We are very grateful for making tongue-tie division procedure so smooth and easy not only for baby, but for me as well. Cannot thank you enough for a complete thorough assessment whether division is needed as well as taking care of both of us after it. I definitely felt my baby was in safe hands

I can't thank Zita Maria Maternity enough for coming so quickly to assess and carry out my son's tongue tie. They were completely professional, personable and ensured all checks were carried out before carrying out the procedure. He did need the procedure and Michelle went through everything she would be doing and explained it wouldn't hurt. They asked me throughout if I was happy for them to continue when my son was upset.

They made me feel at ease and the procedure was quick and pain free. They offered after care advice and followed on with documents to help too. Michelle also followed up with a call a week later to see how we were doing and offered further support and advice. If you need a tongue tie assessment or procedure I couldn't recommend the team highly enough.

We would thoroughly recommend using Zita Maria if you are concerned about your baby's tongue tie. From start to finish the were absolutely amazing and couldn't have put us more at ease. Nothing was too much trouble and they came at such short notice which really helped us out with our 1 week old baby. Keep up the great work guys!

I had Michelle with both my youngest pregnancies and wish I had met her sooner with my two eldest, Michelle was very caring throughout and nothing was to much for her . I felt so at ease and comfortable with her and I could ask her anything ,she also helped with any fears I had during my pregnancies
