We are Austin's local,
In-person babywearing support!

Babywearing looks different at every stage.

 

It's skin to skin closeness and nervous system regulation in the newborn days.

 

It's getting things done without putting baby down during the fourth trimester.

 

It's a toddler on your back saying yes to adventures you wouldn't have attempted otherwise.

 

You already know babywearing is a thing, and I'm here to help you figure it all out.

I help with babywearing at every stage

It starts in those early newborn days when your baby wants nothing more than to be held close, curled up warm against your chest the same way they spent the last nine months in the womb. It grows into the fourth trimester when you desperately need your hands back but they refuse to be put down. And it keeps going, longer than most people expect, into the toddler years when having your little one on your back means saying yes to the hike, yes to the busy Saturday, yes to the adventure.

Babywearing is one of the most biologically natural things you can do for your baby. It regulates their nervous system and yours, supports healthy development, and keeps you connected through every stage of that first wild year and beyond.

 

The hard part isn't the concept. The hard part is the overwhelming sea of carriers, buckles, wraps, and opinions waiting for you on the other side of a Google search. That's where I come in.

How I Can Help

Whether you're pregnant and trying to figure out what to even register for, brand new to babywearing and not sure where to start, or you have a carrier sitting in a box because it never quite felt right, there is support available for every situation.

1:1 In-Home Support

We'll start by talking through what's going on for you and your baby. We'll troubleshoot your carriers so you can use what you already have with confidence, and we'll explore carriers from my library so you can experience options without having to buy a dozen carriers yourself. We'll practice together until you feel confident, comfortable, and capable, in your own home, judgment free.

Babywearing Friends' Gathering

If you learn better with your people around, this one is for you. Gather a few friends who are in the same season of life, pick a living room, and I'll come to you for a private group class. You'll all leave with real hands on practice, a skill that will genuinely change your daily life, and probably a lot of good laughs along the way. Babywearing was never meant to be figured out alone, and this is the most fun way to learn it.

Classes & Events

Sometimes the best way to learn something new is alongside other people who are figuring it out at the same time. I offer classes around Austin and the surrounding cities so there's likely something near you. Whether you're expecting your first baby or ready to tackle back carrying for the first time, there's a class for where you are right now. Browse the events calendar to see what's coming up and save your spot.
