Testimonials
Leonie is brilliant. I would highly recommend her.
Our son had a significant tongue-tie and she had to perform two cuts to help with his feeding. Leonie was so understanding about the implications of the tongue tie and the pain I was in whilst feeding him. She was efficient and explained every aspect of the procedures and what would happen, always being clear and thorough.
She was kind and caring and kept it all easy and light with her sense of humour.
She sent useful videos and followed up with messages to check up and was always accessible for any queries or support required.
In addition to this the follow up groups she provides were so helpful and supportive. The fact that she offers these at no extra charge is amazing and I doubt other practitioners do the same.
In the current situation where postnatal care is something to be desired, she made me as a mother feel supported, seen and heard. She made my postnatal experience much better and easier and I will be eternally grateful to her for it all.
Thank you Leonie.

Leonie was amazing in helping with our little girl’s tongue-tie diagnosis and division.
We first saw Leonie at &osteo where she assessed our baby and talked us through all our options. We were initially undecided on how to proceed and seeing this Leonie kindly offered to follow up with a home visit in the event we decided to go ahead with the division. This allowed us the time to properly consider our options.
Leonie was super knowledgeable, kind and excellent with our little girl whilst she did the assessment, and subsequent division. She also helped put our minds at ease with some non tongue tie-related matters and provided tips on improving breastfeeding positions/latch.
Leonie’s after care was great, we couldn’t have asked for more. She was easily contactable via WhatsApp, and always answered our questions, however small.
We would 100% recommend Leonie to other parents

Leonie was wonderful in helping with our baby’s tongue-tie diagnosis and division. Our son was struggling to latch and we’d been given differing advice on how to improve this by the hospital, so we booked a home visit with Leonie. Leonie was knowledgeable, kind and excellent with our son whilst she did the assessment. On diagnosing tongue tie, she then clearly talked us through our options and was very patient with all our questions as nervous first time parents.
Leonie’s after care was great: we had home visits and then her fortnightly follow up group sessions, as well as contact via WhatsApp. Throughout our engagement with Leonie we felt very looked after as a family and wouldn’t hesitate in rebooking her.

We highly recommend Leonie. She is highly qualified and experienced and this shows in her work. While we had previously received unhelpful mixed messaging and speculative views from other professionals, Leonie was the only individual to complete a comprehensive and thorough assessment of any potential tongue-tie and explain in clear language her approach and findings. She also shared benchmarking indicators.
Her bedside manner and good humour make the experience of working with her all the more pleasant, peaceful, stress free and reassuring. She also offered us feeding advice and guidance in addition to other newborn insights. We are very grateful to her.

Leonie is an absolute gem. I approached Leonie after feeling somewhat underwhelmed with my current quality of care and she joined my pregnancy journey at 32 weeks. It’s safe to say that I could not have gone through my pregnancy and birth without her. My husband and I are eternally grateful that she was there every step of the way. One thing Leonie is great at is making you feel like you are her only client and sole focus for the time that she is with you….and she is SO generous with her time and will never make you feel like you are on a clock.
Leonie is everything I could’ve wanted from a midwife and more – she is a true expert in her field and coupled with that, is a kind and compassionate human being who goes above and beyond.
She will also never leave you waiting more than about a minute before responding to your messages! I would recommend Leonie to anyone who is looking for a truly dedicated midwife – believe me when I say you will be in safe hands and will have so much fun along the way!

Leonie was incredibly supportive in relation to a suspected posterior tongue-tie for our newborn daughter, which was causing her weight to fluctuate. Leonie was an absolute pleasure to work with, and her expertise and guidance was truly invaluable in setting us on the right path to improve our daughter’s feeding and wellbeing.

We are so grateful to Leonie for all of her incredible help. Our son had a tongue-tie and trouble latching. I was in a lot of pain feeding and struggling mentally when we met. Leonie was amazing with the TT procedure and all the aftercare. She supported me and my partner above and beyond, with so many helpful tips and lots of great advice and guidance. I’m not sure I’d still be breastfeeding if it weren’t for all her help and care. She is wonderful and I’d recommend her to anyone going through any feeding challenges.
