Hello Hartbeepers!

We are Jodi and Carolyn, and together we run Hartbeeps for this area.

Jodi

I am a mummy to two girls, Islay and Poppy and they are the reason I began on my Hartbeeps journey. They love Hartbeeps and still enjoy helping behind the scenes and feeling a part of the team. I feel so lucky to be meeting wonderful parents and children, creating happy memories and scattering magic sprinkles! It really is the best job in the world.

My background is in dance, I studied this at university and went on to work with people who had physical disabilities. Once I had my first daughter I became a childminder, a job I loved and did for four years. Then I discovered Hartbeeps and I can honestly say it was the most captivating, whimsical class that I have ever experienced with my children.

Hartbeeps has so many benefits for babies and children and is delivered with passion and care. I hope you will love it as much as I do. I very much look forward to meeting you all soon!

Carolyn

I am Carolyn and I am extremely excited to co-own and run Hartbeeps with Jodi in this area.

My days with Hartbeeps started when I attended a class with my daughter Erin. She was only a few weeks old and we swiftly signed up for all the terms we could squeeze in during my maternity leave! We just loved it. The sessions were magical, engaging and so much fun. I found new ways to play at home and I met other parents who are now absolutely friends for life.

In my pre Hartbeeps life I worked in the Motor trade; would you believe it. Since joining the Hartbeeps team I have never looked back. Somethings are just meant to be.

It is an honour to be a part of Hartbeeps. I get to meet so many incredible babies and their families and provide a place where they can just be together, enjoy a magical journey of development and fun and together make glorious memories.

I cannot wait to meet you all and bring our magic sprinkles into your lives.

Hello,

I'm Jessie, Mummy of Isaac 7 and Austin 4 and your crazy Imaginator for Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield. Get ready to come on a musical adventure with me and your little one. Meet others and make memories you and your little one will have for a lifetime.

I've always loved singing, dancing and performing, as child and young adult but then I moved to London to follow a different career path. After many years in the corporate world, I had my first son Isaac and by chance found Hartbeeps. We discovered Hartbeeps when visiting my parents up north and instantly feel in love. But alas there was no Hartbeeps in Welwyn Garden City. For some reason I didn't look much further afield, as a new mum I wasn't sure I wanted to drive to St Albans for a class. Silly I know as I wouldn't think twice about it now, but I was quite nervous with things like that. I went back to work and juggled being a new mum and holding down a 9-5 job.
 

I then had my second son Austin and felt that we both needed Hartbeeps in our life so after contacting the franchise owner and going through the training, Hartbeeps Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield was born. I was able to take Austin to classes every week and he loved it. I could see how the sessions helped him, from the repetition of the beginnings and endings meaning he felt safe and calm to him being able to count to 10 by the time he was 2. 
 

I have been running sessions in WGC since February 2018 and I love it, I wouldn't change it for the world, it really is my dream job.
 

Covid meant we have had to take a break, but we are back stronger than ever, and we have a bigger and better team than ever before.

I get to be creative every day, see grownups bond with their little ones, create memories and just be silly, as well as being at home when my boys are back from school.

In this crazy stressful world where at times it can feel like it's getting on top of us, come and take time out with me and your little one. Let's shake off all are adult norms and just simply be and play with our little ones whilst working on their development without them or you even realising it.

I can't wait to meet you and your little one and go on some wonderful adventures together.

Hi I'm Amy,
I'm a single Mummy to a lovely little boy.

In my pre Mummy life I was a Musical Theatre performer in the UK and around the world. I have also worked a lot in TV and Film. I now teach Performing arts to children locally for various companies.

Eddie and I first came to Hartbeeps when he was 12 weeks old, and we attended every week until he started school!
Hartbeeps holds a special place in our hearts. It gave us a magical world to explore, somewhere to have fun and forget about everything but just us two. It never failed to make us both smile.

Which I why I'm thrilled to now be spreading the magic sprinkles that we felt to other families as an Imaginator.

I hope myself and Hartbeeps gives you as many fun, fuzzy and magical moments to remember as it gave to Eddie and I.
 

Hello,

My name is Zulehka I run the Harpenden sessions and St Albans on Fridays. I am a mum of 2 very energetic boys, and I have a background in education and performing. I have been a primary school teacher for over 10 years and have also acted in a variety of T.I.E productions for schools.

I started my Hartbeeps journey when I moved to Hertfordshire and started taking classes with my youngest. I quickly fell in love with the classes and new I wanted to get involved. Luckily, I was given the opportunity to join the team in 2019 and began my training. During my training my eldest was able to join me and he soon became a fellow hartbeeper. He even helped me to create content for Hartbeeps@home. I started running classes near the end of 2020 and as they say the rest is history! I love sharing this time with you and your little ones. I loved Hartbeeps as a fellow mum and love it even more as an imaginator.

Hello!

My name’s Amy and I’m so excited to journey down the rabbit hole with your and your little ones as your Imaginator for Waltham Abbey.

I have a beautiful 2 year old daughter called Sienna who certainly keeps me on my toes, but I wouldn’t change her for the world.

I first came across Hartbeeps when a friend who already attended suggested we should give it a try. We’d done lots of other classes in the past, Sienna is an IVF baby and it took me and my husband 8 long years to get her so of course when she arrived I was signing us up for pretty much anything and everything.

The whole thing was just magical, Sienna was having the time of her life, as was I! I’m not sure which one of us loved it more. I just had to be a part of the Hartbeeps family.

