A friend referred us to Brittany for her expertise after my son's lip and tie laser frenectomies. He was zapped at week 5 and presented to Brittany at week 7. At that time, I was triple feeding and when breastfeeding wholly depended on nipple shields due to excruciating pain at the latch, even post procedure. My goal was to exclusively breastfeed without the shield, which I frankly thought was impossible. Brittany was a joy to work with. She gave us the confidence to be active participants in our son's therapy. We diligently implemented her treatment plan and we were off the shield within two weeks of our first visit. We still needed a little more help for my little chomper thereafter, but my son is now 3.5 months old and nurses like a champ! I heartily recommend her practice to any mamas seeking such help. Cheers! read more

I took my daughters to Brittany for CFT and they enjoyed every moment of it. From start to finish Brittany was so warm and welcoming. She explained the process and was welcoming questions from me. I felt like I knew her for ages, just from how friendly she was and how comfortable she made us feel! read more

We first went to Brittany when our baby was 3-4 months old due to feeding issues and oral ties. She walked us through the process of release and post release care. She has been with us and our baby every step of the way including bodywork and tensions/side preferences. She is so patient and knowledgeable with all the tools to help our baby through milestones and progressions. Our boy also has a blast playing with all her toys and rolling around in her office. read more

We were referred to Brittany by our dentist due to oral ties, as well as some eating and sleeping issues we were going through. She was so knowledgable and explained everything in detail while actively working with my toddler throughout each of our sessions. We've seen a TON of improvement with both eating and sleeping due to the advice she gave me. We're so grateful for her help. Highly recommend! read more

We were referred to Brittany by our pediatric dentist for a tongue and lip tie assessment, and she became an integral part of both our son's preparation for the procedure and his recovery process. Our son had a significant lip and tongue tie that affected his feeding, which led us to see multiple specialists. We began working with Brittany when he was around three months old, and she consistently spent the most time with him. He was at ease with her from the very beginning, which wasn't the case with others. Brittany is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and thorough. She prepared us very well for the tongue and lip tie release, explaining the procedure in greater detail than even the provider performing it. Throughout the healing process, she was our go-to resource for questions and concerns, always responding thoughtfully and promptly. Her approach is conservative, evidence-based, and honest. After the procedure, she even went above and beyond by consulting with other dentists to gather additional opinions for our son's care. She's easily reachable by text and scheduling with her is simple and convenient. I would highly recommend Brittany to any parent whose child is experiencing feeding challenges or if you simply have questions about healthy development. She is truly amazing and we're so grateful for her support and expertise. read more

Brittany is very thoughtful, helpful and informative. Definitely have seen a difference in my baby's body tension from our visits. The office has a super welcoming and fun vibe. read more

We were looking for someone who could identify and assess oral ties for infants. The most important thing when it comes to ties is function. If a baby has a tongue or lip tie, but it can function pretty much normally without that much restriction then surgery isn't always required. Anyway, so we went to Brittany, and it just helped so much with clarity as to what we needed to do. She's also a wealth of knowledge when it comes to a lot of topics in general when it comes to development, feeding, etc. Even though we didn't come strictly for anything other than the tie assessment, We ended up having a lot of extra time to assess a lot of other development related things, which was helpful and gave us a lot of peace as parents (which is priceless for new parents). Anyways, with Brittany's help, we were able to make a decision when it comes to seeing a pediatric dentist and eventually getting the lip tie and tongue tie release for our baby. When it comes to Brittany herself, she is very kind, informative and good with kids. You don't have to worry about dealing with any kind of jerk. You'll be in good hands with her. She's also a mother herself so, she'll be able to relate to you and share genuine experiences, vs someone who doesn't have kids. So in conclusion if you're looking for an OT for whatever reason for your little one, consider choosing Wayz to Play w/ Brittany. read more

Brittany is the best! I'm a pediatric OT and new mom but babies are not my specialty. Needless to say I did my research when it came to looking for OTs for my baby to find the best of the best: I brought my baby to Brittany for recommendations regarding her tongue/lip/buccal ties and any body work I could do to help her. Brittany was responsive, kind, helpful, and so smart. She explains things so naturally, answers questions with ease, and provides great individualized advice. The body work she recommended really helped release tension for my baby and improve her feeding! She went from being exclusively bottle fed to now being exclusively breastfed and I attribute a lot of her improvement to Brittany's knowledge, advice, and exercises. I would definitely recommend Brittany to any mom looking for a holistic but logical approach to improving infant feeding and overall development. read more

