Book a Consultation

Please select one of the treatment options below, which will then take you to my integrated booking system. To book you will be asked to create your 'Patient profile'; this incorporates a medical and birthing history 'Intake form' which creates a portal for you to be able to see your infants records and make any changes to your appointment (please use your infant's name to book). The 'Intake form' is due at point of booking, but should you need longer please just let me know so that I am not chasing your tail!
-
If your infant has any known medical conditions, please contact me to discuss suitability for a frenulotomy procedure BEFORE you proceed to book a consultation.
-
Due to the size of the clinic space, only a maximum of 2 adults plus the infant are invited to attend. It is not a suitable environment for older siblings, please arrange childcare for other children. The location is right next door to a beautiful large park so you may consider another adult spending time with them there weather permitting.
-
The biological mother MUST be present to attend any appointment. In cases of adoption, foster care or surrogacy; a 'Parental Responsibility Court Order' needs to be brought to the consultation. This is a court order that gives someone the legal right to care for and make decisions about a child which legally establishes who has the authority to make significant decisions; such as consenting to a surgical procedure. In some instances, a social worker may also be required to be present. In absence of this evidence, a frenulotomy (tongue-tie procedure) can not be performed. A second supporting adult is welcome to also attend the appointment.
Similarly, if you need any assistance to complete it please just reach out to me.
At your appointment, I will discuss your ‘Patient intake form’ responses, perform a full tongue motility assessment and potentially also a division of a restrictive tongue-tie. A tongue function assessment is conducted following medical, birthing and feeding consultation. If a release is assumed beneficial, it will be offered during the same appointment-although there is no obligation to do so. A feeding plan & ongoing virtual support for 6 weeks (via the parent's area of this website &/or my closed Facebook group) is also included.
Should a release not be necessary, I can investigate the feeding issues, suggest a feeding plan, or signpost you to additional services who may further support you.
Should a surgical tongue-tie release be advised and performed in the same appointment then the total fee remains £220.00. However, should a surgical release not be performed then I refund £100.00 to your original payment method (so total charge is £120.00).
This appointment is for a reassessment, re-division of a (suspected) restrictive frenulum where I have provided the original and first division or for additional in-person support (x1 attendance).
*If an alternative practitioner has provided the first division please call me in the first instance to discuss your case before booking this as ideally the original specialist is best placed to assess the clinical need and has the original notes to hand.
A re-assessment may be suggested to you by myself as part of my follow-up communications with you, should a further division be recommended this is included in this consultation.
If this is our first consultation together then please also kindly complete the 'Intake form', a link will be sent to you to complete this but this is also found in your 'patient profile' account.
Re-assessment fee £120.00.
Infant Feeding and Lactation support with an 'Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant' (IBCLC). Effective Infant feeding support involves a full history taking and observation of a feed to visually see feeding behaviours. It incorporates the identification of potential issues and support to remedy them. A feeding plan & ongoing support for 6 weeks (via the parent's area of this website &/or my closed Facebook group) is also included.
Once feeding issues have been identified, I will work with you to work towards your individual goals and support you on your feeding journey. I am able to support all methods of feeding ability including breastfeeding, bottle feeding, combination feeding and introducing solids. I am an IBCLC (International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant) which is considered the gold standard in training and competence for lactation knowledge and support, although I am also a registered LEARRC infant feeding specialist too.
Infant feeding support fee: £120.00.

Please refer to the cancellations policy for guidance should you cancel or miss your appointment. You are able to make alterations in your 'patient profile'.
3. Proceed to book, this creates your 'Patient profile' by following by the on-screen guidance.
(Nb 'First name & 'Last name' refers to your infant).
This creates a “patient account” or “portal”. This allows you to keep access to your infants medical notes and also make changes to the appointment (cancel, reschedule etc) if necessary.
4. Complete your intake form and review the required agreements as soon as possible. This request is sent to your email to remind you to complete but your appointment WILL BE CANCELLED if it is not completed.
At your appointment remember to bring:
1. Your infant's Red health book/Ered book,
2. A blanket or jumbo muslin square,
3. If your baby is bottle-fed: bring a bottle with prepared milk or EBM
4. Soother/pacifier/nipple shields if they are already introduced.
If your infant is over 12 weeks old:
1. Consider administering paracetamol before your appointment.
2. A "peckish" but not ravenous infant. I do observe a feed so we need your little one to be hungry!
3. Where able, book your appointment to time in with after a nap, so your little one is not over-tired.
4. Bring along any soothing toys/sensory/calming/techniques that your little one is familiar with and enjoys
Your booking is not completed until the 'Intake Form' has been submitted. A link for this will be sent to your Email address within a few seconds after your scheduled appointment has been secured. This is required at point of booking so that all clinical details and feeding history can be reviewed in advance of the consultation.
If you need longer to complete this or would like some help/assistance to complete it please just let me know and I will be happy to assist :)

Payment Breakdown:
The full fee for your appointment is taken when scheduling your consultation.
*If you have scheduled and paid for a surgical release, and this is not mutually agreed as the best treatment for your infant at this stage, then you are charged the fee equivalent to an 'Infant feeding support' appointment and the difference is refunded back to your original payment method, so you are only paying for the service you receive.
All fees are transferred to D-Restricted Ltd using 'Jane transactions' via Stripe.
**Should a personal insurance plan be incurring the cost, it is parental responsibility to ensure the procedure is covered in their "Terms and Conditions". Payment for the appointment is still required to D-Restricted Ltd at the consultation using the saved payment details on file, and then it is the parents responsibility to contact their insurance provider for reimbursement. Receipts for the costs you have incurred are available to view and print in your 'patient profile' but if bespoke details are needed from your insurance provider I am happy to provide these too.
In the event you cancel your appointment with over 4 hours notice, only the booking fee is deducted. If you cancel your appointment with less than 4 hours notice then the full fee of the consultation is taken.
The booking fee is non-refundable in all events but is transferrable should you wish to reschedule your consultation, unless you have previously rescheduled more than 3 times, in which case the booking fee is also not refunded nor transferred to another appointment. Please refer to the Cancellation Policy for further details.
