Rachael Barlee | Edinburgh and Midlothian

Hello! I'm Rachael I'm a Scottish Baby & Toddler Specialist and Sling Consultant, based in Dalkeith with my preschooler and our calico cat! I discovered my interest in baby and child development during pregnancy, and quickly fell down the rabbit hole of learning! I'd previously worked a lot with children, but grew an ambition to support parents through education and an empathetic ear, and started a journey of learning with CalmFamily, and then Slingababy, in early 2019. I'm an advocate of babies and children's rights, and resonate with autonomous life learning. I have an interest in environment respecting choices that we can make as parents, and in raising children without the pressures of strict gender roles! I have recently created a wonderful learning community with my colleague, Hannah, called The Bonnie Parenting Community! You can find the link to join us below! |

"Had a lovely and very educational consultation with Rachael today! Learned so much about my little boy and his needs. I...got many useful tips and lots of info to help us now and in the next stages!" - Kat, weaning & baby sleep
Group Tasters & Private Workshops
As well as running organised classes, I offer taster sessions and private workshops for groups such as nurseries, toddler groups, antenatal classes, and groups of friends with babies or children at the same age/stage.
Taster sessions are shorter sessions focused in on one aspect of a topic - such as Examining Weaning Readiness, Understanding Toddler Meltdowns, or The Womb to World Transition. We can decide a taster focus together. They can either be interactive & reflective mini workshops (1.5 hours), or information punchy seminars (45 min - 1 hour).
Private workshops can cover any of the BabyCalm or ToddlerCalm workshop focuses, such as the Fourth Trimester, Toddler Eating or Play & Building Brains.
Private workshops can be great for nurseries to offer to parents, and can be lovely for groups of friends or antenatal classmates to come to together, and continue building your bond at the same time as learning!
To discuss your needs and what you would like to book with me, email me a little information about your group and setting. I offer discounts for private group work, based on number of participants
