African Babywearing

The Original Baby-Wearing Method

Knowledge is meant to be applied, preserved & perpetuated. Our Ancestors Understood this which is why despite all the erasure that society has attempted, our cultural knowledge and traditions are still here-- though dispersed.

We have taken up the charge to continue in their footsteps, as education is key to changing the birth landscape for families. Through our culturally informed childbirth education, African baby wearing and African newborn & postpartum care workshops, you will:

  • Learn practical knowledge and wellness techniques to apply in your own life & width your family to regain optimal well being.

  • Gain skills, insights & the proficiency to apply this knowledge in your business & ultimately increase the level of care for your clients.

  • Reconnect with indigenous practices and join the mission of keeping this knowledge alive.
