Pauline Evans
Certified Lactation Consultant
IBCLC, RM BSc Hons, RGN, SCPHN BSc Hons,
Myofunctional Practitioner, Tongue Tie Practitioner
I have worked in a variety of clinical settings which includes nursing in hospital and in the Community. I have nursed premature babies, children’s nursing, adult nursing, midwifery and in general practice. This has given me broad general knowledge on many aspects of health, illness and recovery.
​
Although no longer practicing as a qualified midwife, I use my knowledge and experience of birth and feeding practices in my current role as a Board certified lactation consultant and tongue tie practitioner. Until recently, I was the Specialist Infant Feeding lead for an NHS Community Trust, a post I held for 14 years, leaving to concentrate solely on my private practice in supporting families with all aspects of infant feeding.
In this role, I supported mums and babies with all aspects of breast and bottle feeding and ran a virtual breastfeeding support clinic. I delivered training to Health Visitors covering all aspects of breastfeeding, bottle feeding and tongue tie management, in addition to devising pathways around supporting mums to manage challenges such as mastitis, and
weight issues with their babies.​
I have also supported many mums and NHS colleagues utilizing my specialist knowledge as a lactation consultant to help with issues such as building milk supply, re-lactation, faltering growth, reflux, and recognizing and treating various allergies.
​
I have progressed my knowledge via further training at Masters Level, as a tongue tie practitioner. In addition to supporting my own clients, I have used this knowledge to train and support professional colleagues to assess and support parents whose baby have a tongue tie. Having a certificate in orofacial myofunctional therapy means that I can provide more holistic, personalised, one to one care for babies having difficulties with feeding.

If you are struggling with feeding your little one(s) please see my reviews on Facebook and my website to see how I have helped other families and how I can help you.
I look forward to working with you.
