Every Family Welcome
At the heart of my practice is a simple belief: every family deserves compassionate, evidence-based infant feeding support.
Families come in many forms and every feeding journey is unique. I am committed to creating a welcoming, respectful and inclusive environment where all families feel seen, heard and supported.
No matter how your family is formed, you are welcome here!
My Role within the Association of Tongue-tie Practitioners
I am proud to be part of the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Team at the Association of Tongue-tie Practitioners (ATP).
The team works to promote inclusive practice, improve representation within the profession and encourage practitioners to consider how barriers to healthcare affects different communities.
Through this work, I contribute to discussions, educational resources and awareness initiatives that aim to ensure infant feeding and tongue-tie support is accessible, welcoming and equitable for all families.
Families I Support
I welcome and support:
• LGBTQ+ families
• Single parents
• Foster and Adoptive families
• Families formed through surrogacy
• Blended families
• Neurodivergent families
• Disabled parents and caregivers
• Families from all cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds
• Breastfeeding, chestfeeding, expressing, combination-feeding and bottle-feeding families
• Families with premature babies, multiple babies or babies with additional needs
• Parents, partners, co-parents, grandparents and caregivers
Representation matters: Every family deserves to feel that they belong.
Neurodiversity-Friendly Care
Many parents seeking infant feeding support are neurodivergent, including those who have autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia or other forms of neurodivergence. I understand that people communicate, process information and experience the world in different ways.
I aim to:
• Provide clear explanations and expectations
• Offer follow-up information in a variety of formats such as written and visual
• Allow time for questions and processing information
• Respect different communication styles
• Create a supportive environment where parents can be themselves
Cultural and Religious Inclusion
Infant feeding and parenting practices are often shaped by culture, faith, family traditions and personal values.
I welcome conversations about cultural practices, religious beliefs and family customs and will always seek to provide support that respects these while sharing evidence-based information.
