Reviews of Portland City Massage

Alessandra Bosco

Jeannine is a total pro. She was so thorough in her intake and pre-massage discussion. And her skills are just outstanding -- great pressure and technique. I felt comfortable and reassured by her level of knowledge and care. Her space is is beautiful, serene, and clean. I can't wait to come back!

Jeannine provided an incredible massage experience. I enjoyed the booking process because she takes the time to reach out though a phone call to have a open discussion about what you are looking for in the massage. She provides the perfect amount of email communication confirming your appointment, sending one reminder, and providing a follow up email to see how you're doing. She's thoughtful in her business and her massage practice. The massage itself was was a great blend of focusing on trouble areas and taking time to touch on the whole body. She has a "massages shouldn't be painful" method which I am a firm believer now. She even let's you choose your own Spotify playlist (come prepared!). Highly recommend Jeannine and Portland City Massage!

Found Jeannine online after Sage Wellness closed and just had my first session. Jeannine was great with communication about covid safety and was warm and welcoming at the appointment. The space is really cute and quiet. I have seen many massage therapists with a range of styles, and Jeannine’s approach was both relaxing and helpful to easing a muscle spasm that was irking me. Highly recommend this place!

I feel so lucky to have reconnected with Jeannine over this last year. Her work as a massage therapist is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. This spring I had a complete reconstruction of my ACL and have been struggling with prolonged swelling. Jeannine’s manual lymphatic drainage work on my knee has provided some much needed natural pain relief as well as a significant and visible decrease in swelling after each treatment. The scar work Jeannine did also helped relieve some of the tightness and pulling sensation I was getting with in the tissue. Thank you for being part of my care team!!

Jeannine is absolutely fantasic! I don't think I can ever go anywhere else now because no one will compare! She is so caring and rreally understands your complaints, even finds knots you didn't know you had! A very relaxing experience as well and she's just a wonderful person.

I met Jeannine over ten years ago when I redeemed a gift for a prenatal massage. That gift turned out to be so much more than a singular appointment, it provided an introduction to a therapist who has delivered exceptional care ever since. Jeannine has been able to offer me her healing hands through pre- and postnatal care, treatment for residual athletic injuries, stress of work, acute pain flare-ups, and the occasional “just because” treatments. I have always felt comfortable, cared for, and safe on her table. I appreciate that Jeannine is active in her profession, dedicated to continued education, and can offer different modalities and techniques to her clients. She has a wonderful combination of practical wisdom and professionalism mixed with amazing intuition and a kind spirit. She listens! Jeannine consistently accommodates my varying degree of needs by checking in, asking for feedback and being responsive in her methods of individualizing care. Jeannine encourages me to be an active part in my treatment by putting me to work with passive resistance stretches or offering me suggestions for moves I can do at home. She is open to ideas and interested to know what works for me. During our sessions, I can ask her to focus on a specific issue, whether it be tight hips, a sore neck, or ask for what I call her “relaxation special,” a good once over of head, neck shoulders and back. She knows my prior injuries and goes slow and probes for feedback. She knows my tough spots, where deep pressure is the only thing that brings me relief. She has smooth transitions and reminds me to breathe if I forget. I’ve been through a few different locations with Jeannine. The space she currently occupies offers a number of advantages over her previous locations, making it easy to relax. It’s quiet and warm in the winter, comfortable in the summer. There may be gaps of time between my sessions, but I have always come back to track down her reliable knowledge, smile and of course, skilled massage. Every session is an extraordinary healing experience. You will want more than one session with Jeannine, so book ahead. My husband knows that he cannot go wrong with a gift certificate to Foster Wellness. I am extremely grateful for the years and years of having such talented and reliable care available to me. I highly recommend Jeannine to anyone looking for a remarkable, therapeutic massage experience. Thank you Jeannine, for your continued care!

My visit with Jeannine was a breath of fresh air. I am a massage therapist myself, and I was recommended to her by another massage therapist friend. She works with the fascia with equal parts delicateness and firmness, which is just what my body needed and is what produces results. I especially appreciate her approach - light, slow, methodical, and firm. My body was able to completely relax. Easy to book with, professional, calm space, and really hit the nail on the head in terms of what I hope to get from a massage!

Christopher Emery

I'm very thankful for the skillful and careful work by Jeannine. As a regular runner/athlete, the session was quickly helpful for muscle tension in my legs that regular stretching and massaging couldn't quite resolve. Scheduling and communication was very easy and helpful. I felt very comfortable with the care and knowledge regarding my health and expertise in the specialty, and plan to be back for future help!

Meghan Cushing

I have had a wonderful experience working with Jeannine! She is kind, thoughtful, and professional. Her space is inviting and welcoming. I already feel amazing after just one session. Jeannine is incredible to work with! I would recommend her to everyone.

Terri Petnov

Thanks to Jeannine at Portland City Massage my flexibilty has improved dramatically from old scar tissue related previous surguries. It was a relaxing and healing experience that has positively impacted my daily movements. So happy to have met Jeannine and impressed with how she interpreted my individual needs into her talented response.

