| The Skinny: |
| Kasie Savage was born and raised in Montreal and now resides in the Toronto area. She considers herself a working, at-home mother (yes, this exists!) and has three little men- four-year-old Wyatt, two-year-old Noah and Baby Spencer. Each one of them has spent their formative newborn and toddler years in a WOMBaby sling. Always up for a challenge, Kasie officially launched WOMBaby Slings Inc. in July 2006 after numerous requests from new Moms for these one-of-a-kind designer carriers. |
| “Having experienced both a full intervention delivery with Wyatt (OB, epidural, induction, vacuum delivery) and a wonderful and natural delivery with my Midwife for Noah and Spencer, I really came to realize the amazing power and sense of accomplishment as a result of working hard for something you love. With Wyatt, I was an observer, numb to the feelings I was supposed to experience…but with Noah and Spencer, I truly delivered them, felt all the sensations (some…not so super) I was meant to feel, and that is a tremendously concrete sense of empowerment. After that, I can do anything!” |
| The Why: |
| Transforming WOMBaby Slings from a casual design project into a corporation with retailers across the country has been exactly what Kasie was looking for- a challenge and reward. |
| “I was the first of my friends and family to have a baby. So there was nobody to act as the experienced filter I needed for the mass marketing machine bombarding me with baby gear and accessories. Do I need a warmer for my baby wipes? No. Does my newborn need flash cards? Likely not. Does my newborn require sturdy, leather footwear? No. Did I need nipple cream for breastfeeding? Yes! But nobody told me that until I was chaffed. Moms need to help other Moms. WOMBaby Slings is all about great, fashionable, baby slings that keep your baby as close to you, your warmth and the beat of your heart as possible. The WOMBaby site also includes a “WOMBaby Recommends” section to act as your filter. A place where you can link off to other great retailers and products that experienced Moms with marketing filters, agree are truly a must.” |
| What Else? |
| When not overseeing the daily operations of WOMBaby Slings and caring for her three boys (what time is left?), Kasie can be spotted on Canadian television’s The Shopping Channel where she is the Kitchen Lifestyles Specialist. |