It is absolutely my dream job and I enjoy every single minute of it.

My background has always been in performing, one way or another. I’ve attended stage school since I was 3 and at age 14 I was chosen to be in a new girlband alongside Jess Wright from TOWIE. We toured the UK supporting the girlband ‘Cleopatra’ (those of you of a certain age will remember them) we also played a sell out gig at London’s Hippodrome Theatre. It was a crazy experience at that age but so much fun and one I wouldn’t change. I loved it.

After the band dismembered I studied dance and performing arts at college and once I graduated I decided I want to travel a bit so I moved to Majorca for a year where I was a in house dancer for the car wash club and then a dance cast member at the coyote ugly bar. It was an amazing time in my life, I met loads of new friends and had an absolute blast. I also grew up a lot and I feel it helped make me into the woman I am today.

Once I came home from Majorca I settled into teaching dance for a local dance school which I did for many years but dance teaching hours aren’t very practical when you have little ones so I’d been thinking of a career change for a while when as if by magic Hartbeeps came along and the rest, as they say is history.

I feel honoured to be part of the Hartbeeps family and privileged that I get to meet so many wonderful babies and their families and take them all on magical journeys of learning and fun.

I can’t wait to meet you all!
Lots of love and magic sprinkles
Amy

Hello you lovely lot,

I am beyond excited to be bringing some Hartbeeps magic to classes in

Hitchin, Letchworth and Stotfold.

I am a mummy to a wonderful little girl, Ryla, who is 1. I have her to be thankful for in helping me find a job that genuinely makes my soul happy.

I have always found myself working in corporate environments, mainly on a temporary basis in order to save up and travel. I have been lucky enough to visit and live in some amazing countries over the years. From living in the Rocky Mountains in Canada, to walking across Sri Lanka for charity, however my most enjoyable adventure yet has been becoming a mum.

We absolutley fell in love with Hartbeeps from the first class we tried. It really was a magical experience and it's been our perfect little escape from reality ever since.

I can't wait to take you on your very own adventure with your little one and I hope you love it as much as we do!

Love and Magic sprinkles

I’m Emma, 

I’m an Imaginator at some classes in our Hitchin Hub and also at Trestle in St Albans! I’m Mummy to Rowan and he was born Autumn 2022.

I’m Scottish and I moved to London from Aberdeen the weekend after Kate and Wills got married in 2011 and I’ve never looked back. 

I’m a trained Fashion Designer and after working in the fashion industry for a decade, my husband and I moved to Stotfold from Central London during Covid and then shortly after Rowan arrived!

My first experience with Hartbeeps was Baby Bells, I immediately loved all the songs all the colourful stimulating themes and how it was a baby led class around Rowan. I was singing the catchy songs for the rest of the week and couldn’t get them out of my head!

I tried to do as many Hartbeeps classes I could during my maternity leave and as a result, Rowan stood for the first time, crawled for the first time, and took his first steps at Hartbeeps. These are special core memories I will have for the rest of my life!

Coming to Hartbeeps was my chance to get out of the house and step into another world with Rowan and it put a sunshine sparkle on my day, no matter how grey it was outside.

My back up plan when I was younger after fashion was Performing Arts although I’m not that well-coordinated when it comes to dancing! My passion has always been there and feel so blessed that I get to be in my happy place singing when I’m an Imaginator!

I am so honoured to be part of this incredible team. It’s a privilege to be a part of your little ones Hartbeeps journey and stir up their imagination and get a chance to guide you on an unbelievable adventure with you and your little ones.

Can’t wait to see you soon!

Love Emma

Hi I’m Vicky,

Mummy To Elsie age 6 and  Arthur age  2.

I am your Imaginator for Northaw and I am so excited to meet you with your little ones as we take a journey down the rabbit hole into the world of the imagination.

I have always loved singing & dancing and was told from a young age I should be on stage! 
Growing up I would sing and make up dances to perform to family & I am always the 1st one up on the karaoke!

After leaving school, I decided to pursue a career in the Travel Industry which allowed me to see many parts of Europe and meet different people from all over the world.

After 12 long years as a Hotel Contracts Manager for a leading hotel wholesaler based in the city of London, My Husband and I were blessed with our 1st child, my daughter Elsie.

Elsie was just 8 weeks old when we discovered Hartbeeps. We instantly fell in love with the classes and signed up for every term. When my maternity leave was due to end, I decided that my stressful and demanding career no longer fitted with my new family life and I decided I needed something new! I spoke to the then owner of my local Hartbeeps who was looking for an imaginator for the Cheshunt area and decided to apply.  I absolutely loved every minute of my new career! I have not looked back!

Unfortunately COVID struck and with lockdown restrictions it meant I had to take a break from Hartbeeps.

In December 2021 we welcomed our 2nd child, our Son Arthur. 
I was so pleased to have the opportunity to attend Hartbeeps again with my son.  Arthur, like Elsie absolutely loved the classes and we still attend Happy House now!

Both my children have gained so much from these amazing classes, we have made so many lovely friends and made memories that will last a life time.

When Arthur turned 18 months old, I decided to dive back into the world of Hartbeeps and I am delighted to be your Imaginator for Northaw!!

I am so glad to be back so I can create the Hartbeeps magic for you and your little ones!

I can’t wait to meet you all and welcome you to the wonderful world of Hartbeeps!

Vicky
