At the current time I am offering my all consults and classes online. To book a consult please click on the link above.
I offer a kind compassionate service which is based around your breastfeeding goals (not mine). At the end of the consult you will get a written plan of what we have changed and my breastfeeding booklet. One consult is generally enough to sort most problems with follow up by phone/email afterwards.
Tongue Tie Assessment and Referral/ Help with Breastfeeding: I have extensive professional and personal experience of tongue tie and its impact on breastfeeding. I can assess for all types of tongue tie in babies although this can be limited in online consults and can send a referral to a medical practitioner for division.
Other reasons might you need a consult?
- Sometimes just for your own confidence to check all is well.
- Breastfeeding did not go well on a previous baby.
