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.
