Consultancy Options and Prices
Every consultation will be unique, as each depends on the parents' needs and is designed by me with that particular family in mind. However, there are a number of circumstances in which parents may seek a consultation.
I offer a choice of 'Standard Consultation', 'Workshops' and 'Consultancy Packages'.
'Packages' include carrier hire from the available Library stock.
All packages can be purchased as a Gift Voucher. The 'Antenatal' and 'New Baby' Packages, in particular, make excellent and unusual presents for pregnant family, friends or colleagues.
Consultations will be arranged for a time that is mutually convenient, and can take place in either my home or elsewhere (although this may limit the number of carriers I can bring for you to look at).
STANDARD CONSULTATION (for those with some experience of babywearing)
£15 for up to 1 hour.
In this consultation, I will address any specific questions you have. Following a pre-consultation discussion, I will devise a session appropriate for the individual circumstances of your family. This may involve advising you of the best carrier for your circumstances, teaching you a new technique (e.g. a back carry), or helping you master a carrier you already own.
WORKSHOPS
Introduction to Babywearing Workshop (small group)
£5 per person; minimum of 4 attendees, maximum of 8; for up to 2 hours.
This is the perfect package for a group of friends who have a shared interest in discovering more about babywearing and types of carriers. I will provide a brief introduction to sling use and types. I will outline the principles and benefits of babywearing, discuss the safety guidelines, and explain the difference between many of the carriers in the Library stock and those readily available on the High Street. I will bring with me a variety of carriers, which can be examined and demoed during the session.
Anyone who goes on to book a standard consultation following attendance at a workshop will pay a discounted price of £10 and will further benefit from a 2 week loan from the available Library stock.
Introduction to Babywearing Workshop (large group)
Contact me for an individual quote.
This package is suitable for a larger group of parents who are interested in learning more about babywearing and different types of carriers. I will attend a location of your choosing (perhaps your local baby group) and provide a brief introduction to sling use and types. I will outline the principles and benefits of babywearing, discuss the safety guidelines, and explain the difference between many of the carriers in the Library stock and those readily available on the High Street.
