How we can help
We have lots of experience of supporting families to carry their babies and children, in all sorts of circumstances.
In-person support
We run a weekly appointment only Carrying Clinic from Sally’s studio in Smallfield, which can be booked via http://Bit.ly/ESSclinic Here you can get help with your own carrier or a fitting and familiarisation of a library one before you hire.
We’re also working with our lovely colleagues at Infinity- Space To Grow who have given us a home for monthly library sessions at their wonderful postnatal group, Bloom. Slings @ Bloom runs in Horley the 4th Friday of the month and is a drop in for sling hire and fittings with your own carrier.
Visit our sling hire page for everything you need to know about attending our sessions.
We offer in depth 90 minute consultations too – in the sling studio in Smallfield or as a home visit if your baby is under 6 weeks old.

Consultations at the studio can be booked via http://bit.ly/ESSConsult or the consultations page. Please message for home visits.
