About

Hi, I'm Leslie!

I'm a Center for Babywearing Studies certified babywearing consultant serving Madison, WI and the surrounding areas. In addition to being a babywearing educator, I am a professional musician, performing mostly at the Ivory Room Piano Bar in downtown Madison. I enjoy baking, yoga, lifting heavy weights, fun hair dye, and getting outside into nature. (Babywearing has been integral to getting on the trails with my kids!)

I've been babywearing since 2011 when my oldest, Eloise, was born. Sebastian came along a few years later, and by the time I became pregnant with Imogen a few years after that, I was training to become a Volunteer Babywearing Educator with Babywearing International. I continue to volunteer with Madison's local babywearing group, Madison Babywearing.

As Imogen needed to be worn less, I realized that my passion for teaching babywearing and empowering caregivers was only growing stronger. I completed my training with Joanna at CBWS in the Spring of 2022. 

I'm ready to support and empowers parents and caregivers by teaching them to wear their baby comfortably and safely in their favorite baby carrier!
