Often we either have minimal to no knowledge of the art of babywearing or we choose to purchase a carrier and struggle to get the desired outcome. This could be due to the carrier itself, but sometimes we forget that education plays a huge role.
I encourage you to not only invest in the carrier that suits you but to also invest in equipping yourself with the knowledge to use it. With detailed skill transfer being at the forefront of my work I ensure that we will wrap up your consult feeling comfortable and confident in your carrier of choice and ability to fully utilize it.
As a babywearing educator and consultant, I’m here to support and guide you on your babywearing journey. With four packages available there is something for everyone. To schedule time with me please reach out via email at chelseinman@yahoo.com or connect with me on Instagram @thefatblackeducator
