Hi, I’m Emily. I support families with infant feeding because I’ve seen firsthand how the right guidance can make a meaningful difference – regardless of the feeding path they choose. Every family’s journey is different, and my role is to help you feel informed and confident in your decisions.

With a background in the NHS, I came to understand that infant feeding goes far beyond nutrition. Challenges like tongue ties often fly under the radar, and inconsistent advice can leave families feeling confused or unsupported. This is what led me to train as a tongue tie practitioner and lactation consultant: to offer clear, practical support that’s rooted in evidence and compassion.

I’m here to help you navigate the complexities of infant feeding with a calm, respectful approach that recognises the needs of both you and your baby.

Helen Tute

Independent Craniosacral Therapist

I am an independent CST and sole trader, responsible for my own clinical care and therapy services.

Qualifications & Training:

  • Craniosacral Therapist
  • Maternity Nurse
  • KGH Hypnobirthing Teacher (KGHdip)
  • 3-Step Rewind Accredited Practitioner

Since my eldest was born in 2016, I have been working and volunteering in the fields of birth, infant feeding, child development (0-19 years), and parenting.

After experiencing the profound impact of a traumatic birth, I pursued training in Craniosacral Therapy, Hypnobirthing and the 3-Step Rewind (NLP) technique. These therapies have enabled me to help families release tension and trauma held in their bodies, enhancing the wellness of the whole family.

My aim is to help families to prioritise their well-being by addressing and working through any trauma they may be carrying. This approach can make the early days with a newborn more manageable, time with infants more enjoyable, and the pre/postnatal period more peaceful.
