Providing hope & holding space for you.

Chantelle Walmsley

Founder/Director/ Peer Support/ Group Facilitator

As the founder of HeartTalks CIC, my mission was to create a compassionate community for those affected by baby loss. After experiencing multiple losses, including a traumatic one in 2021, I truly understand the pain and isolation that follow. Guided by my own journey, I created HeartTalks, a space offering peer support and education to raise awareness and foster connection. Though it's a group no one wishes to join, I’m grateful for the love and support it brings. You don’t have to face this alone. We’re here for you."

Kelly Escott

Second Director/ Accounts

I began Volunteering with HeartTalks just before Christmas 2024, supporting the work we do through the heartbreak of Baby loss. From care packs, information, to support groups the work is both vital & deeply compassionate. It's been a privilege to be part of an organisation that brings comfort during difficult times. I'm proud to step into the role as one of the Directors of HeartTalks. I'm committed to helping the organisation grow, expand its reach and continue the vital mission to support even more parents and families through their baby loss journey.

Michelle Weeks

Volunteer/ Peer Support/ Group Facilitator for Pregnancy after Loss

“I am a birth and postnatal doula supporting families at one of the most precious times in their lives. In this work I have and continue to support families who are pregnant after loosing a baby, and work to support and nurture their journey with authenticity, heart and warmth. Bringing a baby Earth-side after loss can sometimes look and feel a little different to what you would expect and I am here to support families on their unique grief informed journeys, giving you space to allow grief and heartache to live alongside joy and happiness. Everyone deserves person centred support especially when their journey is touched with heart break. I have experienced my own pregnancy loss and I am also a Mother to twins conceived through IUI assistance. When not supporting families I enjoy doing something creative, kitchen dancing, and being in warm the sunshine (when it appears). I am pleased and privileged to share my experience, knowledge and support as part of the HeartTalks team. If you have experienced loss in your pregnancy, birth, conception or parenting journey, I see you and I am so very sorry"

Volunteer/ Events + Fundraising Coordinator | Peer Support

"After attending a HeartTalks CIC event in 2024, I felt inspired to volunteer and give back to a cause close to my heart. Since starting fertility treatment in 2018, I’ve been passionate about supporting others on similar journeys. HeartTalks’ compassionate, ongoing support deeply resonated with me, offering space for people to feel seen and heard. With a background in organising fundraising events from Ladies Nights to Gala Balls and working professionally as an events coordinator, I’m excited to contribute both personally and professionally to this meaningful organisation."

" Before attending the wonderful Bridgerton Ball in 2024, I hadn’t realised the vital support HeartTalks CIC offers to those affected by pregnancy loss. Having experienced this within my own family, I know how important it is to feel understood and not alone. I’m thrilled to join the HeartTalks team, bringing my passion and energy to help raise much-needed funds so no one has to face grief without support and a listening heart."
