Body Belly Baby - Miami, Florida

I can’t recommend Body Belly Baby classes enough!

Over the summer, I attended both parenting classes (Lamaze, bringing baby home, and baby CPR) and weekly prenatal Pilates classes with Valerie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Valerie is incredibly welcoming, comforting, and friendly, making what initially felt like a daunting leap into the unknown of parenthood feel so much more manageable.

From the very first session, it was clear that Valerie is both professional and deeply knowledgeable. She created a warm and supportive environment where we not only learned valuable techniques but also built a wonderful community of expecting mothers. It felt reassuring to be surrounded by others on the same journey, all while being guided by someone who truly understands the challenges and joys of pregnancy.

As excited as I am to welcome my baby into the world, I will definitely miss Valerie’s prenatal classes and the community she has created there. I am looking forward to joining her postpartum classes, such as baby massage and mommy and me. This community has been such a positive part of my pregnancy, and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking for a nurturing and informative space during this special time.

Thank you, Valerie!

I attended the infant CPR class to learn about safety and how to react properly in an emergency. Valerie is an amazing teacher! I feel confident after her class to be able to use the skills I was taught in real life!

Valerie is the absolute best pregnancy Pilates instructor! Her classes are incredible because she truly focuses on your health and making you stronger for delivery. I had been doing regular workouts throughout pregnancy, but for my third trimester decided to focus on pregnancy workouts and honestly this class is worth every single penny. Not only do you get to build community with an incredible group of women, but she also explains throughout the class some of the theory behind the exercises and why they are important to you and how they will help you. She is also monitoring how you do exercises and corrects any issues with posture or technique. In addition, she offers online classes in case is too hard for you to attend in person, which are a great compliment to in person workouts. During my pregnancy I have always felt pain in my round ligament and in my pelvic muscles, but every time I attend class the pain is magically gone. She is wonderful!!!

The Lamaze Childbirth class with Body Belly Baby was great for getting me and my husband to feel more comfortable with what to expect from the upcoming birth of our first baby. I would recommend this course to any first-time Mom and or anyone who may have not had the ideal birth experience their first time around. Valerie teaches great exercises to incorporate into your labor and beyond that, discusses what options are out there to make the birth experience less painful and more personalized, and answers your questions. I feel much more confident going into my last 7ish weeks of pregnancy.

I have been attending Body Belly Baby since I moved to Miami from the UK at 20 weeks pregnant. It has been such a welcoming environment - Valerie who runs it is so friendly and creates a really warm and supportive space for expectant mums. The classes are a great mix of exercises including cardio, stretching, barre and weights as well as pelvic floor strengthening. I am now days away from giving birth and still attend a couple of times a week and absolutely love it. If you’ve moved to Miami from abroad it’s a great way to make friends with people from all over the world.

The classes with Valerie at Body Belly Baby were invaluable. I started going to yoga at 17 weeks pregnant and couldn’t be happier. Valerie takes the time to explain the “why” behind the various exercises and is a great resource throughout the whole process. I can also highly recommend the Infant CPR, Child-birthing and Baby 101 classes - the small class sizes, Valerie’s attention to detail and personal recommendations were a great help. Thank you Valerie!

Highly recommend Body Belly Baby and Valerie. My wife and I are pregnant with our first child and were looking for baby classes. We were getting a lot of advice on various options but decided to go with Valerie and couldn’t be happier. She takes the time to prepare you as a first time parent and makes it fun. My wife also loves the yoga classes and Valerie has been a great resource. Very glad we found Body Belly Baby and would recommend to anyone.
