Babywearing
Consultations
I, Kim, a fully insured, qualified and experienced babywearing consultant, am available to teach and support you everything you need to know when selecting the right baby carrier or sling for your family and needs, here in the beautiful city of Well, Somerset. I will help you carry your baby or child safely and show you how to carry them comfortably and with confidence. I have over 8 years experience carrying my own children and supporting others to carry theirs. I’d love to help you to carry yours too.
I offer 1:1 babywearing consultations from a dedicated space in our shop space at 8 High Street, Wells, Somerset during opening hours. If you would rather I came to your home, this can be arranged on request at an additional cost of £10 for travel within 30 minutes of Wells, Somerset.
Prior to our 1:1 consultation please let me know any information you feel might be helpful to your appointment. Things such as any carrying experience, age and stage of baby, any complications with birth (if person carrying is birth parent), any disabilities or other information you feel is relevant.
