consult options
Consults can cover anything really I've included ideal scenarios for all options below! But to summarise we could look to find you a new or preloved carrier that will really work for you, I can teach you a new skill such as learning how to tie and use a Ring Sling, or getting to grips with hip or back carries, to more simple things such as troubleshooting, fitting, or learning how to feed your baby in the carrier.
Please Note travel & time fees will be added to the below appointment fees if outside the Hastings / St Leonards area.
standard consult
Mission
my space or yours
From £35 (location depending)
Best suited once babies are over 12 weeks old `
(normal or corrected age)
These 1:1 appointments are approximately 1 hour long, with flexibility to allow for those baby things that come up (feeding / changing etc) Consults are perfect if you're unsure what you're after, you'd like to look at a range of carriers and learn all about your options, or troubleshoot up to two existing carriers. For newborns or to cover a few things I'd suggest booking an extended consult for more time. After the appointment I will always send recap materials to help you continue where we left off.
​
With a standard consult booking you can hire one sling of choice free for 2 days, or a discounted fee of £5 a week, 3 extra weeks max.

Fit & Hire MINI consult
quick support
From £15 To take place at mine
or very local home visits – a 10 min or less drive!
1:1 appointments up to 30 mins together.
Compare two pre-selected carriers before choosing one to fit with baby fully, then hire. This way you will know how the carrier has been adjusted, and how it should feel when worn correctly, before going off into the wild! To fully fit both it'd be an additional £10.
This style of appointment is also an option if you just need quick support such as a fitcheck and can't make library slots (see Thrifty Thursdays)
Hire priced at an additional £6 per week.

Extended consult
when you need more time
From £55 (location depending)
A 1:1 appointment to allow for up to 2 hours of my time.
Can take place in my space or yours. Perfect for newborns, or if you'd like to do achieve a few things, such as looking as trying a few different structured carriers, and learning how to then tie a stretchy wrap too. Or if you want to master something a bit different like back carrying, tying a woven wrap or ring sling.
​
If we can cover everything in an hour I'll simply charge my standard consult fee instead. With this package I'll include on week's free hire, and subsequent weeks charged at a discounted fee of £5
(3 weeks max extra) See my Hiring T's and C's for more info.
Antenatal package
Mission
get confident carrying
from the get go
From £70 (location depending)
Two home visit appointments approx 1.5 hrs each.
One during pregnancy, and one once baby is here.
Appointment 1: We will start with the basics covering the benefits of babywearing, we will then look at learning how to use a two-way stretchy wrap safely & comfortably in-time for when baby is here - so you can get wrapping right from birth (provided there are no medical concerns)! Within this we will cover a few different ways to tie, and even feed your baby so you can be really confident, and use what works well for you. Hire a wrap for free for two weeks.
Appointment 2: Once baby (or multiples!) are earth-side I can pop round for a recap / or just to check fit. We can also explore some other carrier options to compliment your wrap once baby is bigger.
