La Bella Belly Pregnancy Spa & Ultrasound Center

Ohhh, the praises I could sing about this place –but no one wants me to sing so I’ll just write instead. So tranquil. So peaceful. At 35 weeks pregnant, my back and sciatic nerves were screaming in pain. I got the Ultimate Pregnancy package. My lower legs and feet were in heaven for those 20 minutes during the massage (and the smells — pure delight). Now into the 80 min massage. Um, I’m going back. No one can stop me. It was relaxing and pain free, the pressure applied to each area was perfect — the masseuse really listened to me! I even had to go to the bathroom halfway through the massage — again, made to feel like it was an every day thing and no rush! At 37 weeks now, if I make it to 38 weeks, I’m going back. I can even go back for post natal massages!

Love this place the Sono tech was so helpful, our baby was being difficult but she was patient and got the pictures we wanted :-)

Had a 50 min couples massage and pedicure with my husband. The massage was amazinnnnnngg and did so much for my achey preg back and body. We added the foot and hand treatment, I will definitely opt for the longer 80 min next time and we are definitely planning on going again before baby arrives in March. The staff really pampered us, everything felt organized and relaxed.
I would, however, skip on pedicure. I thought it was kind of a waste of time and not as relaxing or nice as going to a regular nail salon. The foot tubs don’t have jets and the nail polish was old I think, mine did not dry well.

Just left after an 80 minute massage and foot revival. Hands down the best prenatal massage spa! The staff, treatments, and the facility itself are exceptional. I drive an hour just for this place!

I’ve had two ultrasounds in the last month, and today I had a prenatal massage and pedicure. The overall experience was okay. I feel a lot of this place is in the nice appearance and décor. I wouldn’t recommend or return for pedi or massage, but I would for ultrasound.
Ultrasounds: The room is spacious with seating for several people. The tech was very sweet and knowledgable. She was genuinely engaged in our experience and was diligently trying to get good views. Baby wouldn’t cooperate! We walked up front and she let the young lady at the front desk know we’d need to do another visit. The young lady was kind of rude about scheduling our follow up. Our second ultrasound we had the same tech again and luckily were able to get better views. Both sessions were on the dvd. The only think I’d change is the background music! I wish we would we had the option of silence vs the music.
Pedicure: The tech was very nice and conversational. The process included soaking feet, trimming and filing nails, moisturizing cuticles, lotioning feet, and nail polish. They use Zoya Polish only which is nice since it is non toxic. I’m not sure what kind of base coat and top coat are used, but my polish did not turn out so well. LOVE the color but it did not go on evenly and bubbles formed on every toe nail. I stayed under the dryer for 20 minutes and it still wasn’t dry. It has been 2.5 hours since I left and it’s still tacky. I bumped one while taking pics and polish came off. :(I’ve included pictures — not sure what happened.
Massage: They supply comfy robes and slippers, and you lock your belongings up in a locker area. If you’ve never had a massage or have only frequented Massage Envy, then you’ll probably like the massage just fine. If you’ve ever experienced a very highly skilled massage, then you’ll find this massage lacking. It was relaxing and peaceful, and the massage therapist was friendly.

First off I want to say that this isn’t my first ultrasound here, but third. I’ve had two ultrasounds with two different pregnancies here. For my gender reveal ultrasound I was given a $ 25 off voucher, which I lost and when I called, I spoke to the owner and she said she would honor it even though they are transitioning to a new program. Well I called and made my appt not knowing or being told that they had put a note that it had expired and that they would not honor it. So we arrived 15 minutes prior to our scheduled appt and I’m told that it isn’t being honored. After waiting 10 – 15 minutes with the receptionist trying to figure out what’s going on and how to resolve the situation they finally grant us the discount. Well, we get taken back into the room by the tech who was super sweet, BUT I don’t feel she really knew what she was doing. It took 10 minutes to try and get amniotic fluid pics, which is fine but even my husband didn’t think she knew how to use the computers all that well. We also didn’t get any pics of our baby and after three babies that has never happened! I just feel from start to finish this visit was a bust and definitely disappointed! Especially after such good previous visits.

