Body Belly Baby is amazing!!! I started my experience with Valerie about half way through my pregnancy. Not only did the prenatal pilates help me fill the exercise void in my life, it was such a pleasant experience to be united with other expectant mothers going through similar journeys; it felt like a family. I enjoyed the pilates so much and the environment that Valerie and her associate, Shula, cultivated that I signed up for her Lamaze course, breastfeeding course, Baby CPR and Baby 101. Valerie is an excellent educator and Shula is just incredible! Body Belly Baby provides so much support beyond exercise; they really care about their clients! Looking forward to taking the Mommy and Baby Pilates class now that my baby has arrived.
Hi,
I am in my third pregnancy and a very loyal student at Body Belly Baby. I did all the classes since my first pregnancy and my son is 4 years old now, my daughter 2 and I am expecting my third baby. I want to thank Body Belly Baby because I love the classes and the instructors. I love how it has helped me stay strong and motivated during my pregnancies. The team is great and very knowledgeable. They also now work with doctors / OBGYNs practice at Mercy Hospital. I can trust the instruction and I could see the benefits in my body, my mood, my postpartum recovery and balance. It is awesome and I am thankful to be here again in my 3d pregnancy.
If this is your first pregnancy, take all the classes offered and bring your husband. This is all good important information to prepare to give birth and breastfeeding. I love this place and it is super convenient as there is also a location in South Miami for me when I go to Wholefoods or Trader Joes Market. Thank you for all you do !

My wife and I took a few classes with Valerie to prepare for the arrival of our first baby and they were extremely helpful. Very well organized, great tips and very useful hands on exercises. Highly recommend any of the classes, especially the Lamaze Childbirth and Baby CPR class.
Body Belly Baby its an absolute MUST experience while pregnant - I started going to the Prenatal Pilates class at 18 weeks and it helped me SO much. Valerie creates a beautiful environment but at the same time very professional and knows exactly the exercises that will help a pregnant woman, for the different stages. We also took the couple's Lamaze class with Valerie and it was crucial in feeling prepared, getting all of the right information needed - totally worth it. It helped both my husband and I to get educated about the birthing process and coming up with our own birth plan. Love Body Belly Baby! Will be coming back for the baby and me classes.
I took the prenatal classes since week 28. Around once/twice per week. It definitely helped my stamina and made my pregnancy easier. Valerie is very sweet and professional. O saw all the results of my workout during the delivery. I am convinced that the regular classes helped me to make the delivery easier. Highly recommended from the beginning of the pregnancy till the end.
This is the best place to do prenatal Pilates. It made the difference during my pregnancy I highly recommend it. The teachers and owner have a lot of knowledge they are very experienced and have all the certifications. You will be in the best hands. Plus you get to meet other mom; and make nice friendships.
This place is the best.
This place is simply amazing!!! Not only you get to stay fit during your pregnancy, but you also get more educated and knowledgeable about prenatal and postnatal experiences, and get to meet other wonderful people going through the same things. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming, and Valerie is one of the kindest. She has the educational background, so she knows what she is doing! The center also offers several informative classes, and I really enjoyed the classes I have taken (breastfeeding and baby 101). My whole prenatal experience there was great! And i can't wait to start joining the 'baby and me' classes soon! Merci Valerie! ---Adina
The childbirth class at Body Baby Belly was an excellent experience. I went in to the class with a lot of apprehension about the process of birth and approaching what was a great unknown. In the class, I got a step by step break down of how labor would start, continue and progress up to the final stage.
We were given opportunities to ask questions and I felt like the class was as beneficial to my husband as it was for me. It assigned him his critical role as number one support person and brought us into a team to approach birth. I'm sure all the information he was given he had never heard before. The exercises and massages we practiced in class felt great.
The class also helped us prepare for all possible outcomes and allowed us to create a thoughtful plan as to how we would handle any of the "routine" interventions that may be suggested in a medical setting. Just having the foreknowledge to have considered these outcomes was only possible through the class.
Valerie is an excellent and engaging teacher and the time went by quickly and was fun. I strongly recommend the childbirth class.

Valerie is attentive, supportive, and simply amazing! Her classes have helped me improve my sciatica pain so much!! She is constantly giving feedback for proper alignment throughout the class. I am vey thankful for her help!
My wife and I signed up for the Infant and Child CPR class after our 10 months old son had a choking incident while we were home with him. We felt so helpless in that moment and never wanted to feel that way again when it came to our precious boy,or any child. The location was convenient, parking was a breeze and the class room was spotless clean which is extremely important to us. Valerie the owner/instructor was sweet, welcoming and informative. We left there feeling prepared and relieved. Thank you Body Belly Baby, we will be back for some Baby Beats Classes!

