Providing Hope + Empowering Voices for Parents & Families Grieving the loss of a baby
HeartTalks is a not-for-profit community interest company established in 2023 by Chantelle Walmsley, a Nurse, Author, Peer Supporter, and Director of HeartTalks. Chantelle's own journey through the emotional complexities of fertility and recurrent pregnancy loss revealed a significant gap in local support services for individuals facing similar challenges. This personal experience inspired her to create a compassionate space for others, empowering them to break the silence and connect with a supportive community.
Driven by authenticity and a passion for change, HeartTalks aims to provide the support and resources that Chantelle wished she had during her own journey. Our mission is to help individuals reclaim their sense of self, find peace within, and pursue a path of growth, respect, and love
Our Services currently operate in the Somer Valley area, covering Bath and North Somerset. Our dedicated service space in Midsomer Norton opened in November 2024, offers a nurturing environment for those navigating the grief and loss of the death of a baby. At HeartTalks, we believe in creating accessible and supportive peer support space for individuals to find comfort and connections.
