4. Consent
By booking a consultation you consent for me to work with you and your baby during the consultation and during any follow up communication. Please be aware that due to the nature of lactation support, you will likely expose your breasts during a consultation. During a consultation I may ask to look closely at or touch your breasts in order to assess damage/breast tissue/your baby’s latch. I will explain what I am wanting to look at or touch prior to doing so. If at any point you withdraw consent, I will immediately stop. During a face-to-face consultation, I may also ask to conduct an oral assessment of your baby’s mouth. If this is the case, I will explain the procedure and follow necessary safety precautions before starting. If at any point you withdraw consent, I will immediately stop. I am not a medical doctor or a tongue tie provider. I can advise you on a range of “normal” and discuss if something seems outside of that range. I can share evidence-based information and I can help you to make decisions based on that evidence. I cannot diagnose anything. I will always signpost medical queries to your primary care provider, and if I suspect a tongue tie I will recommend full assessment and diagnosis by a tongue tie practitioner.
5. Refunds

A 50% refund will be offered if notice of cancellation is provided between 24-48 hours before the consultation start time.
