SERVICES

I offer one to one or group consultations in my home, in your own home or at a suitable location in or around Surrey and the surrounds areas of West Sussex, South London, including Epsom, Cheam, Chessington, Horsham, Reigate, Leatherhead, Oxshott and Dorking here I am based. I also offer these online via Zoom.

Consultations are ideal for those who wish to learn about carrying, whether you are pregnant and want to learn ahead, have a newborn and want to carry them, or have an older baby or toddler. These can be for both parents to attend with your child.

I can help you with your own sling/carrier or I have a large selection you are able to try using demo dolls to practice so you can build your confidence safely.

Paying for time with a trained consultant can help you gain knowledge as well as improving your techniques so you can carry comfortably. confidently and safely.

Lasts around 90 minutes. It covers the 4th trimester, normal infant behaviour, postnatal period and how carrying helps your baby to adjust to their new world and you to adjust to becoming a parent!  We go over a selection of slings using the demo doll to practice to narrow down the choices and go through how to use these in depth.  Once your baby is born we have a 1 hr follow up as part of the consultation.
