Ashley was wonderful to work with. She has such a warm, friendly energy and you can immediately tell how passionate she is about babywearing and making it approachable for parents. I booked an in-home session to learn how to use my ring sling after months of feeling intimidated by it despite watching countless tutorials. Ashley explained everything in a way that finally clicked for me and helped break through the mental block I had around using it. I left feeling so much more confident and excited to practice until it becomes muscle memory. She’s a great communicator, educator, and overall such a supportive presence. I would absolutely work with her again.

Stretchy Wrap Session:

Working with Ashley to use my Moby Wrap with my almost 3 month old was wonderful! She is incredibly patient when working with a not so cooperative baby and even helped calm him down with her calm and joyful demeanor and sing along songs which he loved! Being a first time mom and learning how to use wraps for newborns isn’t always intuitive yet Ashley made it super simple with step by step instructions and always checking in with each step to make sure I understood how the wrap should feel and look. She has built my confidence so much through this baby wearing journey and I couldn’t be more grateful! 

Sprout Session:

After getting my Hope and Plum Sprout carrier I was eager to have Ashley help me fit it properly since I have never used an apron style carrier before. Once again, Ashley led the session with patience and reassurance since I am not the most coordinated person while also wrangling my 3 1/2 month old as well. She helped me really understand how the carrier should fit and boosted my confidence in wearing it day to day by sharing her experiences in wearing her carriers and how they helped her gain more independence in her everyday routines while also caring for her baby. I am super grateful for how supportive she has been and how much of an asset her program is for moms with babies and toddlers of all ages! 

I was very apprehensive regarding baby wearing. I’m extremely anxious at baseline, and postpartum only amplified it. Ashley explained different kinds of carriers without pushing me into one that would make me uncomfortable. She helped me pick the carrier that is perfect for me and my baby boy. She showed me exactly how to wear it and how to keep both of us comfortable. I broke my ankle while pregnant so pacing with my baby was hard. She opened up a whole new world, I can sway with him during “the witching hour” without straining my ankle. I also feel empowered to work around the house and go to stores alone with him because I know he’s safe in his carrier. Ashley is extremely communicative, kind, and knowledgeable. 

Ashley was incredibly thorough in helping me figure out a ring sling. She was hands on with helping me set up the sling, put my baby in, and also gave real time visual instruction with her own demonstration doll. The entire fitting was no pressure and completely supportive. I loved being able to check in a few days later with trouble shooting questions and still have that lesson continue.

As a first time dad I’ve never worn a baby much less held one for more than a few minutes. Carrying bub around with one arm was challenging as a newborn but exhausting now at 6 months. Wearing him gives me the ability be a productive human again while also helping him relax and get a good nap. Ashley’s instruction was very helpful and informative, will definitely be asking her for more help as he grows!

Wonderful refresher lesson for this second time mama!
