I’m a certified babywearing educator through the Center for Babywearing Studies. I meet parents and caregivers where they are as they explore the beautiful world of wearing their babies. I help you have the confidence to choose and use baby carriers so you can make the most of your babywearing journey, whether your goals are to help baby fall asleep, go on a big trip, or get more done during the day. I also troubleshoot when things just don't feel great when babywearing. It is amazing how supportive and comfortable babywearing can be with proper technique and the right carriers for you and your baby.
Babywearing Education
This offering is perfect either during pregnancy or postpartum. Private consultations are flexible to help you meet your babywearing goals.
Offerings:
These brief meetings are ideal for those who already have a carrier and are looking for advice and adjustments for an optimal fit from a trained consultant.
60-minute private consultations offer an opportunity for caregivers to go in depth to make the most of their babywearing journey. There is no 'typical' session. Each consultation is guided by where you and your baby are in terms of babywearing and what you want to get out of the hour. It could include fit checks, demonstrations of styles you'd like to explore (I have a collection of stretchy wraps, woven wraps, ring slings, meh dais, onbuhimos, half buckles, and soft structured carriers), and hands-on practice with a demo doll or with your baby. Each session also includes free follow-up support. Private sessions can be conducted in your home, in a public space, or virtually, depending on your needs. A private consultation is perfect to gift a new parent or add to a registry.
