Hear from Our Graduates

Marina is seriously the best in the business! I truly believe if it wasn’t for Marina my son’s tongue and lip tie would have gone on being unnoticed by doctors and I would still be struggling with a toddler who couldn’t eat. Before seeing Marina, I brought my son to multiple feeding therapists, doctors, ENT drs, etc and no one could tell me why my son kept spitting out his food. I was so beyond frustrated. A friend of mine highly recommended Marina, and within minutes of meeting her she noticed the ties and guided me in the process of how to get them released and even showed me stretches to do post surgery. We continued to work with her after my son had his surgery and she successfully retaught him how to eat and swallow. It was a long process but so beyond thankful for her knowledge and patience. I honestly can’t recommend Marina enough!

My child had delayed eating development, including problems chewing, with an underbite, and suspicion for posterior tongue tie. On advice from a doctor we contacted Marina Bakharovskaya of Therapy Matters NY, and started sessions. Marina made a great connection with our child. She worked with our LO, taught us how to best practice chewing, gave us excellent advice and directions, including the tools for practice, the techniques, and food progression to use for our issues. A few months on, our kid is doing great, is an efficient eater, and is able to eat a wide variety of foods. We are very happy to have worked with Marina. Her work made a huge difference.
