Let the rest of the world fantasize about tropical vacations. Even with our placenta brain, we can't help but imagine relaxing facial masks and a back rub.
But now that Som Visao is open (and till 9 pm five days a week!) on South Granville Rise, we can make this dream into a reality. Made for Mamas and Mamas-in-the-Making, we start off with Registered Massage Therapist Carrie Smith ($120 for 60 minutes). Next, we indulge in Aesthetician Jennifer Harding's Purifying facial ($125), which includes a seaweed mask to regulate sebum production, oxygenate the skin, and restore balance. But our favourite pregnancy indulgence has to be the Little Piggy Bundle ($270), a 20-minute baby-watching session using their 3D/4D Ultrasound Entertainment Imaging system, followed by a two-hour anti-swelling pedicure and leg treatment, complete with plush robes and candles.
Afterwards, we can't believe how well our ankle swelling has subsided. (If only we could see them past our belly.)
