set a time to view and try on any carrier featured on the site. Your appointment

Baby Carrier Classes: Held monthly in Napa. Classes are 90 minutes long and will introduce you to the benefits of babywearing, the different types of carriers, and how to choose and use the carriers that are right for you and your family. You will also have the opportunity to try on different types of carriers for yourself and to buy carriers as well. Bring your children (if you have them yet!)
Private Classes

Also great for playgroups and other informal groups. Each 90 minute session will cover the same information as classes but customized to your needs and with as much 1:1 instruction as it takes. I will also be available for follow-up e-mail and phone advice free of charge.
