Jennifer Johnson

Midwife, Tongue Tie Practitioner & IBCLC

My name is Jenny Johnson, and I’ve been a practising midwife since qualifying in 2006. I now work as an independent midwife, offering truly holistic, family-centred care with a strong focus on continuity and informed choice.

Throughout my midwifery career, I’ve had a deep interest in supporting breastfeeding mothers and their babies. After both of my sons were born with tongue-ties, I was surprised by how little knowledge and support was available for families navigating this issue. This personal experience inspired me to complete a master’s-level course in tongue-tie and tongue-tie division at the University of Wolverhampton – the only university-accredited course of its kind in the UK.

I believe that tongue-tie treatment should never be delivered in isolation. Simply performing a division without skilled follow-up support often leads to suboptimal outcomes. That’s why I work closely with Amanda Brooks, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).

 

Amanda provides comprehensive infant feeding support before, during and after the procedure – including assessing feeding effectiveness and body tension – to ensure the best possible outcomes for each family.

I am fully registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for tongue-tie procedures, and insured through the Association of Tongue-Tie Practitioners (ATTP). I am committed to providing safe, effective, and compassionate care that supports both the physical and emotional needs of the families I work with.

Amanda Brooks

IBCLC, CFT

My passion for supporting new families began after the birth of my first child. I made a complete career change and trained as a Babywearing Consultant, running a busy sling library and consultancy for several years.

 

This work deepened my interest in infant mental health and attachment, and I soon recognised a growing need for accessible infant feeding support. I went on to train as a Breastfeeding Peer Supporter.

This led to a role with One to One Midwives as a Mother and Midwife Assistant, where I provided individualised, specialist care around infant feeding and normal newborn behaviour. It was here that my dedication to supporting families truly took root.

After the birth of my second child, I began working towards becoming an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) – the gold standard qualification in breastfeeding care, recognised worldwide.

 

Since qualifying in 2018, I have specialised in the clinical management of infant feeding and complex feeding issues. I am also qualified in oral motor habilitation and craniosacral fascial therapy, which allows me to take a truly holistic approach when supporting babies with feeding challenges.

Today, I work both in private practice and as an Infant Feeding Coordinator for an NHS community team. I strongly believe that support should be tailored to each family’s needs, values, and goals. My role is to empower, encourage, and educate – offering evidence-based information and compassionate care that supports your feeding journey, whatever that may look like.
