Qualified Tongue Tie Practitioners are specially trained to diagnose a tongue tie following a thorough assessment. This involves taking a detailed history of your unique pregnancy, birth and feeding journey, completing a feeding assessment and observing a feed if required, and most importantly, carrying out a full oral examination which includes assessing the *function* of the tongue.

Tongue function is crucial to diagnosis as many babies (whether fed by breast or bottle) can be significantly impacted by a frenulum that, at a glance, does not look like a tongue tie.

So if you and/or your baby are experiencing any number of the symptoms listed and would like to explore whether your baby may have a restrictive tongue tie, then please get in touch 💕

“BEHOLD, My Mummy!

From 2 tiny cells she grew me. For nine months she kept me safe. She felt me, talked to me, trusted me. With every ounce of her strength, she brought me earth side safely. She will nourish me, hold me, teach me, love me. My mummy, my whole world.

She’s pretty astonishing, don’t you think?”

Families of all shapes, sizes and colours of the rainbow are welcome here 🌈✨

Love and family should be at the heart of the pregnancy, birth and postnatal journey.

There is no room for hate or inequality on this sacred path to new life, in whatever form that path may take.

🌿 All birthing bodies are magnificent.

🌿 And all non-birthing bodies are magnificent too!

🌿 Everyone is innately spectacular ~ I feel that overwhelmingly at every single birth I am lucky enough to bear witness to 🙏✨

Because, for me, midwifery is not simply 'with-woman', it is about all the magnificent, spectacular humans our words and actions impact on and the ripple effect that has in our society 🌊

And I think a gentle birth with loving, empowered parents is a flippin' good start to life for all the new, spectacular humans joining our magnificent families🙌

✨ S I D E - L Y I N G R E L E A S E ✨

This simple technique is astounding.

It provides a stretch to the deep pelvic muscles, releasing tension in the pelvic floor that may be causing a restriction or imbalance.

This stretching softens and lengthens the pelvic muscles temporarily, which can make space for your baby to adjust their position to something more comfortable for birth.

Babies are intuitive. They use all space available to them to be born. So when tension is released and space is made, they will use that space to adopt a more optimal position for birth.

This technique can be done antenatally and/or during labour. It can simply be used for comfort or it may be helpful if there are concerns about the baby's position or labour 'progress'.

Recently, I have seen the side-lying release work like magic when a baby's head is 'tilted' (known as asynclitic). The uneven pressure from the tilted head can effect the pattern and flow of labour, and make it more difficult for the head to move down through the pelvis. Either during or shortly after the side-lying release (on both sides), the mothers often feel something shift, the waves become more powerful and rhythmic, and the instincts of birth unfold... ✨

I am immensely grateful to Molly O'Brien, from Optimal Birth, who shared this wisdom with me. Through her Biomechanics for Birth course, I learned many simple and effective techniques like this one, which help to support the natural physiology of birth and reduce intervention 🙏

The Side-lying Release can help labor progress, reduce pain, and calm a tense pregnant person using a “static stretch” to slightly enlarge and soften the pelvis.
