How I Can Support You
A 1:1 babywearing consultation is tailored completely to you and your family. During our session, we’ll:
Explore different carrier options to suit your baby’s stage and your lifestyle.
Practise together until you feel confident and comfortable.
Cover safe positioning and sling safety checks.
Look at how babywearing can support feeding (breast or bottle), daily routines, and bonding.
Consultations usually last around an hour and can take place in your home or at an agreed local venue.
My Lived & Professional Experience
I knew I would carry my first baby and spent most of my pregnancy practicing and learning the skills with a doll,
soon babywearing became a natural part of our everyday life.
From there, I first trained as a peer supporter, set up the first NCT Sling Library,
then became a consultant and went on to run a very busy independent sling library in Ashton-Under-Lyne;
a working class area of Manchester for eight years.
Over that time I’ve worked with hundreds,
if not thousands of parents and health professionals.
Premature babies (from as early as 29 weeks).
Babies with additional needs, including Down’s syndrome and congenital heart conditions.
Parents who use wheelchairs and families adapting to different mobility needs.
Healthcare professionals, peer supporters, and community groups through training workshops.
If I haven’t seen your situation before,
I’ll know someone who has—and I’ll make sure you feel supported to wear your baby confidently and safely.
Additional Support I Offer
Back carrying and progressing to toddler carriers.
Tandem carrying (for twins or siblings).
Adjustments for comfort and posture.
Baby’s with wobbly heads
Babies that ‘don’t like’ slings
Guidance on choosing and buying a sling if you wish to purchase your own.
My Goal
To help you feel confident, supported, safe and connected through babywearing
—so carrying your baby becomes a joy, not a struggle.
