Azja Pryor

Trained Baby Wearing Educator

Azja Pryor, a CBWS-trained baby wearing educator with six years of experience, is passionate about supporting parents in this journey by introducing them to the transformative benefits of baby wearing.

Through her work with diverse communities, including collaborations with the National Birth Equity Collaborative (NBEC) and an in-person workshop for Alexandria House, which provides refuge for women and children experiencing trauma, Azja has seen firsthand how baby wearing can be a powerful tool for mental wellness. The simple act of carrying a baby closely fosters emotional regulation, reduces stress, and promotes bonding, which can ease feelings of anxiety and postpartum depression.

Beyond convenience, baby wearing empowers caregivers by providing a sense of confidence, connection, and calm during one of life’s most demanding transitions. It allows parents to be present, both physically and emotionally, while also maintaining a sense of self.

Azja’s expertise offers invaluable insight into the intersection of mental health and parenthood, making her an ideal voice for self-care and mental wellness to discuss how baby wearing can provide emotional relief and resilience for parents and caregivers.
