I’ve lost track of how many times a day I say “it’s like a jigsaw puzzle”.

I’ve trained to Masters and post graduate level to understand a baby’s anatomy and physiology inside and out. If there is a physical reason for their discomfort or symptoms we’ll find it!

We’re preparing little people’s bodies for their future! It’s a privilege 😊

In the current climate of social media information, unregulated professionals, under qualified people working outside their scope of practice I feel it’s even more important to find people with the qualifications, DBS, safeguarding and oversight to work with. Don’t be afraid to ask any practitioner for this information!

Ps. You CAN’T diagnose Tongue tie or release tension over a ZOOM call or with ‘intention’ or without actually touching the baby 😳

The nails are done 🙌 (if you work with your hands you know what this means) That’s me signing off for 2025. Thank you to all the wonderful people who have crossed my path this year. You all mean the world to me. Wishing everyone health and happiness for 2026 ###x

The quality of feeding & breathing is so important in a baby’s journey. I’m looking to establish optimal function to help with immediate issues but also future proof your baby!
I perform a full oral & cranial assessment and I’m a qualified tongue tie assessor

I train/work with many health care professionals including Midwives, IBCLC’s, dentists, speech & language therapists, chiropractors & myofunctional therapists who are at the forefront of research, optimal function and preventive healthcare for children.

Looking forward to the inaugural conference of The Society For Dentofacial Growth and Function tomorrow!

Paediatric osteopaths know how to assess the function of your baby’s mouth, tongue, suck and look at how this may be affected by all the tissues that are connected. If feeding is still an issue despite support from other professionals, it may be worth getting an oral assessment to see if the function can be improved by body work or exercises!
