep, and your voice when we talk about a closed mouth breath.

When we breathe through our mouths out of habit, especially at night, it can lead to challenges like snoring, poor sleep, a tired voice and coughing, jaw tension, dental changes, or a nervous system that does not quite settle.

The the work we do at Evolved Therapy: myofunctional therapy, airway support, breathing retraining, and voice can support you. It’s science based and personalized, and it changes how people sleep, speak, and feel.

Now this fall while the leaves are letting go, notice your breath. Is your mouth closed? Is your tongue resting on the roof of your mouth? Are you breathing low and slow through your nose?

If that feels like hard work we can help you.

Some looks exactly like what you’d expect in your myofunctional therapy space. Some of it makes people say “wait, what?”
That’s the point.
Breathing, movement, tension and mechanics, oral function——it’s all connected.
We follow the thread through the parts that don’t fit neatly into a protocol or checklist.

This is what it looks like. .

For a while, I was doing it all, building Evolved in Boston and still holding onto my role as a telehealth therapist at Davis Medical back in WV. My work there had been slowing down on its own & with uncertainty about Medicare, insurnace coverages, and red tape that was seemingly endless I decided to stop.

This year I made it official. I left the hospital system and brought everything I do into Evolved.

I still do telehealth. I believe in it! The ability to reach people where they are matters. But I do it through Evolved now, and I remembered why I began my own practice in the first place. The systems are not set up with our clients at the forefront and healing the top priority. Evolved decided to be different than the system. The work has only gotten better, deeper understandings, connections and impact. The difference is everything.

This year I completed Rosalba Courtney’s Integrative Breathing Training. I committed to TA all three levels for Michele Fava’s manual therapy for voice and swallowing. I collaborated with a California chef on feeding toddlers, one sign up became a beautiful in depth one-on-one, and now we’re making it into an evergreen course.
I also walked away from a certification I’d been working toward. Why? Because my energy belonged somewhere else. Learning is critical—- it’s constant—-and bringing what I continually learn to those who need it in a practical and applicable way is equally as important to me.

I went back to my original vision again and remembered this is the season I’m building—-clinical, educational, community. It all comes together.

Year three was the year I stopped dividing myself. And maybe year four is when I will learn to spell (typo in the last picture) 🤪🤣🤷🏼‍♀️😘

Michele Whittaker has been supporting Erin’s work for years, long before Evolved Therapy existed. When it came time to build a team, bringing her in wasn’t a question.

Michele works remotely from wild and wonderful WV. She handles the things that hold everything together. She manages scheduling, registration, billing, bookkeeping, all of the pieces that support a smooth process.

Michele brings years of experience running the administrative side of a business, and she brings something harder to find…a real understanding of how Erin works which helps her wild ideas come to light.

Our clients may never meet her, but they feel her every time an appointment reminder dings on their phone, an invoice makes sense, a superbill hits their portal, or something works out with no questions.

We’re grateful she’s here. 💫💖💕☀️

Pictured are her sweet grandbabies & husband—big thanks to her daughter for sending them over ♥️

You know her as a clinician. We want you to know what she’s building outside of her clinical work.
Alissa spent her career watching families struggle with something that should have a solution. She saw the challenge of a baby who couldn’t latch, and no objective way to know why.
83% of mothers start breastfeeding. Most stop within 2–3 months. The #1 reason isn’t lack of desire — it’s a failed latch. And until now, latch failure has been invisible. Just a mother in pain and a provider doing their best to help.
Alissa is changing the way this goes down.
She’s the CEO and Co-Founder of Solica Connect, and she’s developed LatchSense™. It’s the first objective, real-time measurement of infant latch biomechanics. A wearable sensor worn during feeding that captures what’s actually happening in the oral space and outputs a score.

This is what happens when a clinician who has sat with enough families decides enough is enough.
We are so proud to watch her dream unfold and have her talent on our team too.

You don’t have to be a professional writer. It’s not that retreat.

You don’t have to be a professional breather. It’s not that retreat.

You don’t need published books, hours of pranayama or meditation practice, a CV that proves you are a creative.

You need an open mind, a willingness to come together & meet some cool folks for a day. You need a desire to go deep into your process with support from us & find out where your truest voice wants to come out.

Join us ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Do you have a little one starting solids or you’re into solids & it is feeling stressful?

Are you overwhelmed by the huge differences in approaches you see all@over your screens. Babies with a leg of chicken & your kiddo isn’t feeling it. Or pouches galore and that doesn’t feel right either. Maybe you’re tired of a 3/4 plate of cheezits and the rest freeze dried fruit.

We want to help you understand some of the skills required to eat—-swallowing is quite complicated!! Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it’s not. We want to help you have some simple recipes that help you feel good about both building skills and providing nutrition in a way that isn’t super stressful.

The course will be live and we are allowing plenty of time for meaningful conversations an questions.

Join us! Share with a parent you may know. Let’s fill the space & feed more littles in a way that makes sense.
