In Depth Session
For Learning / Discovery
LITTLE ONE SNUG HQ OR YOURS
TYPICALLY 1-2 HOURS
Mission
Completely at yours and baby's pace
Studio £35 - £55 / Location: Little One Snug HQ – For Home Visits Add-on £10 and travel distance fee at 45p per mile (return journey) – To additionally cover feeding in the sling add-on £5. – Hire of a sling x 1 week is free Additional sling @ £5 one week, need longer, just ask! With all sessions you'll get step-by-step demo, some doll practice to help build confidence, then some hands-on practice with your baby. We'll always cover safety, positioning, techniques, tips & tricks, and more. Examples of what we can cover in a longer session: – More time / repetition doing things! – never carried before, want to understand my sling much better / try other options / consider what next. You want to look at something a little different perhaps – tandem carrying, back carrying a younger child, or learning more than one woven wrap carry. The more detail you pop on the booking form of what you wish to cover the more accuarately I'll be able to quote you.
Antenatal Freebies
Mission
Carrying prep sorted before baby arrives
These sessions are information-based — great for:
-
learning about safety & benefits of carrying
-
seeing and learning about different sling styles
-
asking general questions
They’re not designed for fitting your sling / hands-on practice, whereas my BUMP TO BABY PACKAGE (below) is!
Bump to Baby Package
LITTLE ONE SNUG HQ OR YOURS
If you’d like to know how to really use a carrier or two (yours or from my library) then this package is perfect.
£65-£85 (plus travel) (50% deposit to secure sessions)
2 sessions – one before, and one after birth, so you feel super confident and really informed early on.
Appointment 1: Antenatal typically 1-1.5 hours – £30 at mine / from £40 at yours (plus travel) – Before the session, I’ll share some useful resources to help you think about what might suit you best when it comes to newborn slings. If anything stands out, let me know on the booking form and I can tailor the session around that. If you are very unsure I'd suggest we start with covering a 2way stretchy wrap (guranteed fit) and maybe comparing it with a simple clippy one. – We'll do a brief overview and I'll demo first, either pre-selected slings or one's you're bringing, – The aim is to help you make informed, confident choices — without pressure, by the end you'll have an understanding of what safe looks like, and how to use your sling. Appointment 2 typically 1-1.5 hours. £35 at mine (plus £10 and travel if at yours) Once your baby is earthside, we’ll: – Recap key points from the antenatal session – Check fit and comfort with your newborn – Make any adjustments needed - Talk about what next, __________ Free Sling Hire All longer sessions include 1 week’s free sling hire, giving you the chance to properly try something before committing. If you do feel you need to buy before your baby arrives, because you'd like to get carrying then ASAP then I’d always suggest going with newborn-specialist or consultant-recommended options, rather than something simply marketed as “newborn/toddler”.
On-going support package

Group Sessions
split the costs
Priced from £55 for a 2:1
(location depending /max party of 4 )
Shared babywearing consultations work best when your babies are a similar age and you're happy to explore the same slings — shared hires are also an option.
It’s a fun, cost-effective way to learn together! Stretchy wrap sessions with a friend work really well, and I’ve also run successful joint sessions for back carrying and ring sling support.
Virtual Online Consult
perfect if my in-person travel
appointments aren't a viable option
Prices from £10-55 depending on what you're after.
Live further away, can't get to me or Home visits out of budget, yet you still would like babywearing support? A virtual consultation over Zoom may be a great fit—let’s chat and see if it suits your needs. Postal sling hire can also be available if you’d like to try something remotely —£15 for two weeks, plus tracked return via a specified courier.
Little One Snug – Studio Space
Perfectly equipped for consults
My studio is in the Clive Vale area of Hastings. Will send full address on booking. Large mirrors, so you can see exactly what we're doing and why. Comfortable space, ground floor level, access to all my slings!
I can leave my driveway free for you to park on if wanted :) The house being a Victorian build does have a narrow entrance hallway - so if you are planning on bringing in a buggy you may find that you need to collapse or leave out the front.
With every babywearing session, you can always bring an extra pair of hands along to help with your little one. No matter the session fee I always give wrap-around sling support. From email advice, sending you recap resources such as video tutorials, offering free photo fitchecks, so you can continue carrying confidently once I'm not there!
Not out of hospital, but want support?
Speak with your healthcare team - I have supported premature babies previously at the Conquest. Cost: similar rates to Longer Home Visit Sessions!

Paying for your session with me
Deposit to secure bookings
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required when booking. This goes towards your session, covers planning time and secures your slot. The remaining balance is invoiced on the day, once our session is finished. I will happily offer x2 free reschedules (I do ask for as much notice as possible, but understand things come up so any-less than 48hrs will be looked at on a case-by-case basis) - for outright cancellations there will be no refund.
