Walking around Portland we noticed this store for what felt like the first time despite being in this area many times previously. While it looks as though they offer massages and yoga we only browsed the shop aspect. They are a very welcoming and accepting space. They had a good variety with a large majority of it being crystals, gemstones, and minerals. All of them were well labeled and described them well too. A well curated store and the staff were very friendly. Was worth our time visiting. read more

Beautiful little space with very friendly staff. Enjoyed my first ever reiki session may 1st. Will definitely go back.

I go here often. So thankful to have found them soon after moving to Portland. I have taken courses & done events (Reiki, Tarot, Yoga Nidra, Sound Bath), taken yoga classes (deep stretch & massage with Mel on Saturdays, yin yoga & reiki with Kristine on Wednesdays) that have been wonderful, powerful and challenging experiences, had readings with Anya & Niko that were informative, emotional and empowering, I have had several massages/bodywork with Mel & Circe. I have had energy work with Mel & Kristine. All have been positive, if not magical, transformative experiences. I have bought many crystals, tarot cards, and other cool items in the shop. I love supporting small, locally owned stores, and this one is special. The people that work there and the types of classes/events they have, the products they sell-cannot recommend them enough. read more

The staff at Arcana are the best! My wife and I have been coming for massages over the last 2 years, and we've always been happy with the quality of our service. As a queer-friendly place, we are grateful for the presence of this business in Portland! read more

Oh, hello pretty crystals. Oh, hello boho-inspired jewelry. Oh, hello locally made botanicals. I don't know why I've never been here before; I've been following them for years on social media, always mesmerized at their collection of healing natural items. I know they also do yoga and massage and other workshops, but I've only stopped in for a super cool acorn necklace for a gift for someone (though I do wish they came in assorted chain lengths; I ended up buying a longer chain so it would hang lower) and an iridescent sticker that says "Grateful As F*ck" which IDKW entertains me endlessly. Found some crystals here I hadn't seen at other similar shops nearby, so am excited to explore more! read more

I love love this crystal shop! This place has everything including crystals, tarot cards, jewelry, and much more! They have yoga classes and tarot card readings. I got a 15 min tarot card reading done during Merry Madness and it was amazing. The store has a great vibe and everything is reasonably priced! read more

I came here for shopping one of the last times I was in Portland. I found the most beautiful pair of quartz crystal earrings. They are really nice quality. I found they are slightly too heavy to wear everyday, but where I have found them really helpful is I wear them when Im doing meditations or clearing my space or intention setting. I have LOVED how functional they turned out to be! The space of Arcana is really inviting and inspiring. I highly recommend it here. I am not from Portland, but love to visit! The people who work seemed to be really aware of the whats going on in the area. If you are new to the area, I would recommend you stop by here not only to experience Arcana, but also if your looking for recommendations of sites to see in the area that might resonate. They will be most helpful! : ) Thank you! read more

I've been to Arcana twice for massages. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and both massages were excellent. I can't wait to go again! read more

This place has sadly gone downhill and it shows. I used to come once a month for massage and I was sadly surprised after not having been in for a year. Rude desk staff more interested in their phones than answering questions, both of the massage therapists I used to see have moved on and I understand why. It's a shame, this place used to be so cool and a little sanctuary- don't waste your time. Dirty tiny yoga room, don't get me started on the bathroom. I'm very surprised and extremely disappointed. Updated review-randomly logged into my yelp account a month later and the owner messaged me privately to tell me she looked for me online and couldn't find me in the system and said I'd never been in the store. Wow! Stay AWAY!!!! read more

Arcana is a store full of alternative healing therapies, local jewelry, art work, and various rooms for massages, tarot card readings, astrology, aura readings, etc. This is a store for someone else to review because most of this stuff really doesn't resonate with me. But the woman working at Arcana was very pleasant, the store was bright and attractive, and I wanted to see the place listed because some people are into this. Besides the water colors were beautiful scenes that had UFOs floating in the air. I thought that was cool. Check it out and see what you think. read more

