Delaware Valley Presents Free Motherhood Fitness, Parenting and Maternal Wellness Instructional Workshops

Delaware Valley Presents Free Motherhood Fitness, Parenting and Maternal Wellness Instructional Workshops

Belly Pilates, the Delaware Valley’s exclusive motherhood fitness and maternal wellness studio, comprehensively serving the health, wellness and educational needs of the multiple stages of motherhood, is excited to present 22 free instructional and educational workshops for parents throughout the Philadelphia and Main Line area this fall. 

The workshops are scheduled from September 18th through November 20th. Nineteen of the area’s top parenting specialists will present on a multitude of topics geared to help educate and improve the health and well-being of parents and their babies, toddlers and young children. Workshop topics include: partner massage for labor, breastfeeding 101, baby development & milestones, sleep solutions, baby-wearing 101, benefits of Doulas, acupuncture during motherhood, making your own tasty baby food, infant massaging, and much more.

Kelly McBride, owner of Belly Pilates, Birth Doula, Childbirth Educator, and the tri-states’ only certified Master Instructor of Prenatal and Postpartum Pilates, comments, “The inspiration for creating a lengthy series of free workshops came from a real passion to provide specialized, expert information for a growing number of moms interested in taking a more natural approach to leading a healthier lifestyle for themselves and for their families. I’m so pleased to see how many ‘mompreneurs’ rallied behind me to offer such a well rounded line up! Not only do I welcome moms to explore the holistic services to be presented in many of these workshops, at no cost, but I encourage all parents to take advantage of this coming fall's series!”


All parents will receive goodie-filled Swag Bags upon their first visit to the Belly Workshops. Sponsors include: ERGO Baby Carriers, Moby Wraps, Mother’s Milk Tea, Lansinoh Cream, Bake 425, Baby POP, babyBdesigns, among others. Additionally, raffle prizes will be available for moms who attend three or more Free workshops.
