About

Northern Ireland's most experienced babywearing consultant

I've been supporting families across Northern Ireland with babywearing for over 18 years. What started as a passion became a profession — and for the last 15 years I've been running Babywearing NI as a community resource, a sling library, and a trusted source of expert advice.

Whether you're a first-time parent wondering where to start, or an experienced babywearer looking to try something new — I'm here to help you find the right carrier, wear it safely, and carry your baby with confidence.

Kind words

What families say

I had no idea where to start with babywearing. The meetup was so welcoming — I left feeling completely confident and hired a carrier that same day. Can't recommend enough.

The one-to-one consultation was worth every penny. Having someone with real qualifications show me exactly what to do — and correct my positioning — made all the difference.

Rachel K.

We'd been babywearing wrong for months without realising. The free meetup spotted it immediately and sorted it out. 15 years of experience shows — you're in safe hands.
