Hi, my name is Ana. I’m a mom of two, Babywearing Consultant, and Babywearing Dance Instructor, originally from Mexico and now living in Nelson, BC.

I believe babywearing can be a beautiful tool that supports the whole family. It can help mothers feel held and supported as they navigate motherhood, while also giving fathers and other caregivers an opportunity to be actively involved in caring for and connecting with their babies.

I love helping families discover how carrying their babies can become so much more than simply having their hands free or being able to move around. It is a way of meeting one of our babies most basic needs… closeness and connection. Through safe and ergonomic babywearing, we can support babies development while also creating space for parents to bond, get to know their babies, and feel more confident in this transition into parenthood.

I was trained by Die Trageschule Dresden and have additional newborn babywearing training through the Center for Babywearing Studies (CBWS). I also currently continue my education in babywearing with premature babies.

I founded Kangaroo Baby in Mexico in 2023, and since then I’ve had the joy of accompanying more than 300 families on their babywearing journeys. 

Now that I’m living in Nelson, I’m so happy to bring this knowledge and passion into our local community to connect with families, create circles where babywearing brings us together, and help more parents experience carrying their babies with confidence.

I also love dancing, and one of the things I love most about dancing with our babies is that it gives us a chance to reconnect with our own bodies and honor everything our bodies have done in bringing our babies into the world. As mothers, there are moments when our babies need so much of our attention that it can be easy to lose touch with ourselves. I believe babywearing gives us a beautiful way to care for our own needs without leaving behind one of our babies’ most important needs… Contact

I’m excited to connect with local families and be part of their journey through motherhood and fatherhood, supporting them in finding the right carrier for their family and helping them carry their babies safely, comfortably, and with confidence.
