I am very proud and excited to bring Hartbeeps to new areas in the North East! It is an absolute honour to be able to deliver these fun, interactive, and developmental activities and games to your little ones! Baby Beeps and Happy House have brought my baby and me so much joy over the months, and I can't wait to share this with you!
 

As a mother with a newborn, I joined as many classes as possible when I had my first baby, especially since I had only moved to Newcastle from London two years prior. It not only made my baby ecstatically happy, but it was also a fantastic opportunity to meet new people, form friendships, and share experiences, advice, and laughter. Just like you, I bring enthusiasm, encouragement, and passion, and I want you and your child to have the best time with us.
 

In addition to running these sessions, I am also a pre and postnatal doula, accredited in baby massage and baby yoga. 

I'm very passionate about supporting the local community and helping others, so if you'd like to work together or need support, feel free to get in touch!

Until we meet,

Hi! My name is Gemma, and I have been attending Hartbeeps since January 2020 with my little boy, Austin. 

We started classes when Austin was only 3 weeks old, so we’ve experienced the whole journey—from a teeny tiny baby who slept through most of his first weeks to now attending the Walkers class, where I can rarely get him to stay next to me because he’s too busy looking for Dexter!
 

I love Hartbeeps because I simply can't imagine our life without it. The memories we’ve made so far are unbeatable, and the benefits to Austin’s development are undeniable. Not to mention the collection of cute and funky headgear photos we’ve gathered! Equally as important, I’ve also met a fantastic support network of other mums, some of whom have gone on to become great friends.
 

I’ve worked at Hartbeeps for over 3 years, and I love being an Imaginator because I get to help bring the same magic to other grown-ups and little ones and be part of their memories. I’m also accredited in baby massage and have a passion for expanding my knowledge of little ones’ development so I can support our customers wherever I can. Oh, and did I mention I’m the party queen? I love bringing energy and fun to every session!
 

In my personal life, I enjoy getting out and about with Austin, going for long walks, listening to (and dancing around to) cheesy music, eating ice cream, and spending time with my friends and family. I look forward to meeting some of you soon, so please do say Hi!

Hello, I'm Claire and I'm so privileged to be able to share some of your special moments with you and your children.

I only discovered Hartbeeps  about 18 months ago and  wish that it had been around when my own children were babies! (They are now in their mid 20s!)

I have spent my whole career working with young children and their parents and carers as a primary school teacher in Newcastle. My main passions were developing language and literacy skills, developing the imagination through the arts and finding ways to encourage curiosity and wonder in the world around them. Hartbeeps was therefore a natural move for me as it encompasses all of the things I loved about teaching. I have loved working with Hartbeeps over the last 15 months and watching children develop as confident, creative little people. I also thoroughly enjoy my regular weekly sessions in nurseries as well as delivering our beautiful Hartbeeps baby massage programme.

In my spare time I love to keep fit. I love walking, I do pilates and yoga but my passion is dance! I also organise Messy church events for children and their families.

Those early years with your little ones are so special and it is a joy to be able to share some of those moments with you all.

Here’s a little hello from Lilia herself…

“Hi, I’m Lilia and I’m a new Imaginator here at Hartbeeps 

Outside of Hartbeeps, I’m also a dance teacher  I absolutely love seeing how music and movement help little ones grow in confidence, and I can’t wait to bring that same energy into our magical adventures.

Music has always been a huge passion of mine  From completing my Grade 8 singing exam to playing the violin  I’m always surrounded by songs, rhythm and plenty of dancing!

When I’m not singing or dancing, you’ll probably find me planning my next holiday  I love exploring new places and making fun memories in the sunshine.

I’m so excited to properly meet you and your little ones. If you see me around, please come and say hi  And don’t forget to tell me your little one’s favourite Hartbeeps song so I can get my best dance moves ready

Hello! I'm Emily and I'm so excited to have joined the Hartbeeps team here in the Northeast. 

I was so lucky when the opportunity arose for an imaginator and knew it would be something I would enjoy. I am a primary school teacher, and love getting little ones to use their imagination and skills in a creative way. 

I have an 18 month old daughter (Matilda) who has also experienced the magic of Hartbeeps. When I saw how much she enjoyed the classes, I wanted to bring that joy to lots of children in our area! The classes are so much fun; filled with songs and interactive activities that are great for the grown ups too! My husband and I are constantly singing the songs around home. 

In my personal life, I love taking nice walks with Matilda and my big dog Maggie. We try to get out and see new places as much as we can and feel very blessed to live in such a beautiful part of the world. 

We love to travel as a family, and often go back to my home in Canada.  

I'm looking forward to teaching more classes, and getting to know the Hartbeeps community!
