Tongue Tie & Breastfeeding Support in Chester & IBCLC Lactation Consultant at Tongue Tie Northwest

I’m an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Specialist Public Health Nurse and Tongue Tie Practitioner, providing breastfeeding and infant feeding support in Chester and the North West.

I qualified as a Specialist Public Health Nurse (Health Visitor) in 2005 and have worked in NHS infant feeding specialist roles since 2014. In 2017, I completed my Diploma in Breastfeeding and, in 2018, achieved my lifelong ambition of qualifying as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).

Tongue Tie Assessment & Support in Chester

In 2020 I furthered my education and trained as a tongue tie practitioner with Southampton University. I have a wealth of experience supporting families who are facing complex feeding challenges such as tongue tie, faltering growth or medical conditions. I understand that every feeding journey may look different and I always strive to provide holistic, individualised care to every family I support.

In my spare time I volunteer with The National Childbirth Trust (NCT). I am also a committee member with The Association of Tongue Tie Practitioners ( ATP) which enables me to keep up to date with the latest research in infant feeding and tongue tie. 

Experienced IBCLC & Tongue Tie Practitioners

I co-founded Tongue Tie Northwest with experience colleague and friend Sharon Hollman. By choosing us to provide your care you will not only benefit from our qualifications as international board certified lactation consultants (IBCLCs) and tongue tie practitioners, but also from the wealth of experience and expertise we bring with being a qualified midwife, a qualified health visitor and having both spent time in NHS infant feeding leadership roles.

We are located just outside Chester at Marcher House Clinic, Marcher House, Marcher Court, Sealand Road, Chester, CH1 6BS. We are able to offer appointments both in a clinic setting or in your home (dependant on location) and although we prefer to see you face to face we are happy to arrange telephone or virtual consultations, where appropriate, to suit your needs.

We have an excellent network of professionals to whom we can refer for services complimentary to ours such as cranial osteopathy as we share premises with the Vitality Chiropractic clinic.
