Botanically Curious is offering a little oasis on Congress St in Portland. Their warm, welcoming,…read moreseasonally decorated space is great for events (which they do a lot of, and I encourage you to check out their website for what's happening now), but also for a low pressure, low key, non-hurried, non-frenetic, quiet space to work from home at. The acoustics are good, the seating options are abundant and varied (whether you want to work from a stool at a high top table, or a couch, or a lounge chair), the staff is knowledgeable, and the drinks here? Wonderful. Described as "your friendly neighborhood herbalist" owner Paula - and staff! - are handcrafting remedies, drinks, and rituals in a cup. This educational apothecary has a rotating menu of teas, elixirs, and zero proof drinks. I had a non-caffeinated wellness latte recently that was intentionally created for slowing down, compassion, and emotional strength (made with tulsi tea, rose, cardamom, shatvari, vanilla, and oat milk) and it was one of the loveliest mugs of comfort I've had in a long time. Delicious (and visually beautiful!) from the first sip to the last. The mocktails I've had have all been well balanced and flavorful. The menu here does a good and reliable job at laying out whether a drink is tart or earthy or sweet or minerally or refreshing. If you don't know what you want to drink (or maybe what you want to work on emotionally), you can always just ask... they really have a wealth of information that they're sharing freely to leave you a little better then when you first entered their doors! (Also, tea lovers, this is a fantastic spot to grab traditional and unique blends from locally sourced ingredients!)

Botanically Curious is a herbalist storefront focused on holistic health. They not only serve up an…read moreever-changing assortment of delicious, mocktails with distinct health-related goals, but also offer classes, workshops, 1:1 consultations. They are all about supporting local, whether it be local farmers (the ingredients used in their elixirs and mocktails are local to Maine!) or supporting local female artists and entrepreneurs through the products they sell or the store's interior itself. The store is run by a team of dedicated, passionate women who are incredibly knowledgeable about their herbal apothecary.

Why five stars? One one occasion when they didn't have the medicine we needed, one of the pharmacists actually put on his coat and drove to another pharmacy to get it... WHILE WE WAITED! Is that awesome customer service. They have also stayed open for an extra ten minutes when I had to get my son's medication but couldn't make it there before closing. Can you believe that? What you get at ABD is old fashioned service that I thought perished from this planet in the 1950's. They smile, they are good natured and they will always do what ever they have to in order to get you your script, and all with a great attitude. I can't thank them enough!

I've suffered from bruxism, TMJ, and a whole host of jaw and sleep problem for years now…read more Then I had a session with Dan Katz, licensed physical therapist and acupuncturist at Wildwood Medicine. After one session, the entire right side of my face became un-clenched (and "unlocked" -- those with TMJ will know what I'm talking about). I cannot believe the huge improvement. I will definitely be going back to Wildwood Medicine (continued treatment is recommended, at least for a few weeks) for both this issue and other issues as well. Also, there are several things I really love about this clinic: -- EXTREMELY professional staff; I work in the healthcare industry, and I can say with confidence that the patient care and facilities here are top-notch -- They take credit/debit cards (unlike many other acupuncture places) -- They allow walk-ins! -- Sliding scale from $20-40 for each regular visit ($30-50 the first visit). This is SO much more affordable than the average practice, both in Maine and nationally. -- Beautiful, clean building -- Extremely knowledgeable acupuncturist (I think it definitely helps that he's a licensed physical therapist, too). Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will definitely be returning!

I've been a massage practitioner for over 10 years, and I have a great respect for people who care…read moreabout the work. Jessica is one of those people. As soon as she started working on me, I recognized that Thai Massage is more than a job to her, it is a craft. It is something that she actively studies, and as I later learned, has been actively studying for many years. Many therapists go to massage school for a year, then go to work, taking an occasional, often random class to learn something new. Jessica, on the other hand, consistently fine-tunes her work, works with a master to improve her abilities in Thai massage and Thai medicine. It's the difference between going to playing basketball in college for a year and then doing 7 years of pick-up games with your coworkers, vs. getting consistent coaching with a professional basketball player for 7 years straight. You get Really Good. This is a longwinded way of saying that I really respect Jessica's work, as well as her approach. Our session was both relaxing and effective. She did point-specific, deep tissue massage work in a way that was engaging, comfortable, fascinating, and peaceful. All I could think throughout the session was "How is she doing this?" and "Can I get this three times a week??" Also, she works in a really cool house that's been converted into a healing arts center. That was pretty awesome. Cheers!

I LOVE getting my thai massage from Jessica. At first, I had no idea what to expect. But Jessica…read moreis so calm and supportive, that I quickly realized that I was in good hands. Literally. I love to describe my experience with Jessica as a cross between a massage and a stretching work out - but one where I don't have to do anything! I really feel that receiving thai massage from Jessica is such a huge gift to my body, and really has helped me tune in and connect to my body, and move forward with some of my body issues. I've discovered where some of my little trouble areas are (and not so little!), and have learned a lot about how to relax more successfully. And, to top it all off, the fact that Jessica is also a yoga teacher that is able to give me customized yoga positions after knowing what exactly my body needs, is the icing on the cake. On top of all that, you can tell that Jessica truly cares about your body, and treats it in a loving, nurturing, affirming way. And is completely focused on helping you get what you need to progress into full harmony with your body & self.
