Hi! I’m Belén, Midwife, Paediatric Nurse and a Certified Sleep Consultant
My name is Belén Chocano, I am fully dedicated to help women like you to reach a good experience during the maternity period. On this page you will find everything you need to know me a bit better…
Let’s start!
I qualified 10 years ago as a midwife in England (London) after having worked 6 years as a paediatric nurse in Spain (Madrid). I also quailified as a Sleep Consultant in England (London) 5 years ago.
During the first years working as a midwife I understood that what I really enjoyed about my job, was helping the expecting mother to learn and get ready for the changes that the birth of a child brings as well as looking after her the following months of motherhood.
I then decided to create Bel&Mums, to be able to offer continuous care from pregnancy till the first months after labour. I realised that this preparation and support helped the couple to adapt easier to the new situation putting off fears and insecurities to promote the wellbeing of all the members of the family.
Our Lovely Team
Hello! I'm Paula, Psychologist specializing in Pediatric Sleep
I’ve worked as a psychologist for 20 years and specialize in Infant Sleep. Throughout my career I’ve supported many families, but it was my personal experience with my young son that led me to specialize in this area and truly understand what you’re going through.
I know how exhausting and uncertain it can be. That’s why I support each family with the closeness of someone who has been through it themselves.
Hello! I’m Ana, Midwife!
I graduated in nursing in Spain, but I always dreamed of becoming a midwife, so as soon as I finished my degree I moved to London. I lived and worked there for seven years.
What I loved most about the practice in the UK was the empathy, the respectful and humanized approach to childbirth, and the fact that the system tends to favor a natural approach, especially when it comes to decision-making, where care and respect for the woman are always at the center. It is she who makes the decisions—in an informed way—always based on the latest evidence. Thanks to my experience in London, I came to understand that there are many practices that are as common as they are outdated, and too many procedures and protocols upheld by myths, without medical backing.
I returned to Spain in November 2020, full of excitement, to continue supporting women during one of the most relevant and special periods of their lives.
I’m very happy to be able to help you take care of your babies by sharing my knowledge, so you can enjoy your little ones at every stage.
Qualifications and titles: Specialist Nurse in Family and Community Nursing.
Hey! I'm Belén, Midwife
From a young age I was very clear that I wanted to dedicate myself to the most beautiful profession in the world—I wanted to be a midwife! I completed my midwifery specialization in Barcelona, surrounded by wonderful professionals who taught me to love my profession even more and to always work following scientific evidence. I have worked in clinical settings both in the delivery room and in primary care centers, which has allowed me to gain extensive experience in all areas related to caring for mothers at different stages of their lives. Now, alongside Bel&Mums, I put my knowledge and experience at your disposal to help you experience this wonderful stage with confidence and without fear.
Hello! I am Julia, Midwife
I trained as a nurse and later as a midwife in Madrid. I have worked in many hospitals in Madrid and I am also a university professor (Pediatrics and Obstetrics).
I put all my knowledge and effort into helping families like yours through the first weeks of motherhood. It’s a wonderful time, but it can also become a challenge, so I’ll help you feel accompanied and supported to make sure that you and your baby are well and healthy.
Certifications and degrees: Nursing and Midwifery
Hello! I'm Mónica, Family and Community Nurse!
I completed my specialization in Family and Community Nursing, working both in health centers and in general and pediatric emergency departments. Thanks to this, I’ve been able to develop my profession toward caring for families at every stage of their lives.
All of this experience has led me to what I’m most passionate about: teaching. That’s why, alongside Bel&Mums, I’m delighted to teach the CPR and Pediatric First Aid course for babies and children.
Together we’ll learn how to act in order to handle and resolve some difficult situations, and so protect your children.
