Hi, I’m whitney tiller.
My journey in infant feeding began in the UK's NHS as a Breastfeeding Peer Support Counselor, before training as a Registered Midwife in 2014 and later becoming a Tongue Tie Practitioner, treating 400-500 infants a year for tethered oral tissue. In 2021 I became an Infant Feeding Specialist Midwife, training staff, launching skin-to-skin initiatives, and helping my trust earn UNICEF Baby Friendly accreditation — then completed my IBCLC certification in 2022.
Since relocating to the Pacific Northwest in 2023, I've been proud to support families through the Andaluz and Astoria birth centers, and Wildflower Lactation, bringing my global experience to parents across the Northern coastal counties and Portland metro area.

🌿 I'm a bit of a nerd for evidence-based feeding support, and I'm not pro-breast or pro-bottle — I'm pro-parent. Whatever your feeding journey looks like, you'll always get judgment-free support from me. 💛
My Approach
Bespoke Care
Your care is tailored to you — from preferred pronouns and terminology to neurodivergent-informed support that offers real, individualized solutions.
Inclusive Care
I proudly support families of all orientations, identities, nationalities, and birth philosophies — including LGBTQIA+ communities.
Hands-Off Approach
I respect your boundaries and will never touch you or your baby without explicit consent — care that's especially important for those with a history of trauma.
Testimonials:
“My eldest child was tongue tied and my feeding journey got off to a tricky start. Whitney’s support was invaluable. She was so supportive, kind, knowledgeable and non judgemental. She was also there for me with my second, and helped us breastfeed moments after birth (and for the following 15 months). I’m expecting my third and will certainly be calling on Whitney again”
Laura and Pearl
“No words can express how valuable Whitney’s advice was to us when most needed! Her unrushed, gentle and partner inclusive approach made me feel calm and empowered. Thank you Whitney for supporting me to have an amazing (still on going) breastfeeding experience! You are gold!!”
Petra and Athena
“Where do I begin…Whitney is a wonder! Her support throughout my pregnancy with antenatal expression and after our daughter was born with pumping and breastfeeding saw our premature baby exclusively breastfed. Her dedication to research and support for our unique journey was completely invaluable”
Izzy and Margot
“Whitney, we can't thank you enough for all of your support and saving our feeding journey. When I contacted you about my 9 week old baby son, I was at my wit's end. I thought we were dealing with a bottle aversion as he wouldn't take a bottle, I couldn't breastfeed and I had already tried lots of different feeding positions, 4 different bottles, a GP who said it was just silent reflux and a handful of different healthcare professionals who told me he didn't have a tongue tie. I'm so glad I found you, as soon as I spoke to you on the phone, you instantly made me feel at ease. Your professionalism, support and guidance to establish a CMPA (cow's milk protein allergy) and a posterior tongue tie was exactly what we needed when I felt like no one was listening. I would fully recommend anyone to approach you to investigate their precious baby's feeding issues, as honestly you've changed Phoenix's quality of life, and helped him enjoy his favorite thing to do, feed! And helped a very tired, frustrated and upset Mumma who just wanted to be able to feed her baby! Also your fast turnaround just made me feel like someone else was as worried as I was. My midwife in my pocket, thank you!

“Whitney is an absolute star. My baby Edwin and I got off to a tricky start with breastfeeding as he was tongue tied and had a very shallow latch. This made my breasts engorged, feeding more difficult for Edwin and painful for me, during which he struggled to regain his birth weight. Whitney was wonderful during the snip procedure and for many days after, providing support once I was home from hospital with his latch and feeding plan. She always explained things so well and was so kind and patient with my many many questions. She provided support during a difficult time which I will not forget and is truly impressive and passionate with the work that she does. I could not recommend her enough.