Arcana - Massage Near Me - Portland, Maine

Arcana is an awesome shop and yoga center. The teachers are highly qualified and at the same time down to earth. Classes are carefully constructed, affordable, and leave you feeling at ease. I would recommend trying as many classes as you can - I've gone to almost all of them and done the yoga teacher training. It was deeply life changing. Even if you're in town briefly, the community is welcoming and fun - at my very first time there I knew I wanted to come back. I've been luck enough to continue volunteering there, and receive love and support from that community. Make sure you check out all the herbals and local jewelry, too! read more

Had my first yoga class in their studio with an amazing yoga instructor named Holly. She was very calm, relaxing, and smoothly brought the class through a gentle opening heart routine. If there were more advanced variations of a position she did great at walking the students through those while reassuring the beginners in the class it was okay to honor where you were within the practice and to listen to the body. I felt very in-tune with my body after her class and looking forward to many more. The store front part of Arcana is warm, inviting, and has lots of charm. They offer a wise spread of crystals, herbs, books, and other holistic health goods. The prices were comparable and the staff was friendly and able to answer any questions. Arcana also offers other services such as massages, acupuncture and psychic readings. read more

I was in desperate need of some work on my tight neck and shoulders, and I had an AMAZING 90-minute massage with Hayley today. She truly worked magic on me. She took plenty of time on my tight areas and I could feel my muscles releasing as she worked. I will definitely be back here again! read more

I popped into this store the other day. I was just wandering and not anticipating this to be a store for me. However, it really is a great place. I have even since returned to this place, only days after my first visit. First off, I was greeted so warmly by two ladies working there. I felt at ease exploring the store. But they gave me space to take it all. When I came upon a few items I had questions on, the lady working at the register was ready to help me. There are so many lovely gems and necklaces here. I actually ended up buying several wonderful items to be given as gifts. There is a great selection of teas and the staff is able to easily help guide on which one to get. The prices are really very reasonable! I believe they do readings and acupuncture too. Though I am not very familiar with how that all works. I do know is they carry many items that can make unique and thoughtful gifts. I purchased a cherry kava jubilee tincture that really seems to help with headaches. I say this place is worth exploring! read more

Arcana is a beautiful little shop downtown Portland that offers beautiful crystals, jewelry, essential oils, and great gifts. They also offer reiki, massage, yoga, readings, and other services. I make a stop in here every year for the holidays and my mom has loved every gift I've gotten her here. I just stopped in the other day to buy the matching necklace to a pair of earrings I bought her last Christmas. The prices are very fair for such beautiful jewelry! Last Christmas they had adorable tiny gold pinecone necklaces, but I didn't see them this year. I've still got my fingers crossed that she will make some more int he future! If you're looking for a present for a friend or even yourself, stop by! Everyone is always extremely friendly and helpful, too. read more

I had a reading with their resident clairvoyant that left me less than satisfied. I spent an hour sitting in a room with a woman I feel certain is a total fraud, whipping her hands in the air as if turning the pages of a book, as she explained the law of attraction to me (yeah, I watched that Oprah episode too, honey) and made reading recommendations - all for the low, low price of $100+. I'm embarrassed that I booked the appointment. When I listened to my recording of my session, I was just appalled that someone actually charges for this. What a joke. I do want to frame my review: this is a beautiful space, has a charming shop and the woman that greeted me when I arrived was exceptionally warm and considerate. My review is specifically of the practitioner that I saw, who I could not recommend under any circumstances. read more

I came to Arcana after my partner gave me a gift certificate for community acupuncture. I am still going, once a week, every week. Kate is one of the friendliest people I have ever encountered in a store. There is some really beautiful jewelry and crystals, but my favorite part so far has been the community acupuncture sessions from David. I have also been for a longer, massage/acupuncture session which was excellent. The rooms are really nice and I always leave with a huge smile on my face. read more

