About Us

Our vision: To create a dynamic exchange of knowledge and perspectives on the topic of tongue ties.

The title "Tongue Time" is creative and inviting, conveying a playful and relaxed atmosphere to address the topic of the tongue in an engaging way. The focus is on exchanging ideas and information about medical and therapeutic approaches, tools, and further training opportunities. At the same time, it fosters a sense of community and interactivity. The memorable title sparks curiosity and encourages participants to explore the congress topics further.

Dr. Ralf Dornieden and Meike Dornieden, owners of Osteopathie Ostschweiz GmbH, have been deeply involved in the study of tongue tie restrictions and their effects on the human body across all ages. In their daily work as osteopaths, complemented by additional IBCLC certification, they encounter various symptoms related to this topic.

The more they pursue further education and engage with other professional groups about the subject, the more evident it becomes how little is commonly known about the issue and how controversial the topic can be.

They aim to contribute to discussions, critically examine the topic, and raise awareness. Tongue Time 2026 establishes a platform for exchange: a step into the future for a better understanding of oral restrictions and their interconnections.