Body belly baby is a fun and enjoyable place to get fit and feel your best before, during, and after pregnancy. The atmosphere is friendly, comfortable, and welcoming from the moment you walk in until the time you leave. Valerie is superb; optimistic, attentive, and knowledgeable she has a gentle and elegant way of educating that will empower you in a safe and accepting environment. Additional courses provided, such as baby massage are fabulous ways to bond with your baby, and learn new ways to help your child, especially as a new Mom. Highly recommend this wonderful studio!

Body belly baby is amazing! I am now at the end of my second pregnancy and I am really thankful to Valerie for the coaching throughout the two experiences. Class is very enjoyable and after exercising, you feel more energetic and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this center, teacher, and experience to any pregnant woman.
I took the baby massage course with my infant twin girls and Mom. It was a great bonding experience for all of us and the teacher, Valarie, is just wonderful. I highly recommend the course.
Body Belly Baby is the best decision to stay fit that I've made since I found out that I was pregnant. Valerie is amazing! She is always smiling and with such a great attitude to teach all the classes. The studio is super clean and welcoming. I love that it has a lot of natural light and a nice view of the bay. I go 3 times a week and it has absolutely helped me with back pain, leg cramps and with feeling more and more confident about the body changes on each pregnancy trimester, childbirth (which is very important for a first time mom like me).
I'm very happy with Valerie and the Pilates program.
This place has been my pregnancy sanctuary. I could not be happier with Valerie's pre natal pilates classes. She is the real deal. I started going here at 4-5 weeks pregnant (no belly in sight of course LOL, but lots of anxiety at the time). Actually, Valerie found out about my pregnancy before my mom did! And I'm really glad I met her because ever since she has guided me and given me all kind of support and advice to make this journey even better and easier! My husband and I also took the Childbirth education course and loved it. I am now on week 38 of my pregnancy and already planning to go back for some post natal classes when I have my doctor's OK.
I took the prenatal pilates classes during my second pregnancy and could see the difference it made in my body! Unlike the first pregnancy this time I felt lighter, my uncles and feet did not swell as much and I had good energy levels throughout the pregnancy. Valery is definately the best ;)
My husband and me took several courses the last months of my pregnancy @ BodyBellyBaby: Baby 101, Sleep training, breastfeeding course and massage course. All of them were excellent! And have been super helpful for us. Valerie is an excellent trainer and she is really into the well being of the moms and the babies. I started to do masages on my baby her 5th week and it helped me a lot with the babies blues that I was facing. The massages helped me to bond with my baby, relax and helped the baby to sleep better and make me feel that I was a better mom ( help me with my blues) ... in addition, Valerie invited me to take the course again with my daughter and I really enjoyed to meet other moms and to listened to her stories.... BodyBellyBaby is more than a center a community! I recommend 100% to new and expectant moms to be part of it!
Mommy and Me Pilates class has been such a wonderful experience at Body Belly Baby! I have to say that taking these classes have helped me both physically and mentally as a new mom. Valerie creates a very fun, gentle and relaxing environment that helps facilitate a healthy mind and healthy body approach. Also a great way to meet and interact with other mommies, babies and new friends! I highly recommend this class and look forward to many more as my 5 month old grows!
After taking several Mommy and Me Pilates classes, we also learned about the Baby Massage Class and couldn't wait to just start our session. Having to stop breastfeeding when my daughter turned 3 months was difficult but baby massage class was a great way for us to strengthen our bond through the techniques of positive contact. Not only have we noticed the developmental benefits but it has also empowered us as parents to really become experts on connecting through love and nurturing but also understanding our children during the early stages of nonverbal language.
My husband and I attended the Lamaze birth course last week. OMG!!!!! We are so glad we joined at 30 weeks! We learned everything about labour in a very friendly and intimate almost 1:1 environment. This is not the typical birth class, it includes envisioning your birth, it promotes the collaboration of both mom and dad to be, it is a bonding experience for the couple in designing the ideal birth plan for the baby. I strongly recommend couples to attend this course as it will prepare you with facts to make your own decisions on what is best for your child's birth. Valerie is wonderful! Her dedication, knowledge, attention to detail create a very special environment in an afternoon that will always be remembered. Material handed in class will help you go back and define your plan. Thanks Valerie!!!!! We are now confident than we are prepared for the best experience in bringing our baby to this world :)
