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.

If you are considering TMS treatment with Bishop Health, but are maybe on the fence, just do it…read more TMS Tech MK Fitzgerald is amazing at what she does. She is an expert in her craft, and more importantly, will put any anxiety you have at ease. She is an asset to Bishop Health, and the mental health community in general. Don't hesitate, do it!

My mother and my father have benefitted from NER in the past 2 years (2025-26)…read more No one wants to need these services, but they are amazing. The facility is dated but well maintained. The food is borderline unhealthy, but no one is going to starve. However, the care is exceptional. My mother ended up here at 86 after a major emergency abdominal surgery - she thrived and returned to baseline. After dealing with "regular" (but very fancy) rehab for our father (88) after a fall, we transferred him to NER in a pique of frustration. Staff was fabulous and, most importantly, communicated reality. Dad's outcome was less positive - but NER was honest with us where regular rehab was clearly just stringing us along. We had already paid for a very nice assisted living spot for Dad - and ultimately felt the regular rehab just churned Medicare for money. NER was efficient and honest. They helped with the difficult discussions with Dad about not returning home. If I won the lottery - I would help them build a better facility - but the staff here is top notch.

He also developed bed sores at the state funded nursing facility he was in. After a year they had not healed. After long legal issues, insurance came through, and I flew him here. I had found a great shortage of beds in the area, and some places were down right rude, wouldn't call back, one even hung up on me, when I got persistent. Seaside was none of that. They immediately gave me a tour, and I found a warm caring environment. This is not easy in this profession. Coming up on a one year anniversary, with NO complaints. Even the janitorial staff say Hi to my brother by his first name when he wheelchairs by. Oh, and his bed sores were healed in a matter of months, and are still gone...

They told me it would be a $40 copay each session which felt steep, but they said it was the "most effective dosing" and referred me to a graph on a poster. After my first session, I told them that I didn't think my insurance would cover parts of treatment and that I was concerned with getting billed. I asked Dr Zagwyn to confirm with billing that it would only be a $40 copay and she did. Then I get a bill for $300 followed by an email that they had made an error but I was still responsible for the bill. I should also mention that while going through their many stations there is a lot of inappropriate conversation between staff as they "work" on you. There are many other honest chiropractors in town. Very disappointed with lack of transparency here.

The space is calming, the treatments are thoughtful and precise, and the results have been positive, but most importantly leave me feeling better than when I walked in.

I also really appreciate her holistic approach--there's a genuine sense of support around energy healing and overall well-being that makes each visit feel deeply restorative.

After seeing many practitioners and struggling with traditional dermatology, Alexa got me on an herbal and acupuncture regimen and gave targeted diet changes that help calm my body down so it could begin to recover. I continue to receive monthly acupuncture because I can see that it keeps my body regulated. She always knows where to target on any given day. Alexa is a perfect blend of ancient knowledge, modern practicality, and mysticism.

Dr. Gass is a miracle worker…read more After a fall on black ice last winter and injuring myself I tried PT for 6 sessions and they said oh just six more sessions even though I was getting worse, and I saw an Osteopath in South Portland who also made me worse during the second session when I told her she was hurting me and didn't stop until the third time I asked. It just seemed like I would need surgery or would have to live with chronic pain that was affecting my quality of life since no one seemed to be able to help me. Recently I saw Dr. Gass for a total of two thirty minute sessions (the first one was to undo the damage the previous osteopath had done to me along with an initial treatment.) Her technique was painless for me, very gentle, and I can't believe that weeks later I still am pain-free and just as mobile as I was before I fell. I may go back for a maintenance treatment if needed. Thank God for competent, compassionate healers!