Kate Gerencer

I highly recommend Jeannine at Foster Wellness. I feel balanced, rested and pain-free after Jeannine's wonderful massages! She is highly skilled and experienced and knows just what to do to meet my goals. Her office is lovely and centrally located. Jeannine is caring, tailors massages for each client according to their needs, and makes suggestions for self care. She is a Certified Personal Trainer and specializes in sports massage, too.

Judith Dickson

By far, the most effective massages I’ve ever had. Jeannine understands sport injuries and has been a crucial factor in my healing over the past year. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a therapeutic experience in a very relaxing environment.

Caroline Koelker

I highly recommend the massage experience with Jeannine at Foster Wellness. Whether I'm going in for a relaxing massage or need to work through pain caused from muscle tension or poor alignment, Jeannine exhibit great skill and takes care to listen, understand, and address needs. Her extensive training provides the assurances I need to be able to best enjoy and benefit from my massage.

Jennifer Barriault

Foster Wellness is fantastic. I met Jeannine after referral from my sports physician. She took the time to explore my injury and find out the most efficient way to maximize therapy. She worked with me through marathon training and it made a huge difference. I still see her for maintenance and will definitely be heading back there every few weeks during my next training cycle. Not too mention — her place is relaxing and cozy and she is so attentive to email / phone conversation. She goes out of her way to be flexible for your schedule. I cannot say enough!

Olga LaPlante

Jeannine treats her clients with great care and a genuine concern for their well-being. She is well-versed in a variety of techniques; my favorites are deep tissue (which she focuses on target areas) and the kind where she guides you and you participate in the treatment. I wish I could afford massage more often instead of just occasionally. Foster Wellness is conveniently located close to my work, I don't think there are a lot of providers in the Rosemont area.

I had been to many massage therapists over the years and although many were good, their techniques weren’t exactly what I was looking for. Then about 4 years ago I found Jeannine. First of all she listens and applies ample, steady pressure in the areas where it’s needed. I have arthritis in my hands and sometimes I will book a session just to focus on my arms and hands, which helps improve the flexibility in my fingers. Her full body massage provides total relaxation, in fact I usually find myself dozing off. She also incorporates some stretching of muscles into the massage which is helpful. I always leave totally relaxed and the treatment stays with me for several days after. I’m glad I found her. I recommended her to my neighbor who has been very pleased as well. I highly recommend her.

Sandra Haskell

I have been seeing Jeanine for a few years now for chronic pain (back/neck/feet). She is fabulous, professional and extremely pleasant. One of my favorite things is that she is always willing to offer suggestions for things I can do at home to help with certain pain point areas (stretches, tips and tricks). The massages are amazing and I always leave feeling refreshed, pain free and totally relaxed! I also love when she uses the cupping technique to get deep into my muscles. Her office is conveniently located in Portland at the same location as my chiropractor!

Betta S

Jeannine is wonderful! I always leave less sore, more relaxed, and with less back/neck pain. She listens carefully to where I'm feeling pain and she does a great job! I wish I could afford to go every week! If you book a massage with her you won't regret it!

claire brogan

I recently had complete knee replacement with several complications which my Out Patient Therapy was compromised due to sciatica nerve issues and adhesions around my knee. Jeannine has worked closely with Scott Lemelin from Advance Physical Therapy who is my outpatient PT. I have felt positive results due to Jeannine working on several areas to release the accumulation of adhesions plus reducing my sciatica issues. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jeannine Foster from Foster Wellness, I am very pleased.

I have been going to Foster Wellness for years... and I promise you, these are amazing massages at a very reasonable price! Jeannine is extremely skilled and knowledgeable...and no matter how bad I seem to mess up a muscle..she is able to provide immediate and noticeable relief. Thank you Jeannine @ Foster Wellness!!!

Emily Dunuwila

Jeannine is my go-to therapist for specific injuries or trouble spots. She is so knowledgeable about anatomy and has a wealth of experience. Such a gem for anyone—especially if you need detailed, specific work!

Cynthia Dill

Jeannine listens carefully to me and my muscles and does great work healing and nurturing my achy body. She's also super professional, clean and doesn't talk too much. Highly recommend!

ANGEL CRAY

Fantastic place to get a massage, Jeannine really know what she is doing!

Lennie Ogden

I go here once a month for a whole body tune-up. It is wonderful. And if I am having a problem with a particular area, Jeannine concentrates on that. She is very knowledgeable and pleasant to be with. I don't feel like I have been beaten up when she is through. Just relaxed. Highly recommended.

Hannah Sawyer

My first massage, and I am hooked! Jeannine provided pain relief and helped correct issues with my neck, shoulders, and back.

Jill McCain

Jeannie is the best. I visit her whenever I am in Maine, and always try to convince her to move to back to Boston with me. She is friendIy, skilled and listens well to what you want/don't want. I've been to lots of places around Boston and have never found someone who comes even close to her. Definitely worth a trip to her office if you're in the Portland area.

Mary Rhoads

Excellent sports massage! She really targeted all the right muscles. It's also a convenient location with a small off-street parking lot.

kris gould

Jeannine has a depth of knowledge that allows her to diagnose and treat with care and skill. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment ASAP - She is truly the best!

Sandi Lemmerman

Allen has his monthly visit with Jeannine: he comes home refreshed, in good spirits and armed with new information. One solid hour of massage therapy!!