I went into this place because I saw "yoga" in the window and wanted to see what that was about. It turns out that they have a person who comes in and does therapeutic yoga mixed with Reiki one-on-ones in a body work room they have in the back. I ended up getting into a long conversation with the woman working the store about yoga. Very pleasant. The atmosphere of the store is calm. It was relaxing to peruse their goods, which consist of different herbs and woods for burning, jewelry, special rock, oils and herbal remedies, books, and other assorted goods of that nature. The prices were surprisingly low for the jewelry considering how nice it looked. Besides the yoga, Arcana also offers services including meditation classes, acupuncture, and psychc-type readings. Depending on your interests, Arcana could either be a nice place to hop into while you're out exploring, or even worth a special trip. I certainly enjoyed my visit there. read more

As the saying goes you're responsible for the energy you bring into a space and obviously they have done a wonderful job curating a space with great energy and even better offerings. read more

Arcana - They cant keep these acorn necklaces on the shelves. - Massage Near Me - Portland, Maine

My wife and I got back to back (no pun intended) massages from the same therapist. My wife loved her 60 minutes. My 90 minute was just ok. I have chronic low back pain which is partly due to tight glutes etc. How can you get a 90 minute massage and not get touched below the waist? I kinda sensed her mind was elsewhere and she was just mailing it in. Also, there was some kind of class going on outside the room with several women who would frequently break out in laughter....couldn't concentrate or relax. read more

Took my first class at Arcana yesterday, the chakra class and it was awesome! Small, cozy space with tall ceilings and modern. Water and tea available for guests. Welcome and friendly staff with a plethora of goodies, herbals, stones, etc. to buy. They also support the local community: the have items for a for a donation from a local CF family! Excited to continue my practice here. read more

Was in Portland for an extended weekend, stopped in this store to look around at all the crystals. Noticed a sign for massage services. Booked on the spot for the end of weekend. Massage was absolutely lovely with a little reflexology mixed in. Very nice and tranquil environment. I highly recommend and will have to go back when I back in Portland. read more

I received a massage from Hailey last week, and it was nothing short of magical. I've been coming to Arcana for years for energy work, massage, and unique gifts, and have never been disappointed. I'm a massage therapist myself and have had lots and lots of massages, and this last one really stood out. I went in for a 90 minute appointment with really distracting back and neck tension, left feeling a lot better, and woke up the next day with zero pain. Hailey has a really unique style and a warm, friendly vibe. She gave me some really spectactular deep tissue work but worked up to it gradually, and I almost fell asleep a couple of times. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be back to see her. read more

The light, love and sense of community that Arcana (as well as Arcana School of Yoga) embodies is felt the moment you walk through the door. Sacred. Authentic. Inclusive. A truly magical place. My experience as a student of the Arcana School of Yoga 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training was a positively transformative experience that is difficult to put into words. I am so grateful and blessed to have trained with some of the best in the business. Arcana holds a special place in my heart and will be a part of my yoga family, forever. Om Shanti! read more

As one of the practitioners at Arcana, I have been witness to it's amazing growth / evolution over the past year! (May marks the one year anniversary of being open!) The owner, Kate Hebold, is a very intelligent & conscientious owner, director, organizer and healer. Kate is always gracious and considerate of many variables when negotiating time & space for practitioner & client. My working with her has been purely a joy and one that makes my life as a healer-practitioner so much easier. She creates a safe space for healing so that there are few distractions and the work at hand can be done smoothly. The store offers so many options for healing, education & lovely artisan jewelry- plus more! ~Namaste! read more

love this business!!! i asked my mom to stop in to Arcana on a trip of hers to pick some things up for me. i live in northern maine so finding crystals,tarot cards,sage exc is really not a option up here. i spoke with kate on the phone and she was super nice and really eager to help. among all the awesome things i got that day was a beautiful necklace. about a week after i had it my daughter reached up and broke the chain. my mother called kate and asked if she'd be willing to send a chain up. she graciously worked with us and even sent a few sage sticks as well. what a great business with wonderful souls and excellent customer service!!! i would highly recommend stopping in. read more
