Your Consultation Experience
Explore Your Options
In a consultation you will have the opportunity to try on several different types of carriers in the Australian market. You will have access to my full demonstration kit of buckle carriers, wraps and slings. We will spend time learning about safe babywearing, optimal positioning, ergonomics and healthy hip development.
Tailored to You
The session is tailored to you and your family’s unique needs. You may already have carriers or wraps which I can guide you to learn to use skilfully. I will also ensure you are confident in using the different features your carrier has and adapting the fit as your baby grows.
Find Your Right Fit
If you are seeing me before you have acquired any carriers or slings (that’s awesome and ideal!) you will have the chance to learn about the different types of carriers. Trying carriers on and understanding the differences will help guide you to a choice that is truly suited to your individual needs.
Learn By Doing
Once we have determined our goals for our time together we will dive in to the practical aspect of learning to use the carrying tools well. In this portion of our consultation we will be focussed on the learning the skill of babywearing. You will have access to my industry grade and purpose made demonstration dolls. These dolls are made for teaching, they are weighted and jointed. We will begin by using the dolls to learn the steps involved in getting a good fit in the carrier we are working with. Once you’re ready we will move to welcoming baby into the prepared carrier and you can have a real understanding for what your babywearing will feel like in the carrying tool of your choice.
Leave Feeling Confident
At the end of your consultation you should feel confident using the carrier of your choice, feel prepared to keep practising wearing your baby at home and have full reassurance in your ability to check on your baby in the carrier or sling and know that they are snug and safe. You can finally enjoy babywearing, and keep responding to your baby whilst freeing up your hands and getting on with life!

What Clients Are Saying
What Clients Are Saying
I knew when I was pregnant that I wanted us to have a consult with Sarah once my baby was born. It was such a great decision. Sarah came to our house in our early weeks postpartum and supported us through education and hands-on teaching on how to use our three different carriers/wraps. It was a big learning curve initially, but I've now worn my baby every day since and haven't looked back.
I could not recommend Sarah more highly. She helped me try on different carrier, fitted them to me and my son, so I could see what I did and didn't like about each until I found my perfect fit. After not being super comfortable baby wearing my first, this baby is in the new carrier every day. Sarah gave me so much confidence in my choice and how to trouble shoot when something didn't feel right. I love my new carrier and the freedom it's given me.
Sophie Wadden
Sarah came directly to our home when I was five weeks postpartum, and the consultation was simply incredible. She patiently walked both my husband and me through using a ring sling from scratch. Sarah taught us how to put it on correctly, achieve the right ergonomic fit, and perform quick safety audits every time to ensure our baby was completely secure and comfortable.

She is passionate, precise and professional. She takes the time and care to ensure you too are educated on safe carrying and most importantly feeling confident and comfortable in carrying your baby. Being able to babywear my children really helped with my postpartum journey and kept me close but still mobile to all my children. Babywearing has become one of my favourite things in my postpartum journey and I have Sarah to thank for that.
