Tailored Sling Fitting and Babywearing
Support across Hastings & East Sussex
Support that fits your pace — my studio + home visits
With every babywearing session, you can always bring an extra pair of hands along to help with your little one.
No matter the fee (budget or more premium) I always give wrap-around sling support. From email advice, sending you recap resources, and free photo fitchecks, to help you to continue carrying confidently once I'm not there!​

In-depth look at things with sling(s)
Discover & Learn Babywearing Sessions
£25 - £55 studio | £40 - £65 home visit (plus travel)
Max 2 wearers – same baby (multiples)
A flexible, tailored babywearing session designed around your needs, from never carried before, to mastering something new.
-
Examples of what we can cover:
- More than a fitcheck - covering one sling in detail (set-up / how it works as baby grows, maybe positions it does with demos).
-
With all sessions step-by-step demo, some doll practice if helpful, then hands-on practice with your baby (usually 2–4 goes) plus safety, positioning, technique, and confidence-building throughout
-
More time / repetition
- Trying 1–4 slings (focusing on one position) with one tying style included (for two tying styles of if you wish to explore / learn various positions with the carrier we'll be at the higher end of the pricing spectrum) These slings can be from my library or you own (just let me know what you're bringing so we can consider developmental appropriateness)​
- Something a little different like tandem carrying - or looking at learning more than one woven wrap carry.
-
Feeding in your sling can be added to any session for +£5.

Antenatal
Mission
Carrying prep sorted before baby arrives
These sessions are information-based — great for:
-
learning the basics
-
seeing different sling styles
-
asking general questions
They’re not designed for in-depth fitting or extended hands-on practice.
Bump to Baby Package
If you’d really the chance to try carriers properly before your baby arrives this package is perfect.
​
£70-£90 (plus travel) (50% deposit to secure sessions)
2 sessions – Designed to support you both before and after birth, so you feel super confident in your choices rather than rushed.
​
Appointment 1: Antenatal – typically 1-1.5 hours
£35 at mine / from £45 at yours (plus travel)
Before the session, I’ll share a helpful blog post 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.
-
During the session we can:
-
Talk through why certain styles work particularly well for newborns
-
Do a brief overview and demo of different options
-
Narrow things down and try up to 3 contrasting carriers
-
Look at any slings you already own, if you’d like advice on those
-
The aim is to help you make informed, confident choices — without pressure.
-
​
Appointment 2 – typically 1-1.5 hours
from £35 at mine. Up to £55 at yours depending on how much we cover (plus travel)
-
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
-
Explore an additional option if you’d like something to compare or complement
-
​
Free Sling Hire
-
Each session includes 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, I’d always suggest going with newborn-specialist or consultant-recommended options, rather than something simply marketed as “newborn/toddler”.
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
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.
Travel Fees explained
*always free of charge if under a 10 min drive from mine / not a budget session.
Otherwise 45p mile (both ways / return journey).
Carrier Hire
Depending on your booking type – Hire only/ budget, longer session, package etc costs per week will vary.
T's and C's here.
Paying for your session with me
Deposit to secure bookings
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required when booking. This covers planning time for your session and guarantees your slot. The remaining balance is invoiced on the day, once our session is complete—this flexibility works well as timings can vary, especially when working around little ones. 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.
Gift Vouchers - Just Message to arrange
A sling consultation really does make for such a lovely present – a thoughtful and both practical gift. Whether it’s for a newborn parent or someone exploring carrier hire options, my sessions provide support, confidence, and solutions to common babywearing challenges, that a parent will likely value for years to come.
Concessions
I do sometimes offer customer referral discounts, and if you really are struggling financially there's a CIC who can assist with carrier and consultation costs -https://www.buildingbonds.org.uk/
