Im shocked to have stumbled upon a negative review for belly love spa because I am 30 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child and have gotten pretty much every service they have to offer and felt the staff was extremely friendly, assertive and very accommodating!!! I was actually at best buy over the holidays and couldnt wait for this place to open because I was expecting and this was the first place catering specifically to pregnant women and to my pleasant surprise opening soon. I felt bad because I was actually calling this place like everyday to find out when they were going to finally be open. Additionally, with 1 older "active" child and one on the way, other pregnant moms-to- be can relate to how tired and stressed out one can get with all this water weight and fatigue that pregnant women frequently feel (in addition to having a kid already) so luckily I was able to really treat myself to a mani/pedi, facial, wax services and a much needed massage. Honestly, the massage therapist was this very experienced massage therapist (certified in maternity massages) named Silvia (I think that was her name) was amazing!! This was literally the best massage I have ever gotten and she was very professional, which was nice. I felt terrible because I actually dozed off during the massage, but it was that relaxing!!!! Im trying my best to get back to the spa within the next week or so to get another massage done ASAP by this girl who is amazing and I have been telling everyone I know about her and this spa. Unfortunately for me, I also have terrible allergies and the hormones arent working on my behalf for my "pregnancy glow" so I went with a facial and the girl who did my facial was super assertive and very knowledgeable which Ive never had an aesthetician do for me. She massaged the "lymphatic drainage" area of my face and honestly, this has been one of the only things that alleviated my allergies and also relaxed me at the same time. I highly recommend this place!!! As if those services werent relaxing and amazing enough, I also scheduled my 3D/4D ultrasound for a week later and obtained some of the most beautiful 3D/4D pictures. My family flew in from Colombia and they were able fit all of us in the room for an amazing and breathtaking glimpse of my beautiful princess Mya. I really feel that technology has come really far in 4 years because 4 years ago, I went to a tiny office in Fort Lauderdale near Cypress Creek, which was really a tiny office that felt like a weird doctors office and the images werent very clear of my son at the time and to top it off they gave me a CD in a ghetto little nameless sleeve. ;) Either way, back then I was excited to have gotten even a tiny glimpse at my baby boy (who is now 4) and chalked it up to my son not wanting to get photographed instead of the tech being incompetent. At the end of the day, I think people try to do the best they can with what they have. I just feel that belly love spa (which again is specifically for pregnant women) was so amazing in comparison to that little office. I honestly feel that this place is obviously new, but I felt very pampered and felt like everything they had was extremely baby friendly as well as natural (which is important to so many of us with recent news that pretty much everything is bad for us and our babies). I will go back every week until Mya is born. I loved the spa and the staff and hope people will give it a try because I had an amazing experience all around. I totally wish they wouldve had a spa like this when I was pregnant with my son 4+ years ago that catered specifically to pregnant women. =) 5 stars for this place!!!!

Im 32 weeks pregnant and decided to schedule an appointment for the Great Expectations Package that included the Twice as Nice 3d/4d ultrasound & Spa Service (I chose the Massage) Upon entering this beautiful location, I felt very hopeful and excited for my 1st 3D/4D experience. This joyful feeling depleted quickly; The technician "Eve" was extremely conjested, making painful breathing exhale sounds that only intensified as moaned and groaned about not being able to get a clear picture. Extrememly unprofessional. She did not know how to adjust the settings on the machine or achieve the images that "she wanted". She kept making this about herself. She made it seem like maybe my fluid or the positioning of the baby was the reason we were not getting ANY clear images (Literally just images of block). After trying for a good 15-20 minutes, she decided we were not getting the desired results and proceeded to call the owner, still not briefing my family that it was her and the machine that were having issues, not me. Add in the fact that my mother drove over 25 miles to experience this with us and now they were looking to reschedule. It was the owner who finally admitted that they had someone come in to give them a warranty on the machine and thought that the settings had been readjusted and wanted to have someone come out and look at it, but I would need to reschedule. Although her intentions were good her apologizes came across as a desperate pleading. Before I had the chance to brief the owner about her incompetant technician, she came running in to join our conversation and proceeded to say "Im upset about this." Who does this lady think she is? Maybe if she relaxed her tone and acted like a professional I wouldnt have been so angry. I still decided to get my massage, after all of this commotion I needed to unwind and relax. This place really needs more decoration and some painting. The masseuse was amazing, the most professional person I had encountered that whole day. Afterwards I rescheduled my ultrasound & continued on my way. As soon as I got in my car I called an experience 3d/4d ultrasound location and made an appointment for later on that afternoon. They had no problem what so ever retrieving amazing images of my baby girl. My advice if you decided to go to this location is to make sure your Tech is not Eve, they learn how to use their machines, and dont have family travel to join you. Maybe after some experience and working out the kinks this place has alot of potential, it really is sad.

BEYOND OBSESSED WITH BELLY LOVE! Went there for my first prenatal massage & 3D/4D Ultrasound last weekend, and Im already planning my next trip back. Belly Love came highly recommended by my doula & midwife because their massage therapists are prenatal certified to the highest degree and because their ultrasound techs have the same amount of schooling and degrees as the sonographers in my doctors office, which is very rare with other local ultrasound centers. Amanda & Lindsey greeted me with complete excitement and passion for the spa. It was as if they had known me my entire life. They were SO adorable too. I started my day with the Twice as Nice Ultrasound with Nicole and couldnt believe my eyes when my babys face showed up on the big screen. Nicole was awesome and completely professional, even when my husband started cracking jokes about my pregnancy. I received a DVD of the entire appointment of the live movement of my baby girl, Bella! Its even recorded to adorable Disney music. She then recorded Bellas heartbeat on a little device and I was able to choose a stuffed animal from their adorable collection. After my ultrasound, it was time for my much anticipated spa day. Nikki greeted me with open arms before taking me back for my massage. I seriously dont have words to describe how incredible this massage was. I have received spa treatments from 5 star hotels all over the world, and nothing compares to the prenatal massage I received that day. It was as if she read my mind and knew every ache and pain in my body. This woman had magical hands! She was completely aware of my discomforts, aches, and pains as she went through the massage. It was absolutely blissful. Im so relieved that you dont have to be pregnant to receive spa treatments at Belly Love because Im going to remain a regular. Whether youre pregnant or not, go to Belly Love. You wont regret it.