Brittany is such a kind and sweet soul, I absolutely loved working with her. My son loved all the toys she had in and out of her office, he was just having the jolliest of times. She gave so much attention and great advice on how to help prepare him for his frenum removal, I just appreciated working with a provider who really felt like she was on my team to help us get the most successful outcomes. Absolutely loved working with her and I hope our paths cross again someday! read more

Cannot recommend Wayz to Play enough for OT - esp with a tongue tie baby! I found out about Wayz to Play from my IBCLC. Our baby had tongue tie - a pretty tight one and after dealing with this with our first child, I knew we needed a plan in place to set her up for success, which included some type of bodywork to help get her tongue functioning correctly. It was easy to schedule an appt with Brittany, in fact I called her first and she was super helpful explaining her services and how she would support pre and post op. Prior to the first appt we filled out some paperwork. Billing is done digitally which makes it super easy. At the first appointment Brittany did a full evaluation, showed me what exercises we should start doing now not just for the tongue but also to help strengthen and open up the upper body. She also observed me breastfeeding and gave so many helpful tips to lookout for to ensure baby is latched correctly. I left the appt with a treatment plan and follow up appointment post op. After the revision we saw Brittany again and she observed how I stretched the tongue and provided tips. She then showed me a few additional exercises to do to support the mouth/tongue functionality and observed another feed. My baby was pretty fussy so she showed me some ways to do the exercises so that baby would be more at ease. Overall the services are unmatched. While they don't take insurance I feel the progress we made in 2appts was more than what I would get for months with an in network provider. Our journey with this baby was been a complete 180 and I have so much more confidence with daily exercises to help baby's development. Wayz to Play can provide a superbill to submit for out of network reimbursement (if your plan does that) and you can use your HSA/FSA funds. I'm so glad we found her and now have her as a resource on our baby journey! read more

My newborn had a tongue tie release through a specialist and then Brittany was able to guide me through the aftercare. Her instructions and exercises were far more detailed and I felt more confident in making sure the incision healed properly. Brittany also helped me navigate my breastfeeding journey. As a brand new mom, I felt so overwhelmed and discouraged that I couldn't figure it out. With her guidance and patience, I was able to latch my baby on the same day I saw her!!! Later that day, I tried again and was able to do it all by myself with her tips. I'm so thankful that I had her by my side and I'm in tears thinking back on that day. She is truly amazing and cares so deeply about her work. read more

When we found out our second baby had a lip and tongue tie I knew right away we needed to connect with Brittany again. As always she was so responsive and supportive. She was getting ready to go on vacation and did not hesitate to provide recommendations to help with wound care until we could book an appointment. This is just the type of excellent care one can expect when working with Brittany. Even with this being our second time around we learned so much and knew our baby boy was in great hands! Brittany truly is a gem and any patient/family will be provided the most dedicated and specialized care when working with Wayz To Play! We cannot recommend Brittany enough! 10/10! read more

Wayz To Play - Brittany and our son during his last in home session! He was all smiles! - Parenting Classes Near Me - North Tustin, California

I sought out OT when my 10 month old wasn't crawling and not only did she crawl (quickly) but I learned SO much more from Brittany than I ever could have anticipated. My child has airway issues and an undiagnosed lip/tongue tie that Brittany immediately recognized and it answered so many questions for me and affirmed so many gut feelings I had. Although we chose not to proceed with a release procedure, Brittany was able to connect us with a pediatric airway dentist and myofunctional therapy modalities to help stay on top of and possibly prevent some of the myriad conditions that can result from a child not breathing well. I'm just blown away and can't say enough good things about Brittany and Wayz to Play. read more

