Hey there! I am Jessica and I own Hartbeeps Aldershot, Surrey Heath, Woking & Guildford. I started my Hartbeeps journey in South West London in 2016 as the current session leader was about to go on maternity leave. (I am now best friends with her which is another reason I LOVE Hartbeeps as you get to meet so many wonderful people).

I love spreading lots of magic sprinkles at Hartbeeps as I originally trained in Musical Theatre at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts where I received a Dance & Drama Award. I have been lucky to do several tours and work closely with Nickelodeon's Paw Patrol where I'm very good friends with Ryder and the pups. I have performed in Paw Patrol Live in the UK and have been able to travel to Abu Dhabi, China, South Africa, Indonesia and I am soon to go to the Netherlands as my new role Associate Director and Choreographer. Thanks to Paw Patrol Live I was able to buy my own Hartbeeps franchise.

Hartbeeps is so special to me as I had a passion for performing from a very young age - it's just wonderful that I can pass this on to a new generation as it's never too early to be involved in the magic and excitement of the imagination. Hartbeeps is immensely rewarding and provides just the right amount of wonderment for those early years.

During lockdown I honed my skills as I am a qualified baby massage and baby yoga instructor and have done my level four in Makaton signing. All of this I use throughout our Hartbeeps sessions.

I was lucky enough to work alongside Ella's Kitchen and I also do private sessions for the charity Momentum.

I have run 1000's of sessions and have also done 100's of Hartbeeps birthday parties. I have previously run sessions in care homes and I try to organise several charity events throughout the year. (I jumped out of a plane in 2018 and plan to cut my hair short for The Little Princess Trust December 2022)

I run Hartbeeps in nurseries as all our programmes have been structured around the four key themes of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Please get in touch if you wish to know more.

I love watching your little ones explore and develop on our many journeys down the rabbit hole. So head to www.bookwhen.com/hartbeepsash to book a trial. Come and join in the fun.

I would like to thank everyone who has been a part of my journey from the start and those who have joined in on the way. I look forward to seeing your smiling faces each day and being there for you no matter what is going on in our lives.

Lots of Love & Magic Sprinkles love Imaginator Jessica x

Hello fellow Hartbeepers! I'm Sarah & I live in Bisley with my Husband and two children - Emily who's 5 & Jack who is 8 months old. They are both growing up way too fast & amaze me everyday - and definitely keep me on my toes!! After coming to the Baby bells classes with Jack when he was just 6 weeks old , I heard Jess needed someone, and thought it would be just perfect! I'm so glad she choose me to be apart of her wonderful team! I've done a lot of different jobs over the years but nothing quite as fun as Hartbeeps! I've worked in restaurants, golf clubs, offices, shops, a travel agents & I even used to be a veterinarian nurse, where I loved nursing animals back to health and helping bring puppies and kittens into the world! One of my biggest passions in life is to travel - I have been lucky enough to travel all over the world at various stages of my life, with friends, family & my husband. I still have a few destinations on my bucket list - including South America & the South Pacific! I also have a big love for the theatre, where I have met some of my best friends through various shows. I've lost count of how many times I've seen some of them and even my hen do was themed around the musicals, with everyone dressing up as different characters from the shows! I'm very excited to work at the new venue, The Warren and to dance and sing our way through life together - 45mins a week down the rabbit hole and away from our ordinary lives is something I think we all need! Looking forward to crazy dancing and singing with you all sometime soon! Love & Magic Sprinkles, Sarah x

Hi, I'm Ray! I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining the team of energetic, enthusiastic and fun-loving Hartbeeps Imaginators! I've been a full-time Dad since October 2016, and if you see me around Woking I'm probably shuttling one or both of my daughters (three years old and six years old) to gymnastics or swimming or any number of extracurricular activities.

I'm American by birth and lived in New York City for about a dozen years before settling in the UK eight years ago. Pre-fatherhood, I was a corporate writer and strategic communications professional. While the office job was fun enough, I much prefer the joyful and meaningful "work" that comes from helping babies and young children grow, develop and learn through play. Prior to joining Hartbeeps, I gained experience teaching baby sign language to little ones and their parents in northeast London.

I chose to become a Hartbeeps Imaginator because I believe that multi-sensory early childhood experiences that focus on play and engage the imagination can help provide a solid foundation for development. I believe that physical movement and make-believe are vital for learning how to regulate emotion and build strategies for healthy mental wellbeing later in life. And I believe that the social opportunities that Hartbeeps offers—for children and their adults alike—helps us support each other and make a positive difference for our community.

As for my hobbies, I'm reminded often of the C.S. Lewis quote: "When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." When I'm not dancing about and being wonderfully silly as an Imaginator, you might find me enjoying board games, video games or tabletop roleplaying games. I also appreciate the outdoors, and am looking forward to taking my nine month-old cockapoo puppy on long country walks (as soon as she has the stamina for a daylong hike!) Once upon a time, long ago, I went to cooking school to become a professional chef. While I didn’t ultimately pursue a restaurant career, I still love spending time in the kitchen cooking for my family. Finally, I’m an amateur musician and play a bit of guitar, a bit of saxophone, and have recently started learning about synthesizers so I can recreate the high-tech sounds of my 1980's childhood.

Thanks for welcoming me to Hartbeeps, and I’m looking forward to seeing you!

Hey happy Hartbeepers!

I’m Beth and I’m super excited to be joining the Imaginator dream team. I live with my husband, our rescue Jack Russell x Border Terrier, Riley, and our one year old daughter, Elodie. I was first introduced to Hartbeeps through word of mouth from some of my closest friends and started attending Baby Bells when Elodie was just 8 weeks old. She has absolutely loved every single session and now as she’s progressed through the classes, it’s the highlight of her week. She knows all the moves and even requests songs at home with her learned Makaton. I know a small part of why she’s so adventurous, curious, playful and interactive is down to our Hartbeeps experience and so when I was looking for a new job to work around my family, I just HAD to enquire with Jess as to whether she thought I had what it takes to join the team. Luckily, she said yes and I’ve now finished my training and a fully fledged Imaginator… the coolest job title!

Alongside Hartbeeps, I’m also a Freelance Brand Consultant, having worked in a number of design, marketing and advertising agencies for my sins, graduating with a degree in Advertising and Brand Communication all those years ago! And when I’m not Imaginator-ing or consulting, I am out gigging as a lead singer in a looping, acoustic duo band called The Parallels. We play pubs, restaurants, clubs and private parties most weekends around Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire. So it’s safe to say I keep busy on the job front. Music is such a huge part of my life. In addition to singing, I play the piano and guitar and occasionally try and write my own songs. So I love incorporating performing into my work life.

In my spare time (pah!) I have horses and used to compete in Eventing. Now my mare is in her mid twenties, you can find us cantering the miles away out hacking and enjoying the local countryside. I also like to (try to) keep fit with Zumba, running, HIT and weight classes… this girl loves a deadlift. Finally, I am somewhat ocean obsessed, being fortunate to be able to holiday in North Cornwall frequently, and so can often be found in the Atlantic on my surfboard or SUP. In a former life I also frequented the ballroom and latin social dance scene… but there really are not enough days in the week anymore.

I absolutely love making a real difference during our Hartbeeps classes. These babies get so much out of the sessions as do parents, grandparents and guardians. It’s just so lovely to see and know you have a part to play in that. Thank you for welcoming me to the team and I can’t wait to meet more of you very soon.
