I can do remote sessions too, you can get in touch to discuss your needs :)

Why babywearing?

An incredible parenting tool

As a parent myself, I have experienced the ups and downs parenting brings, and know first-hand what an incredible tool babywearing is. It can be for you too.Here are some of the reasons I personally love babywearing:
Freedom: there is always a comfortable place for baby wherever you want to go (and whenever!).
Getting things done: baby doesn't want to be alone while there's washing up to do, no problem!
Confidence in parenting skills: being able to soothe your baby quickly and keep them safe is a big win.
Encourages baby's development: boosts parent-child attachment, helps with proper hip and spine development and more!
Doesn't stop with babyhood: whether my toddler is tired, sick, wants some cuddles or just some fun, babywearing is often a perfect tool to have in the bag.And these are just a handful of the amazing benefits babywearing brings!

What do I offer?

Dedicated babywearing sessions

Tailored guidance: You'll receive 1-on-1 attention. It's just you (and your partner), me, and your little one, finding the perfect fit and style to suit your babywearing needs and preferences.Equipped studio: My babywearing studio is a dedicated and comfortable space for you and your family to practicing babywearing. I have a wide range of carriers and slings for you to try out. The studio is a 2 minute walk from the Mannheim Central Station.Safety and confidence: Your baby's safety is my top priority. I provide easy-to-follow instructions and patient guidance, ensuring you feel confident and your baby is secure at all times.English language: As an English-speaking mum in Germany, I know how it can be hard to find help in English. Since it is my native language, I prefer to run my consultations in English (although I do speak German too 🙂).
