What is a Personal Virtual Consultation?
A personal virtual consultation is an individual appointment designed to meet your family's unique babywearing and kangaroo care needs. Via email, text, phone, or instant message, I will consult with you about what you want your baby carrier to do for you. And then I will send you carriers or (most often) we will work with your own carriers to meet your needs. Via Facetime or Skype, personal virtual appointments are best done in smaller time increments and usually take between 30-45 minutes and often are done across 2-3 appointments.
Below is a sampling of my most common consultation themes. 2nd+ consultations receive a RGP client discount.

3. Baby Carrier Solutions
Before the consult, we will discuss your unique situation and I will recommend several different baby carrier solutions. You will choose 3-5 of these solutions, and at your consult, I will help you try each out, and then teach you how to use your favorites.
4. Nursing in Baby Carrier(s)
You will need a nursing cami or bra and scoop or v-neck top or nursing shirt; I can help you find these before the consult. You will try out a few different styles of carriers and I will help you make adjustments to find the carrier that you and baby are most comfortable nursing in.
5. First Back Carry
I will show you 2-6 of the 20+ different ways to load baby on your back and then you will practice your first choice loading methods with a specially weighted babywearing demonstration doll and then I will help you practice with your baby. You will learn back carries with at least 2 different types and/or styles of carriers
