bellytots
I’m a proud mum to 3 wonderful children, and a senior trained nurse with a 15+
year career history within the NHS. My kids transformed my life in so many ways
and this led to my passion for nurturing, enriching and helping other women in
their motherhood journey. My background is in nursing and caring for the
elderly. I started my career as a care home assistant before I trained to become
a registered nurse at Kings College, London where I graduated with a BSc Honours
Degree in Nursing Studies. I’ve worked at St. George's Hospital in Tooting, The
Croydon Community Healthcare Trust and Central Middlesex Hospital in Park Royal.
My nursing roles have varied greatly and include: Orthopeadics, Elderly
Hospital-at-Home, Palliative Care (the most beautiful experience), and also
Pharmaceutical Research as a Senior Nurse Trainer. In addition to my nursing
degree, I am also fully trained in Antenatal and Postnatal Education (both NCT
and NHS). This includes Pre & Postnatal Pilates, Pregnancy Yoga Exercises (NCT
and Wheel of Yoga Teachers), Baby Massage and Baby Yoga (Accredited by the Royal
College of Midwives), and Birth Trauma Support. A full list of my qualifications
is shown below. My experience and my love for facilitating group learning led me
to set up BellyTots in 2018, to offer a truly holistic approach for supporting
mums and mums-to-be through their pregnancy journey and beyond. I continue to
teach Antenatal Classes for the NCT and the NHS.
