Babywearing consultant in Luxembourg

As a babywearing consultant, I can help you find the right way for you to carry your children with confort, safety and ease, through workshops and consultations in Luxembourg.

This is me carrying my one year old son on a front carry using a size 4 woven wrap.

Babywearing is (not only) an amazing parenting tool. It gives us the possibility to provide our children with what they need (contact, closeness, warmth) without losing our freedom (and our minds). And beyond the practical side, the practice of babywearing strengthens the bond with our children, and is empowering for us as parents since it allows us to better respond to their needs. Moreover, the closeness and the contact is calming for adults as well, the release of oxytocin makes both parent and child feel good and safe, they can listen to our heartbeats and we can feel their soft warmth against ourselves. It is truly a unique and rewarding experience.

Children need contact and want to be carried from the moment they are born, and this need persists well into their preschool years. When using ergonomic carriers and slings, we get to carry our children in a way that is comfortable, respectful and safe for both parts.

Every dyad of parent-baby is unique, and there is no such thing as a ‘perfect’ carrier. I offer different modalities in which I can help you find the right option for you and your family. All the modalities include:

The possibility of trying on different carriers from my sling library containing +30 different models of carriers including stretchy and woven wraps, ringslings, full- and half-buckle carriers and onbuhimos. For the soft-structured carriers I have adjustable models, baby, toddler, and preschool sizes.
A follow-up period in which you can send me photos and videos for me to do a fit-check and help out through email or WhatsApp.

Group workshops

These are general group workshop held at Centre Lunata, in Bertrange, Luxembourg. They are tailored for expecting parents and families with small children. Due to general demand the language of the language is normally english, but I will happily clarify in French or Spanish when needed.

On these two hour long workshop we:

Discover the bases of ergonomic babywearing
Learn the keys to carry your children in all safety
I will introduce the different types of carriers (stretchy and woven wraps, ringslings, and soft structured carriers) and explain their differences
Then I will demonstrate the utilisation of every type of carrier
And finally every parent will try on the carrier(s) of their choice, either with their own child or with a demo doll (or both!). I will help them, make small remarks, and give advice to improve the utilisation and increase the confort, get a good fit, etc.

Participants are also welcome to bring their own carriers, if they already have some, to try on during the practical part of the workshop.

These workshops are held every month or every two months during weekends. You can check the upcoming dates in the Events section.

Location: Centre Lunata (Bertrange, LU)
Duration: 2h
Date: weekends or weekdays, once a month — Check Events page
Language: English (French or Spanish upon request)

Family workshop

If you cannot make it to the upcoming group workshop, you can opt to have one privately! This is a general workshop destined to a pregnant couple, or a child with one or both of their parents. During this workshop I will explain the basis of ergonomic babywearing, introduce the different types of carriers (stretchy and woven wraps, ringslings, and soft-structured carriers) and demonstrate their use. Then you will be able to try them out, with your own baby or with a demo doll, to discover which are the ones that work best for you.
There is no age limit for the baby in this course — from newborn to preschoolers, the options shown and tried will be adapted to the age of the child. Parents are also welcome to bring carries of their own, if they have them, to make adjustments if necessary or to learn how to use them comfortably and safely. This is also a great choice for pregnant couples that want to try different carriers to decide which one they would like to buy before baby is born.

Location: Bettembourg, LU
Duration: approx 2h
Date: to be convened, on weekdays between 8:30 and 17:30
Language: English, French or Spanish

Back-carrying workshop

The only condition to attend this workshop is to have some previous babywearing experience.
This workshop is for you if your baby loves to be carried but you feel they might want to see more of the world, if they are getting too tall and blocking your vision when carried on the front, if you love to carry them but feel they are getting too heavy and you might want to switch to different weight distributions, or simply if you wish to have long walks in the forest, go for a hike, or do chores at home while your baby naps on the carrier with confort and ease!
During this workshop we will explore and get confident with back carrying your baby in the carrier of your choice. We will see different ways to put your baby on your back and to get them safely down, safety measures, and hacks and tweaks to improve comfort. Attendants are welcome to bring the carrier they normally use, but they are also invited to try out other options.
The semi-private workshops are organized on demand, with a minimum of two participants. You can contact me to set a date if you have friends that want to do the workshop with you, or we can set the date and I will publish it on the Events page so that other moms can join.

Location: Bettembourg, LU (semi-private) or Bertrange, LU (groups)
Duration: 2h
Date: check upcoming dates
Language: English (French or Spanish on demand)

Private consultation

I always loved trying different carries and finishes on the wrap.

These are classes where the focus is put into specific topics. It is really up to you: we will cover exactly the topics you are interested in. Some examples of private sessions could include:
– Woven wraps: to learn different carries (front, hip or back) or perfect your technique,
– Back carrying: a private back carry ‘boot camp’ to get you to feel comfortable carrying your kid on your back with any carrier,
– Perfect the use of a specific carrier that you already have, tweak and fix possible problems to maximize the confort
– Breasfeeding on a carrier: babywearing can help you to actually breasfeed “hands free” and on the go!
– Tandem carrying: for twins or two kids of different ages, learn different options to carry two at the same time!
– etc.,
They are meant for a single parent with their child. If the second parent wishes to come, the minimum duration of the session is of 1.5h.

Location: Bettembourg, LU or Bertrange, LU
Duration: min 1h for one parent, min 1.5h for two parents
Language: English, French or Spanish

Pregnancy Package

If you are currently pregnant, you might wonder if it is better to take the class before or after baby is born. If you can’t decide, I offer the possibility to take a package of two 2h private workshops: one to take before baby arrives to try all carriers and choose the one(s) that work best for you, and one after baby is born to perfect its use and adapt it to your own, real baby. The price for the package is 200 eur, and you have six months to take the second workshop (so you can also use it later on for other things, like learning how to back carry).

If you want to book any of the options listed above, go to the Events section to check out the upcoming group dates, or feel free to contact me to arrange a private.
