15/30 minute Appointment
At my home or via Skype/Facetime
These are designed for people who know pretty much what they want to hire but want to try a couple of options. These appointments are also ideal if you want a bit of help with an aspect of your carrier (e.g. getting your ring sling comfortable or tightening your stretchy wrap). Skype/Facetime appointments can be used for help with an existing carrier, or for people who aren’t in the area but would like to see options before hiring. A follow-up Consultation can be booked for during a hire as well.
Payment is required at the time of booking, in order to secure the appointment (this payment is non-refundable and non-transferrable).
In-person appointments are available at various times of the day during school hours and weekends, at my home in Petersfield. Skype and Facetime Consultations are available at various times during the daytime and evening. Please get in touch for more details.
