A private consultation is the best way of accessing truly personalised advice, teaching and recommendations. Perfect for anyone who;
- is new to babywearing
- is unsure of what might be the best option for them
- is feeling overwhelmed by choice
- has been gifted slings or carriers but are not confident using them
- wishing to learn to back carry for the first time
- looking to explore options for carrying twins or multiples
- has additional needs or circumstances that may affect carrying (severe back pain, reduced mobility, or a child who has additional needs such as low muscle tone, low birth weight, reflux, hip dysplasia, talpedes etc).
Your session will be designed completely around you, meaning we will focus in on the options relevant to you and go at a pace that suits you and your baby's needs ensuring that you leave completely confident using whatever you choose going forward.
Where, When and Cost
Your consultation can take place in your home or mine at any mutually agreeable time, weekends or weekdays during school hours.
A consult in my home in East Sheen (SW14 7HU) costs £25 for the first 30 minutes, then £10 for every additional 15 minutes. Allowing you to simply pay for the time you need on the day. E.g. if you need 45 minutes then you pay £35, while 1 hour would cost £45. A consultation can last anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes depending on your needs. Based on the information you provide at booking I will provide a realistic estimation of the time you are likely to need. As a guide most consultations for parents new to carrying take roughly 60-90 minutes depending on confidence level and number of options explored. While a consultation for parents with a preexisting sling or carrier looking to gain confidence using that carrier might take just 30 minutes.
A consult in your home costs £75 for 90 minutes (upto 2 hours to allow time in case baby needs a break for a feed, a change or for comforting). This includes travel to anywhere within a 30-40 minute drive of East Sheen (as shown in the map at the bottom of this page). So this includes all of the London Boroughs of Richmond, Hounslow, and Wandsworth, the Royal Boroughs of Kingston and Kensington and Chelsea, much of Ealing, Hillingdon, Merton, and Elmbridge Surrey. If you live further afield please feel able to ask - I may be able to travel to you, offer you an online consult or better still I maybe able to put you in touch with another sling consultant closer to you.
