If a business name is reflective of the services they offer, then Belly Bliss definitely lives up to its name. I'm eight months pregnant and experience all the joys that come along with pregnancy including back pains, swollen hands and feet, leg cramps, etc. When I saw a Living Social offer for a prenatal massage, I quickly snagged that deal after reading all the glowing reviews on Yelp.
The spa is on the second floor of Desert Perinatal Associates. The ladies who work the reception area are very welcoming. There is a boutique, a room where they hold classes such as prenatal yoga, and the treatment rooms. They offer a snack bar with yummy munchies and cucumber water. (This amenity was much appreciated because I was starving after my massage.)
Shannelle was my massage therapist and she made me feel comfortable right away. The massage table had a special pillow with a cut out for my belly and my breasts. The simple act of lying down on my stomach was totally worth every penny! Shannelle focused on my lower back because that has been giving me the most problems and provided just the right amount of pressure. The massage table was really cool and high tech. It was like a hospital bed that could adjust up and down. I had a full body massage and felt like I went to heaven. I had never been so relaxed in my life. Other places offer prenatal massages but they have you lie on your side. I loved that I was able to lie on my stomach and then on my back to get the full effect of a massage.
I absolutely am in love with Belly Bliss. The spa is tailored for pregnant women and new moms. They offer merchandise and classes for the whole family including breastfeeding and childbirth classes. I'd love to take advantage of their other treatments and have already purchased a certificate for a future massage!
