Woodhouse Spa
All four locations of Woodhouse Spa (in Fort Worth, Dallas, Highland Village and Plano) offer 50- and 80-minute prenatal massages for expecting moms. During a full-body massage, performed by a licensed massage therapist, you’ll be slathered in oil rich in marine extracts and omega-3s to help with those developing stretch marks. Expecting moms must be in the second or third trimester to receive a prenatal massage, but they can come in for facials and pedicures during the first trimester. Looking for a little extra pampering on your feet too? Consider booking the Mother-to-Be package, which includes a prenatal massage and rejuvenation pedicure.