Our second child had some feeding issues that were all too familiar after our very difficult journey to finding out that our older child had a lip tie. We had loved the pediatric dentist and tongue/lip tie specialist Dr. Tracy Tran who had revised our older child's lip tie and took our younger child there for insights on his feeding issues. After it turned out he had lip and tongue ties, Dr. Tran very highly recommended Brittany Cheng of Wayz to Play for consultation before and after the revision. At our first appointment with Brittany, it was clear that she was an expert and had tons of experience helping families in that the same situation that we found ourselves in. She recommended stretches and exercises that would help our baby get ready for the revision and showed us how we could support his healing afterward. We saw her a couple more times after the revision for additional body work and strategies. We felt completely comfortable with her and learned so, so much. Brittany later saw our older child and allowed plenty of time for our toddler to warm up and get comfortable before doing an exam. She then gave us her thoughts about the mouth breathing, snoring and clenching we know were affecting our toddler's sleep and shared very valuable insights about products marketed for mouth breathing children. We truly appreciate Brittany's care, expertise, and rapport and we readily refer her services to our friends. read more

From day one, Brittany became our go-to expert for all things related to our child's development. read more

I loved working with Brittany! She is such an amazing OT, and really helped my son Luca who had oral ties, torticollis and side preference. She has great bedside manner, is super educated, and translates information in such a way that makes it easy for parents to understand. I felt comfortable asking her questions and most importantly, entrusting her with my son's care. Her tips and home program really helped progress my son's milestones and development during a fragile period. I would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for help with their baby. read more

Kind, knowledgeable, personable & caring professionals. Adorable office space. I love their philosophy of care. Definitely recommend!

Brittany was so great with my baby girl. She is very approachable, knowledgeable, and takes her time to explain steps for care. I saw her before and after my baby had a tongue and lip tie released and her guidance helped me with baby's stretches and ensuring that her mouth healed well. She also helped with easing baby's gas and showing me some body exercises and the best way to approach tummy time. I highly recommend! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Brittany after we got my daughter's tongue tight released. She was extremely knowledgeable and taught us different ways to help my daughter learn how to latch and suck better. I can say with confidence that after having just a couple sessions with her that we left having the right tools, which intern allowed us to have a positive breast-feeding experience.! read more

Brittany was so kind and helpful for our son who was going through some feeding delays. He had tongue, lip, and cheek ties so it was a journey for us as parents. She was extremely patient guiding us - especially the after wound care was so helpful to make us feel confident in moving forward with the release procedures. Highly recommend her for preparing for any oral tie releases! read more

There is no other OT I would recommend other than Brittany!! She is hands down the best in OC and brought us hope when we were struggling to find answers. My son had an anterior and posterior tongue tie and she not only helped support us before the release but afterwards as well. When she had a full day of appointments she squeezed us in, she met me after hours and encouraged us to text or call her with questions - she went above and beyond for us. While no mom wants to be dealing with these challenges during the first few months of having their baby Brittany was not only there for my son but she offered me so much support during this whole experience. Looking back, I am so grateful God brought Brittany into our lives I truly don't know how we would have survived those months without her. My son is now thriving and happy and I am so grateful to Brittany for getting us here! read more

Brittany is amazing at what she does. She provided my 1 month old with quality care and really educated myself on how feeding/oral anatomy connects to the whole body. She provided us with strategies, exercises and recommendations to aide in my little one's gas issues and tightness in his neck. Wayz to play is a great space that provides resources and all around support for the postpartum period. Brittany is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! read more

Brittany is knowledgeable, kind, and honest. She opened up a whole world for us and all my children are better for it!

Brittany is fantastic!! She is so incredibly knowledgable and kind - She took extra time to answer all our questions and connected so beautifully with our baby!

She also collaborated with our pediatric dentist and helped a ton with teaching us how to do wound care. Brittany made such a difference in our lives and we recommend her to everyone with a baby! Her office is also super cute and clean! read more

We adore Brittany! My daughter, Raegan, started seeing Brittany at 13 weeks. She had tongue, cheek, & lip ties removed at 4 weeks so we were taking next steps to make sure she was developing orally in the right direction. After just 3 visits, Rae's tongue strength improved immensely as well as her gag reflux. I feel Brittany set us up for success. She answered so many of our questions & gave us exercises to do at home to make sure our baby girl was in the best possible shape. We will continue to see Brittany for milestone check-ups. We are so grateful for her help! read more

