Gentle tongue-tie care in the comfort of your home, by experienced midwife Gem.

I'm Gem, a practising midwife, qualified tongue-tie practitioner, and proud mum of two who continue to inspire everything I do.

I’ve been supporting families since 2008, working within the NHS to provide care during some of life’s most transformative moments. But it was my own experience with tongue-tie—faced by both of my children—that deepened my passion for helping parents navigate the challenges it posed with feeding. I know first-hand how stressful it can be when feeding doesn’t go to plan, whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or doing a bit of both.

That’s why I created Day One Midwife: to offer a calm, responsive, and compassionate home-based service. By visiting families in their own space, I can provide unhurried, thorough assessments and, where indicated, same-day frenulotomy (tongue-tie division) without the wait, travel or disruption of clinic appointments.

Your home offers a peaceful, familiar setting where baby can feed and recover comfortably, and where you, as parents, feel seen and supported. My goal is always to deliver personalised care that puts your baby’s needs—and your confidence—at the centre. Whether you’re unsure if tongue-tie is affecting your baby or you're seeking prompt treatment, I’m here to help—gently, respectfully, and avoiding unnecessary delay.
