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

My own experience of tongue-tie affecting both of my children deepened my passion for supporting 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 are 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 service in the comfort of their own home. I offer thorough assessment, careful explanation, and same day frenulotomy where clinically appropriate. All without the wait, travel or disruption that can come with attending a clinic appointment.

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 throughout the process. 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 throughout the process.
