I’m Gem, a practising midwife and qualified tongue-tie practitioner. I’ve been supporting families since 2008, working across both the NHS and private practice throughout pregnancy, birth and the early postnatal period.

My own experience of tongue-tie affecting both of my children has shaped how I support parents through the challenges it can bring. I understand first-hand how overwhelming feeding difficulties can feel and what it is like to be the parent while your baby receives treatment.

Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle feeding or doing a bit of both, my role is to support you without judgement and with balanced, evidence-based advice.

I created Day One Midwife to provide families with a calm, personalised, CQC-registered service in the comfort of their own home. I offer thorough assessment, careful explanation and same-day frenulotomy where clinically appropriate, without the travel or disruption that can come with attending a clinic appointment.

I was honoured to be named Private Midwife of the Year for Central England at the Prestige Awards for 2025/2026.

Being at home allows babies to feed and settle in familiar surroundings, while giving parents the space to ask questions openly and feel more at ease. For many families, this makes the experience feel calmer and more manageable.

My aim is to provide safe, timely care while helping you feel informed and supported at every step.
