Wellness & Support for Mothers in Milan
Located in the heart of Milan, Kalila Community is a warm and welcoming space dedicated to wellness during pregnancy and motherhood. It offers everything parents might need before and after birth – from expert-led courses to personal support – all with a strong commitment to quality and care.
At Kalila, all professionals speak both English and Italian, ensuring international families feel fully supported. The centre runs birth preparation classes and workshops on key topics such as navigating hospital options and patient rights, breastfeeding, sleep, and starting solids.
Founded by Kathy Moulton, Kalila (meaning “dearly loved”) reflects her passion for creating a nurturing community for mothers. Beyond courses and talks, parents can book one-to-one sessions with trusted professionals including an osteopath, massage therapist, psychologist, nutritionist, midwife, hypnobirthing practitioner, doula, and more.
A free weekly meet-up for mums takes place every Wednesday (10:00–12:00), and on other mornings, families can drop in for tea or coffee, a friendly chat, and a relaxed space where little ones can play.
Kalila Community offers practical guidance and emotional connection for expat parents navigating pregnancy or early motherhood in a new country. It’s an inclusive, bilingual environment where mums can meet others, share experiences, and access trusted professionals – all under one roof.

I had the opportunity to wear and use the KalilaSportswear during the last period of my pregnancy (from the 30th until the 38th week). The clothes are really comfortable and give the right support during the training. The zipper on the jacket are perfect and allow you to wear it comfortably also in the last weeks of your pregnancy, when your belly is enormous. I would really recommend these sportswear to all pregnant woman who like to keep moving and can’t wait until in a few weeks I am allowed to do sports again and thus can continue to wear the clothes.

That’s an excellent recommendation. I took so many classes there : birth preparation courses, pregnancy yoga, Mom and Baby yoga (with both my sons). The new location is even better, feels like home. I keep recommending Kalila Community to all the moms I meet.
I would highly recommend the Kalila community to all (prospective) mums. Having moved to Milan 3 months pregnant not being able to speak Italian, the Kalila community was really supportive – both in navigating me through the Italian systems for prenatal care as well as of emotional support (being new, not knowing anyone in the city and not speaking the language). I joined their pre-natal yoga classes twice a week as well as the birth course together with my husband. It’s a very welcoming and caring space, which I really appreciated. Plus through both the yoga and the birth course I have met some lovely other mums who I can now call my friends.
