NURSERY CONSULTING
Get set to welcome your baby home to the most nurturing space possible
Feeling a little overwhelmed with everything? Whether your family is growing for the first time (or 2nd or 3rd), preparing for the newest little one can be a lot. Whether you’re looking for someone to offload the project too, or just need help getting things put away in an organized way, I can help!
Whether it’s help handling the gifts, washing all those adorable baby clothes, organizing and putting things away, assembling products, setting up baby monitors and tech, I’ve done it and am happy to help!
Customized Virtual Support
Phone or virtual support with creating or reviewing your gift registry, along with advice on purchasing options for any remaining items, taking into account any gear you may already possess.
Amazing Nursery help
2-8 hours of consulting, during which we can help with putting things away, organizing, baby laundry, and making suggestions for things that might be helpful. This may also involve handling returns and exchanges, or assembling baby gear.
BABYWEARING CONSUlting
Babywearing Basics Session (1.5 hours)
I'll help you find the best fit! I will bring with me a variety of carriers and you can try them all on and see what feels right. We'll discuss your goals (like comfort, feeding on the go, ease, etc) and help you select the best carrier for your growing family.
Mini Session (30 minutes)
Got a carrier but not confident how to use it? I can help! This session is ideal for those seeking assistance with their own carrier.
Babywearing is an ancient practice seen around the world with so many modern options! I love babywearing and am so excited to support your journey through this process.
In addition to the practical convenience of being able to move around hands-free, babywearing nurtures a strong emotional bond between parent and child, promoting secure attachment and bonding. Modern studies confirm what generations have instinctively known — that the physical closeness, warmth, and rhythmic motion of babywearing have a positive impact on an infant's physical and emotional development.

Important reminders
Birth-work is a fluid and flexible lifestyle which means that the first week of services will likely look different than the planned schedule due to the spontaneous nature of birth and the unpredictable day you will come home from the birth facility. Additionally, as long as minimum hours are being met, the exact days and times can be flexible to fit the weekly individual needs of your family.