I can only speak for the massage/​therapy services, not the ultrasound portions since I didn’t do that.
I went in for an 80-​minute pregnancy massage and a hot stone facial since I just entered my third trimester and was feeling pretty achy and icky. The spa is located in a very nice neighborhood in Rowlett, very convenient off I-​30 and easy to find. Not a lot of parking but you should be fine. The spa is extremely clean and quiet, and has a posh atmosphere from the moment you walk in. The front desk girl greeted me with a lot of warmth and led me to a small, cozy room where I changed into a plush robe and slippers and put my things in a locker. They have a table of snack items (crackers, cookies, trail mix, etc) and purified ice-​cold water for mommies to snack on while you wait.
When I was settled, she took me back into the room where I was going to get my facial. I was made comfortable on a spa bed in a very dim, soft room with nature music playing. The facial was INCREDIBLE. I had a very relaxing facial and scalp massage, lots of moisturizers and cleansing milks and masks, and while a mask was on and a hot towel wrapped around my neck, my girl gave me an amazing foot and calf massage that felt beyond divine. When my facial was finished, my skin felt unbelievably smooth and hydrated and I was so relaxed.
I was taken back to the waiting room for a brief moment while my masseuse, Desiree, set up the room and then she led me back there. She asked a few questions about my pregnancy thus far and where my worst aches were and then I got settled on my side with the pillows. She was terrific. It felt so nice and I was so relaxed that I actually dozed off about 30 minutes into the massage. At the halfway mark she had me flip onto my other side so that she could work the opposite muscles. She did everything from my scalp to my toes, focusing on the areas I’d told her were bad. I was always covered by a soft fleecy sheet anywhere she wasn’t working on, so I never got cold or uncomfortable.
At the end of each service the girls met me with cold water and bright smiles. When I went to check out, I wound up buying one of the extremely soft and cute birthing nightgowns they sell in the front lobby. They gave me coupons toward a future visit as well as a sample of their stretch mark tummy-​butter cream.
The place isn’t cheap but for what you get, it’s well worth the pampering experience. I felt truly spoiled as they doted over me, and I left relaxed and hydrated and feeling wonderful. Will definitely recommend it to all other mommies-​to-​be I know!
Pro-​tip: On their site they have a prescription download form. If your doctor/​OBGYN recommends a prenatal massage for you, this can be covered by your insurance!

The most unprofessional sonogram technicians/​management. When I was pregnant with my now 5 month old I went to get a sonogram to reveal the gender if my baby. They told me 75% boy and I was so excited. I later found out (same day) that it was 100% girl. Fast forward a few months, my best friend went in to check the gender of her baby. They told her the gender of the baby is in the sealed envelope she was going to give the bakery to make a cake as she was going to have a gender reveal party that night. They told her they were 100% of the results. My best friend spent $ 300 for her gender reveal party and the cake revealed it was a girl. She went and bought so much clothes with many she couldn’t return because of 3 day return policy, as well as gave away all her baby boy clothes she had previously kept from her other boys. She painted the baby room and was fully prepared for a girl. A month later she had a doctors appointment and the doctor asked her if she knee the gender and she was confident and replied with a yes. He told her so you are having a third boy and that’s when she was fuming with anger. We called the spa and they said they couldn’t refund the money until the baby was born to make sure which is complete bullshit since she already spent and lost $ 100’s. She has gone to multiple dr appts since with her gyno and high risk and each time it’s still a boy. She is due next month but we still can’t get over the bullshit results.

I had a wonderful pregnancy massage there. I will definitely be going back. I just wish I would have gone in the first 7 months of my pregnancy! Why did I wait so long? It is so relaxing and definitely helps with aches and pains.
