Babywearing helps you keep your baby close, and your hands free.
I help caregivers choose the baby carrier that is right for them, and feel confident using it.
I help caregivers choose the baby carrier that is right for them, and feel confident using it.
I come right to your home or preferred location. I bring a variety of baby carriers, and multiple weighted babywearing demo dolls for you to practice with if you wish. After our consult, I will be available to you through text or private message - or at a babywearing meet up - for as long as you need guidance. You will also receive the password to view my videos for the carries you learned - available for you to watch as often as necessary!
Perfect for a couple or individual who already has a specific carrier on hand, and just needs to know how to use it. Also a good option for someone who has already done some babywearing, and is looking to tweak or troubleshoot.
Learn about the different types of baby carriers, and let Chrissy help you choose the style that's best for your babywearing needs. You will leave this session feeling comfortable using your chosen carrier, wrap, or sling. Ideal for an individual or a couple.
Everything in the 1 Hour Session, plus two more sessions to help you learn additional carries, and/or to become comfortable with multiple types of baby carriers, wraps, and ring slings . Perfect for someone who eventually wants to learn how to carry their baby on their back, for example.
Do you have a group of friends who all want to know more about babywearing? Learn about the different types of baby carriers, try out a few different carries, let Chrissy help you choose the style that's best for your needs, and get to hang out with your friends! This session is ideal for 3 - 8 people.
I live in Kitscoty, but commute to Marwayne and Lloydminster multiple times each week. Complimentary mileage included for babywearing consults within my homebase area, and between these communities along Hwy 897 and Hwy 16.
I'll gladly make arrangements to travel to bring babywearing to communities outside of my home base.
I won't charge mileage to meet in a community I'm planning to be visiting anyway, so don't hesitate to ask - maybe I'm planning to come your way soon!
I visit Stony Plain, AB and Paradise Hill, SK multiple times each year, for example.
Meet with me online through Zoom. All you need is a stable internet connection, and a webcam. If you don't have a computer/webcam, then a smartphone or tablet will do the trick in a pinch. It is best if you have a baby carrier, wrap, or ring sling on hand to use. After our consult, I will be available to you through text or private message for as long as you need guidance.

Are you interested in trying a baby carrier for a while to help you decide which style is right for you? Would you like to borrow a specific style of carrier for your next vacation? Maybe you've always wanted to try a particular style of carrier, but don't want to commit to the pricetag of buying a new one just yet. Do you live in or around Lloydminster, Marwayne, or Kitscoty? Then our lending library is right for you!
Try ANY (or every!) baby carrier in our library for up to two weeks at a time, one carrier at a time. Feel free to borrow a ring sling, wrap, or carrier on multiple occasions for your babywearing needs!
Have only one particular baby carrier in mind that you want to try? Borrow a single item once for up to two weeks.
In order to ensure that carriers are returned in good condition, and in a timely manner, we will collect a FULLY REFUNDABLE deposit for each borrow. Deposit amount depends on the retail cost of the baby carrier you are borrowing. When you return the carrier, you'll get your deposit back in full. If you do not return the carrier, return a badly damaged carrier, or don't return the carrier for a long time, then we may keep some or all of your deposit.
Baby carriers need to be replaced over time - particularly when they are being used often by multiple babywearers. ALL lending fees will be used to add additional carriers, wraps, and ring slings to improve the library for our babywearing community, and to replace old carriers as they need to be retired.
Contact Chrissy directly to organize a babywearing workshop for your group, and to discuss rates, and mileage.
Learn about the benefits of babywearing, clear up some common misconceptions, see a variety of carriers in action, and try pieces from our lending library.
This workshop is designed for parents and caregivers with some babywearing experience, who are looking to move babe to their back. Specifics will depend on participant needs, but this workshop will likely cover a few different methods for moving baby to your back, how to do a basic ruck, and a back carry in a SSC and/or Meh Dai baby carrier. You will also learn how to get babe down OFF your back.
Would you like to explore the versatility of your woven wrap? This workshop will depend on participant needs, but may include adjustments to the FWCC, how to do a slipknot hip carry, Tibetan finish in a ruck, double hammock back carry, or a variety of other woven wrap carries. If time and participant interest allow for it, we might even explore some fancy finishes!
Hi I’m Chrissy - great to have you here!
My husband and I are doing our best to raise two strong-willed, adventure-seeking, and fun-loving daughters. I'm also a long-time dog mama to two large, aging rescue mutts. Some days are more challenging than others, but I can usually find humour in the chaos. My heart is full, and babywearing helps to make it so that my hands don't always have to be.
In addition to being a mama, I'm also a high school English Language Arts teacher, a yoga and fitness instructor, and a babywearing consultant. I love to read, stay active, learn new things about the human body, and eat delicious food. I'm a sports fan, a feminist, and a "maker," but mostly I'm just trying to be a good human.

I‘ve been babywearing since my oldest daughter was just a few days old, and it has improved my life immeasurably. She was a rather challenging baby, and loved me SO MUCH that she wanted to be attached to me 24-7. Because of babywearing, I’ve been able to stay active during the postpartum period, take my dogs for long walks, prepare dinner
I‘ve been babywearing since my oldest daughter was just a few days old, and it has improved my life immeasurably. She was a rather challenging baby, and loved me SO MUCH that she wanted to be attached to me 24-7. Because of babywearing, I’ve been able to stay active during the postpartum period, take my dogs for long walks, prepare dinner, and manage household chores, all while keeping my babies close and my hands free. I have even been able to enjoy concerts and sporting events that I might otherwise have missed. I’m so thankful for how babywearing has improved my parenting life, and I can't imagine parenting without it.
In 2019 I completed the 10 week Foundations Certified Consultant Training with the Center for Babywearing Studies (www.cbws.org). This training includes over 30 hours of live instruction, weekly educational videos and homework, research and evidence based information and safety standards, and a stringent written and practical exam. This babywearing consultant course is extremely thorough, and my training has given me the tools, expertise, and confidence to share my knowledge with clients either in person or online.
I am excited to safely share the life-changing benefits of babywearing with other parents and caregivers like you!

4 Basic Styles of Baby Carriers, and some general information about each.
There is NO style that is inherently better than any other; they all have various traits, and some might appeal to you more than others.
Which style is right for you? Maybe you want to have all of them!
*note* - I do not show the stretchy wrap style here, but stay tuned for a video that shows that style more fully. Coming soon!
