Thank you Lorette for the amazing day that I got to spend with you soaking up all that knowledge and playfulness that you bring into this course! I’m very grateful to start my journey in this community.
Lorette's experience as a Trainer really shines through - not only in her ability to share her sling & carrying knowledge, but also as a facilitator of learning & of working with groups of people.
This was an intense & thorough day course, full of discussion, reflection, listening & learning. There were many advantages to it being online, which for me included no travel & less time away from my family - however, I do look forward to the prospect of possibly repeating the course in person!
It was not only Slingababy's excellent reputation that drew me to this course but also their flexibility regarding payment & what might happen if I couldn't attend last minute (I'm a Doula currently on-call) that made it an easy decision to book & I'm so glad I did.
Thank you Lorette & Team
Loved the feeling of community and trust. How to create a community across oceans. Thankyou for connecting me to a whole world of people with one shared goal.
For me attending this course was the achievement of a dream (since my baby was born 4years ago and I strated babywering).
The Course is very well organized, there are no dead or impossible tasks.
Lorette is an excellent communicator, who knows a lot about babywearing but not only. The interconnection between the various themes of the daily life of a family with babies/children (for example: breastfeeding) is very important, as babywearing does not happen isolated in our lives.
The contents are very clear and accessible and the possibility of reviewing the videos and participating in future courses to refresh the information is simply very good in terms of monitoring and the possibility of evolution.
Even at distance, but we feel welcome and respected.
I recommend Slingababy at 10 000%
Even with the language barrier (sometimes I felt I didn't have enough vocabulary or didn't know how to express myself), it was clear from the start that there would be no judgments about it and the communication always flowed.
Would definitely recommend this course to anybody who wants to become a babywearing consultant. Lorette is an amazing educator and passionate about her work
Brilliant course, delivered well in its online form with plenty of support. Was nice to have a small number in the 'class', making it feel more personal, and the tutorial videos were very well done.
I absolutely loved Lorette's teaching method. Having the opportunity to make mistakes on purpose and figure out how to correct them gave me so much confidence that I could help parents troubleshoot their carrier issues.
I have attended the Peer Supporter, Consultancy and Feeding in Slings courses. It's not exaggerating to say these are life changing. Slingababy courses are about so much more than slings, it's a whole new way of thinking and understanding people and the world. I'd recommend them as an essential life skill as well as a huge confidence boost for carrying professionals looking to upskill.
Absolutely wonderful company. I did a course with them last week and it was just brilliant. In the lead up to it I also had an issue with a doll another company was supposed to send me and despite it not being their responsibility at all Slingababy went out of their way to help me find a workable solution and find a last minute local replacement. They REALLY care. Their approach is sensitive, empowering, person-centred, humble and generally brilliant. I can’t wait to do their full consultancy course one day.
I honestly can’t put into words how brilliant this course was. I absolutely love Lorette’s way of teaching with slings and how it’s about encouraging personal reflection and mindful approach . I love how truly person centred her practice, that humans are diverse and everyone is different and that’s crucial and has to be central and what works for one won’t for another and that love comes through too for all of us in our differences. and her style is and that is also a central part of what she passes on, so that even if someone wasn’t on that path already (and was more didactic and this is right / that’s wrong), it encourages attendees to be so in skit practice and that this may also have an impact in places beyond even the sling world. Which is really powerful. And even in their own lives. I love that activism and responding to injustice was so central to this. I feel like slingababy is just so connected with my heart and what matters to me and I know I MUST stay connected with you guys to keep me inspired and buzzing and help me do the work I care about. The passion is so powerfuk and the heart is so strong.
Wonderful space holding. Respective, responsive trauma informed approach (or intuitively / instinctively good for anyone with trauma - I need such space and seek them), neurodivergent friendly, safe, culturally humble, generally brilliant I just can’t say enough good about this. I loved slingababy before but I am absolutely in adoration with slingababy after today.
This course was amazing. There is a lot of learn packed in, along with getting to chat with the other people on the course too. I really feel as if I got so much more out of it that it cost.
The consultancy course was a great introduction to not just different carriers and types of carry, but also the Slingababy ethos of being person-centered and meeting people and their needs where they are. It really made me evaluate why I would like to be a consultant and was a great starting point for my babywearing and consultancy journey. Lorette's teaching style is very effective and I left feeling like I had a good overview of the field and a better understanding of where I want to focus in on. Highly recommend even if you're really new to babywearing!
The Course was brilliant, such a wide range of carriers and styles included. Lorette was great, very thorough, explained everything in great detail whilst giving time for any questions. I attended the course to expand my knowledge in other styles of carriers and other ways of carrying and I absolutely felt I did that. I would highly recommend this course.
Intense and inspiring! The course covers so much, and is really well structured, with a great mix of practical skills and theoretical learning and development.
Being able to take part via zoom made the course so much more accessible (no need to factor in travel time and costs, or accommodation) and easier to fit around family life. It enabled attendees from across the world, which really enriched the learning experience. It also helped knowing that the video tutorials would be available to go back to, so that you didn’t need to worry about trying to remember or make notes on every detail.
The slingababy baby wearing consultant course is a intense and wonderful learning experience. Based on a growth mindset Lorette is providing a very good training to develop not only as a constultant but also as a person. Contentwise the course covers a really wide range of knowledge. I really would recommend this course to anyone who wants to start or to enhance his or her baby wearing consultant journey.
Fantastic informative, thought provoking course!
I thought Lorette was a fantastic facilitator, I was very nervous going in as someone that had little baby carrying experience but Lorette made me feel welcomed. She ensured information covered my knowledge base as well as more knowledgeable attendees.
Also brilliant at balancing the different views of the group to make it become a thought provoking conversation
I absolutely loved my peer supporter training! Even though it was held online, I felt like we all got to know eachother well. Lorette is an amazing tutor and is very lighthearted, which put all of us at ease to ask plenty of questions. The amount of wraps, carriers and styles she taught us went far beyond what I was hoping for and can't wait to use my skills at my baby group.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who would like to start their journey to supporting families in babywearing.
I loved it! It was great getting to ask all those silly questions and get an answer. I loved working with everyone and the knowledge I've gained
This is the second Slingababy course I have attended and the experience is like nothing else. You learn so much and come away feeling empowered and passionate to make a change
Lorette is the most inspiring trainer I have had the chance to meet in a while!
The tools I got from the course are an awesome resource to support families.
It was a pleasure to learn in such a safe, stimulating and open minded environment.
I highly recommend Slingababy’s courses!
