Babywearing is the art of using a carrier to carry a child on your body, and it is an essential tool for any active parent. I specialize in teaching people about traditionally-based carriers such as wraps, mei tais, podaegis, buckle carriers and ring slings.
What I offer in my courses:
- Clear, concise descriptions of the carriers, which includes an outline of major design features.
- A comparative analysis of the carriers available on the market today, both in Ottawa and on the Internet. Parents in my classes also get to test and try the carriers themselves. Some carrier differences include fabric type, strap design, width, sewing techniques and length.
- An honest discussion about how long a carrier will actually be used, including its advantages and its drawbacks.
- An examination of carrier cost, including where to buy them in Ottawa and what to expect on second hand markets.
- How to check for carrier safety.
- During practice, we discuss tips and tricks to help parents achieve optimal positioning, with active babywearing emphasized to maximize the babywearing experience.

Reiki is a holistic healing therapy, making it a great complement to any health therapies you are currently undergoing at this time. It works by accessing what is known as universal energy, present in all living things, and this energy can help you move through your own personal healing journey, be it spiritual, physical and / or emotional.
