I had a fantastic 90-minute massage with Nick Deforest at Southern Maine Massage and Wellness. After weeks of traveling with a heavy backpack and a fatigued body, I left feeling completely refreshed. Nick's technique was excellent--he really knows how to work out tension, and it's clear he has top-notch training (he went to massage school in New York, which has some of the strictest requirements). The massage bed was super comfortable, and the entire environment was very relaxing. On top of that, Nick was a fun conversationalist. Since this was my first time in the area, he gave me plenty of great recommendations for Portland and other cities I'll be visiting. It was like getting a mini travel guide along with a great massage! If you're looking for a high-quality massage and some local tips, I highly recommend Southern Maine Massage and Wellness. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town! read more

My son bought us membership to this place last year and this was actually the second time we used the service. Me and my wife both have deep tissue massages and we're both very happy and very well satisfied with the service.I had Janine as my therapist and she was very kind and knowledgeable.She's very good on what she does. Because of the pandemic you can't go inside at once ,you need to stay in your car and wait for the text of your therapist telling you that she's ready. The atmosphere inside the room is very relaxing and they also offer lots of services including facials and spa. Since that they are a Co-op their price is so affordable compared to the other massage parlors and you have to be a member to avail their services.Lastly, they don't accept walk-ins so reservations is a must. read more

I went to the new Windham location today for a spa package. I received an integrative massage, a microdermabrasion treatment, scalp treatment & some time in the infrared sauna. It was very relaxing! I recommend this business! They did a great job. read more

I was so excited to get my Brazilian Sugaring done here.. I'd gotten it done somewhere else in Maine, and explained to my water that I was disappointed in that experience as I ended up getting ingrowns after. She assured me this wouldn't be my experience. Well, I trusted that this wouldn't be my experience, but not only did I get the most ingrowns I ever got after a sugaring, but she didn't even leave me fully sugared Why did I check myself and there were LITERALLY grown hairs still down there. Complete waste of money. Would not recommend or go back. I'll drive 1.5 hours to Boston to get it properly and carefully done. read more

Savings is amazing I wish I had more time to go do self care work. I recommend buying the co-op membership it pays for itself they offer foot soaks massage waxing facials read more

Southern Maine Massage & Wellness - The building from the parking lot - Massage Therapy Near Me - Windham, Maine

I tried this place a few years back and have not spent my money elsewhere for a massage in the Greater Portland area. Don't let the outside fool you. You may drive up to an older looking house but the inside is pure bliss. They have done a phenomenal job of making every room inviting and warm and cozy. Every single practitioner I have gone to there is absolutely amazing but this review is for Lindsey Hersey specifically. When we were done, she had mentioned her 17 years of experience and it was clear that not only does she have experience, but she enjoys what she does. So very intuitive with every part of my body work session. Thank you SoPo Massage. You forever have my business read more

Last Saturday we celebrated my daughter's 30th birthday we had a soak And sip party with 4 great bottles of wine and snacks. Nick and the girls were Fabulous and I would highly recommend this place and idea. Had a blast read more

I found out about Southern Maine Massage and Wellness through another Yelper. I had been whining about my love of hot water soaks and how cold it was outside, and she heartily recommended I check out SMM&W. I went on their website and was astounded to see all the services that they offered. Not only foot soaks, but massage, facials and many other services. They also have a wonderful offer of a $25 membership that gives you a consistent discount on all services. Fantastic! So...my daughter and I showed up last night, it was so cold outside that any exposed skin hurt when getting out of the car. We entered a warm and cozy entry room and met our person Mary. Mary was lovely and restful. She offered us tea and walked us down to the foot soak sanctuary. We picked a comfortable couch and Mary brought us warm neck wraps. Our hot water tubs came out shortly afterward and included large smooth stones to hold the heat. Mary also came back to check water temp and make sure it was comfortable. I added a foot massage to my soak, which was fantastic. We talked to each other awhile, rested in silence awhile and got to know Mary a little bit better. At the end of our hour, we were dried off and powdered, and slowly came back to the real world upstairs. Here in the middle of what is looking to be a brutal Maine winter, do yourself a favor and check this place out! read more

Got a facial and a foot massage from Tabatha in Windham and wow! She took her time, is very knowledgeable in her field and is very nice. As a business owner, I'd say she is an ideal employee/team member and she definitely makes a customer want to come back. My skin has looked great since the facial and I will return soon. read more

Phenomenal service. This experience made me realize how superior the sugaring process is vs waxing. First thing I noticed, no heat! My skin wasn't irritated or inflamed after this service. So happy I followed through. Very very happy with results. read more

I come here frequently to get massages. I have enjoyed all but 1 practitioner. If you buy the membership it is probably the most reasonably priced place to get spa services in the area. read more

