Are you a passionate babywearing advocate?
Do you feel a special affinity for working with parents and babies?
Would you like the opportunity to train with an established Babywearing school?
We are very pleased to announce that Ulrike Hoewer of the Tragsechule, Dresden will be travelling to London next year to begin teaching her Babywearing Consultants course.
Becoming a babywearing consultant is a serious and special undertaking. You will be working with new parents during a very special time in their lives. Creating an inviting environment where parents feel empowered, ready and able to learn new skills, is the task of the babywearing consultant.
- We share our knowledge sensitively, in a way that respects the individual;
- We support parents to make their own choices;
- We follow a clear and concise method to teach babywearing to ensure physical and emotional wellbeing for both parent and baby.
Ulrike is a registered nurse and breastfeeding counsellor; she holds a masters degree in Philosophy and is mother to 4 children with over 12 years babywearing experience.
She has been working with new parents, teaching them the skills of babywearing for 10 years.
About the course:
The Basic course takes place over two days and is very intensive. During the course you will draw upon your own knowledge as a parent and babywearer, as well as learn more about the up-to-date scientific and medical research that supports babywearing as a positive childrearing practice for the human animal.
You will also gain the concise practical skills necessary to teach complete beginners to wear their baby confidently and comfortably.
After completion you will gain membership of the network and will have the necessary skills and knowledge to begin holding consultations of your own.
To gain full certification a further Advanced course, plus an examination course are required.
About the Trageschule:
The Trageschule is a well respected organisation in Germany and throughout Europe with students in many countries including France, Italy, and Switzerland.
There are 8 places on the course,
which will take place in London, NW10 on the 7th-8th of March 2008.
