PROGRESSIONS TRAINING
See Babies Differently.
Support Families Fully.
Grow Professionally.
● ● ●
Progressions is more than a continuation of Foundations.
It’s a shift in who you are as a professional.
If you're ready to move beyond “carrier tips and tricks” and into the deeper work of understanding how babies develop, how they sense the world, regulate their bodies, form attachment, respond to stress, and make meaning through relationship, Progressions is your next step.
This training turns you into the person clients seek out not just for adjustments or troubleshooting, but for perspective. For interpretation. For ongoing guidance as their baby grows through the early years.
This course is fully evergreen. Watch the videos in your own time. Come to Joanna’s office hours for help, troubleshooting, or to talk something through with someone who has seen it all.
What Progressions Builds In You
Families need someone who can explain development clearly, translate the science, and guide them through crying, sleep changes, sensory shifts, and stress patterns. Progressions trains you to be that person. The educator they return to again and again because you know how to make the early years make sense.
You’ll also gain practical facilitation skills for leading groups, managing diverse personalities, and creating learning environments where parents feel supported instead of overwhelmed.
Build on everything you learned in Foundations, go deeper into how babies experience being carried,
Deepen Your Understanding. Strengthen Your Support. Refine Your Work.
Here is what you will explore inside Progressions:
- How the vestibular and proprioceptive systems shape infant needs and expectations
- The deeper science and mechanics of crying, colic, developing state regulation, behavior states, and prosocial behaviors
- Sleep transitions and how babywearing can support families with sleep consolidation
- How to identify and adapt to different client archetypes from the Coach to the Fairy and tailor your teaching so they feel seen and supported
- Attachment styles with a practical, real world approach
- Stress and resilience and the long arc of development, and how to reduce guilt and increase parent confidence
- In person group facilitation strategies that make your classes, workshops, and groups smoother, calmer, and more effective
- Communication nuances that help you guide families with clarity and confidence
- Reflective and generative work to support your learning
- Progressions Circle with room for real time challenges, clarifying questions, or complex client situations
- Evergreen access so you can learn at your own pace and return to the videos when you need a refresher
What You Will Walk Away With
A clear, structured approach to teaching infant development in a way that families immediately understand and rely on. You will feel confident explaining the why behind infant behavior, supporting families through challenging stages, and using carrying as a tool within a bigger developmental picture.
Progressions positions you as a specialist. Someone families trust, return to, and recommend.
Who is Progressions For?
Foundation Grads who want depth, clarity, and the ability to communicate development with confidence. If you're ready to be more than a carrier resource... if you want to be a reliable developmental guide for the families you serve... this is your course.