I can't even believe this place is real. First of all the facility itself is gorgeous, and the deals you get from becoming a member are unreal! The most affordable & quality massage I've ever had. Samantha is amazing. read more

The outside of this place is very run down and creepy looking. The brush exfoliating was amazing. Only good thing to this visit. She would brush one leg and then the other then back to the first leg to massage and then to the next leg to massage. Both legs uncovered for a good 20 mins. Was freezing. Same when came to arms. My back was only worked on for maybe 20 mins. My hip which I have a lot of problems were not even worked on. She maybe went 2 " higher then my knees. No thigh or glut work. Sholders or neck never worked on at all. The floors are very creeky in building and creepy sounds of people waking around made hard to relax as well. Foot soak in a basement. The set up is nice but again creep foot steps upstairs. The foot massage was ok. Just same motions not much pressure, even after asking. The soak it self was nice and warm and did Shea & Oatmeal which was nice. Very disappointed in the service. Was not relaxed during massage and DEFINITELY did not walk about feeling like my muscles were worked on just my skin moved around. Paid over $400 for 2 of us. So very disappointed! read more

After my massage, I couldn't even form words. That's how good it was. Sara Lee is awesome (I'm sure everyone else is too, but she's the only one I've seen). They're super friendly and nice. There's a way to become a member and get discounts, but I believe you need to pay a fee and commit to 4+ massages a year. The building is set in a quiet neighborhood in South Portland so if you're looking for a relaxing massage experience, look no further. read more

I became a member at SMMW and I love it there! The membership is a killer deal if you get 3 or more massages a year. Nicole C is great, her massages are relaxing and targeted. Caleb is also awesome, you can tell he knows a lot/has gone to school to study body movement/isolations. Both are great at what they do with different styles. My first visit there we took my mom to the soak cellar for her birthday and it was just what she wanted. Super relaxing and left our feet baby skin soft! read more

Got the 60 minute foot soak and massage and loved every second of it! Nicholas was so great and gave the best massage! To top it off their prices are amazing, especially with the membership. I will definitely be going back! read more

I have been regularly receiving deep tissue massages for years at many different places. However NOWHERE else have I found someone that does as incredible of a job as Kaela Comstock. She listens to where you say you'd like her to focus on during the massage, and then goes beyond that to find the exact areas you needed work on, but couldn't vocalize. She truly has magical hands. The vibe of this place is also wonderful- it's quiet and comfortable. You can pay a small fee (somewhere around $20) to be considered a member for the year, and receive discounts on services, as well as emails about cancellations and specials that are being run. In general, a 60 min massage here is extremely affordable- $48. If I, a poor grad student, am saying that this is money well spent, then you should definitely believe that this place is wonderful. read more

Nicole magically worked me into her schedule the same day as I was in a lot of prenatal pain. Her amazing massage skills, big heart and professionalism made me realize Southern Maine Massage is the BEST spa in Portland!! A little kindness and fun personality sure do go a long way - thank you, Nicole!! read more

I have enjoyed the Lomi lomi massage and Polarity massage several times at SMMW. I was blown away! Not only did they leave me Feeling absolutely amazing but the practitioners went above and beyond to give me a lot of valuable information about the body, their practice and what else I can do to help improve my state of well being. They were happy to answer my questions and were never in a rush to get me out the door like other places I've been. You feel extremely comfortable there and I feel as though the staff truly treat you as family when you are there. There are so many options to choose for services that anyone could find something they NEED to experience. I highly recommend!! read more

I saw Nick and was AMAZED at how great he was!! I have had quite a bit of massage previously and his strong cohesive style was a pleasant surprise. I bought a membership with no questions asked I will definitely be back soon and I can't wait to get a facial and try the soak cellar!! read more

Had a great massage with Kaela, I am considering becoming a member! Excellent massage at an excellent price. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

Great massage! They are very welcoming, there's a few other massage companies in the building. I believe they are moving to a different location soon. The prices are great! Very reasonable! The LMT are wicked friendly and truly focus on what you need work on. read more

Nicole C. was wonderful! She knows what to do to treat my unique issues. Will defiantly be back again!

I have had a lot of what I thought were great massages. But I went to SMWandM and saw James Black, I now understand what a massage is supposed to be. James is a healer. I went in stiff, sore, and creaky, thinking that I had some serious orthopedic issues. James listened carefully to my concerns and went to work. But there is something else very special about his work. He clearly has an intuition that is out of this world. He anticipated every thought and feeling I was having. He knew just when to apply more pressure and when to let up. He made me feel so comfortable and un-self-conscious. I knew immediately I was in good and trusted hands. Thank you Southern Maine Wellness. I am a regular now! And thanks, James, for giving me a new kind of freedom! read more
