Studio Days

Babywearing Support & Local Hire

Scheduled babywearing support sessions at my Hastings, home studio. 

 

With baby no.2 arriving this autumn, I'm adapting how I work so I can continue working with local families while making space for family life too. 

From Oct 2026

I'm going to release a small number of studio workshops and sessions on a select date each month to keep supporting as many local parents as possible. It's an adapted way of working, relaxed, practical and friendly, with plenty of room for the normal reality of babies (including my own): feeds, changes, cuddles and the occasional wobble!
Need support but the date(s) below really don't work? Drop me an email.

Next studio days:
Mon 12th October
Tues 23rd November (tbc)

I'll be trialing all of this, with my newborn in tow as of November, so kindly ask for your patience, as I very much will be learning what works and doesn't as I go! The eventbrite booking system is completely new too so please email if you do have any issues :). Please note bookings will close 5 days ahead of the studio date listed. Booking T's and C's​​

Can I hire a sling/carrier only?

Yes! Sling hire will still be available.
£5 per item per week  | Max 4 weeks & 2 slings at any time - unless agreed otherwise in advance.
Hire collection will need to work around studio dates listed. 

Please see full conditions at the top of my booking form (button below)

​

Hiring is great if you're looking to:

  • Try a specific sling before buying

  • Borrow for a holiday or trip

  • Try babywearing for a particular stage

  • Have a sling for specific dates
     

If I can't offer you a specific sling I will offer alternatives. Need a particular sling or dates? Please plan ahead as I will try and make sure the right carrier is available for the nearest Studio Date.

​
 

Stretchy Wrap Starter Workshop​

£20 (4 family tickets available).
Up to 2 adults per family unit welcome - one person likely will be an observer / helper.

 

 

New to stretchy wrapping? 
Learn a straightforward, newborn-friendly stretchy-wrap carry in a small, relaxed group.
 

We'll cover:

  • How to put on your wrap (note that you really don't need to buy anything before your session; I have some lovely 2way-stretch ones for learning with - as these are most intuitive, so you can guage whether wrapping is for you, and can point you to where to buy after. If you have a wrap - bring it and we can look to work with it despite the stretch-type).

  • A standard newborn-friendly pocket carry

  • Positioning and safety checks

  • Spreading and tightening the passes

  • Common issues and troubleshooting

​

You'll practise with your own baby where possible.
Demo dolls are available for pregnant attendees or anyone who needs one. Opportunity for free photo fitcheck with baby post-session, you'll get some recap resources too.

 

Is this the right session for me?

  • Suitable during pregnancy and for babies in the early months (roughly up to 12 weeks). The session lasts around an hour, with plenty of flexibility for feeds, changes and cuddles. One person will do the practical hands-on learning. A second adult can attend and observe.​

  • This is a **practical small-group workshop**, ideal if you want to learn one useful stretchy-wrap carry without the cost of a full consultation.

  • If baby has additional needs i.e premature, or you have additional considerations such as mobility issues, you have several questions, multiple carriers/carries, more than one wearer needing hands-on help, or need more personalised support, a Full Consultation will be a better fit.

  • The workshop will go ahead whatever the number, with the content and scope adjusted slightly to suit and keep your session more affordable.

Small Sling Clinic Social​


£10 (max 4 families - 1 adult & 1 baby)
Short focused sling social, Sit and chat with others while you wait.

 

Using a sling or carrier but something isn't quite working? Bring it along and we'll tweak things as needed, I'll talk through the what we're doing and whys as we go.

​

This may include​:

  • Comfort or fit adjustments

  • Baby's positioning

  • Checking you've got the basics right

  • Understanding how to adjust your carrier

​

Please arrive with your carrier on and baby in to make the most of your session time. I'll work with your existing carrier where it can be used safely and appropriately. If your carrier isn't suitable or your question needs more time, I'll explain why and recommend the most appropriate next step.

​

Please note

This is a **quick, focused check**, not a full consultation. It's not suitable for sling shopping, learning several carries or troubleshooting multiple issues. If you/baby have other additional health or medical needs we'll cover what we can, but a more in-depth consultation will likely be a better fit.

​

Sling Taster Workshop


£30 (3 family tickets available).
Up to 2 adults per family unit welcome - one person likely will be an observer / helper.

 

 

New to slings?

  • We'll look at the main sling types and sub-categories within them

  • Talk about the pros, cons / things to consider when choosing between them (and brands)

  • Look at how different slings can be adjusted

  • As a group, we'll try out different options and see how they feel
     

Is this the right session for me?

  • Perfect if you're new to babywearing but aren't sure where to start, or if you want to explore your options before booking or committing to individual support.​​

  • This is an exploratory group session rather than a 1-1 fittings.
    If you have a particular problem to solve, would like help with a specific sling, or have several questions you'd like to work through, Quick Support, a Full Consultation or the Sling Clinic may be a better fit.

  • The workshop will go ahead whatever the number, with the content and scope adjusted slightly to suit and keep your session more affordable.

Let's break it down

1. Dates are released in advance

I'll announce the next Studio Day approximately a month ahead.
 

2. Book the session that's right for you

You can book a workshop, clinic or consultation depending on the support you need. (Via Eventbrite)
Please note bookings will close 5 days in advance.
 

3. Your place is confirmed once payment is received

Bookings are reservations, with payment needed to secure within 24hrs to secure. Info in confirmation email. This keep the system simple & minimises my comms.
 

4. Come along and we'll take it from there

Bring your sling, bump or baby plus any questions you'd like help with.

And don't worry if your little one needs feeding, changing or settling during the session, that's very much part of babywearing life!

 

​I'm starting with one Studio Day a month and will see how it works for local families and for family life.

If demand is good and the format works well, I hope to increase this to two Studio Days a month in the new year.​

Dates will always be published here first.