Brittany is such a wonderful, caring, and knowledgeable OT when it comes to infants. My baby had some neck tension, which Brittany was able to help resolve through multiple floor exercises. Also, she saw that my baby needed a little work on tongue movement, and she was able to help resolve that as well through oral exercises. Her care plan and directions were thorough and thoughtfully written. She is excellent with babies and I really learned so much from her. As a first time mom, Brittany really helped me get over some anxiety when it came to taking care of my baby and her continued growth. High recommend her if you have any feeding concerns with your baby! read more

We worked with Brittany throughout our journey helping my son through his tongue and lip tie releases! We are so grateful for her and all of her knowledge. She made us feel confident and secure in our decision to do the procedure and she made herself available to us to help with stretches(something she really doesn't have to do but offers because she genuinely cares about babies and their benefits). With her help and reassurance through the stretches and at home exercises to promote his continued growth and developmental achievements, my son is a happy 7month old thriving through all milestones. Our latest milestone(starting solids) was successfully tackled also thanks to Brittany! Seeking professional support can be overwhelming and pricey but your baby is worth it, you won't regret choosing Wayz To Play read more

Brittany is such an amazing OT. She's been super helpful & patient with treating my daughter's oral inversion & tongue + lip tie pre & after surgery. She has amazing pointers. Couldn't recommend her enough. read more

Brittany helped our family immensely when our twins started to refuse bottles right when I was to return to work from maternity leave. We had tried everything in our wheelhouse (10+ bottles, different positions, different people giving bottle, etc) to get the twins to take a bottle and nothing worked. During our first visit with Brittany, the twins accepted a bottle! She is so knowledgeable, informative, patient and clearly loves what she does. She gave us hope during an extremely stressful time. She also guided us on introducing solids and overall exercises for the twins to help with general mobility and motor skills. I highly recommend Brittany for any feeding challenges you are experiencing. She is worth her weight in gold!! read more

She also provides recommendations for teethers, cups, and resources that are helpful, which is so appreciated. There's too much information out there, and it's overwhelming. Thank you for all you do, Brittany! read more

Brittney was the absolute best! We started to work with her after my son had a tongue, lip, and buccal release at 2 weeks of age. She walked us through his care to improve his oral motor skills in hopes of being able to establish a latch. Besides her level of experience, she was knowledge as a mother and helped us navigate through such a vulnerable time in our journey as new parents. Brittney was so approachable and continued to check in with us post sessions to ensure the plan of care was working. Our sessions with her helped our baby have a successful recovery! We also learned great techniques to interact with him and build on his development. We drove quite far to see the team at Verve and they did not disappoint. They were all so accommodating and supportive in a collaborative approach to help our little guy. We can't thank them enough for what they did for our entire family! read more

I am so glad that we found Brittany. She helped us confirm the severity of my daughter's oral ties. With her guidance, we felt confident in proceeding with oral release surgery. It was a relief seeing that a release provider I was recommended by a friend was on Brittany's suggested provider list. My husband and I felt prepared and supported going into the surgery and for the recovery process. I appreciated all the oral activities she recommended to help my daughter strengthen her oral skills. I am so happy that she went from pocketing food in her cheeks to such a great eater. read more

My daughter was getting her tongue tie operation done and the dentist referred us to Wayz to Play to help prepare us for the operation and the after care.

My son and I adore Brittany, she is the best pediatric OT around as far as we are concerned. We met Brittany when my son was only 3 weeks old after he had feeding struggles and not gaining back his birth weight. He was diagnosed with posterior tongue tie, cheek ties, and a lip tie as well as a high palate and overbite. We had his ties released and were referred to Brittany to help with his very underdeveloped suck reflex. She was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and comforting for this worried mama. We couldn't get in for a week due to a holiday but she did an extensive phone call with us to set up the appointment making sure we understood occupational therapy and also making me feel very hopeful we should be able to breast feed, wean off nipple shields and get my son to gain weight. She is incredibly thorough with her evaluation and a great educator, and even more importantly SO good with babies. My son absolutely loved her and she made the OT exercises fun for him. She had a lot of great recommendations and follow up. We met all of our feeding goals, and I am so grateful for Brittany's help. I truly don't know what we would have done without her. read more

We learned so much! She also gave us exercises to do at home with him which I think really aided his recovery.
