North Portland Wellness Center

My wife had an acupuncture appointment and we took a 20+mile bike ride leading up to her appointment. My back was strained and I was in pretty rough shape upon arrival at NPWC and I had planned on just sitting and waiting during my wife's treatment before biking the couple more miles home. It was a very nice surprise that late in the afternoon I was able to book a massage with no notice! May not happen again, but was sure appreciated that day. I'll be back with an appointment in near future. more

Friendly and knowledgeable practitioners -they are kind and caring beyond description. I got very good results from my chronic pains associated with Fibromyalgia. Besides acupuncture and massage, I get practical and doable advices re after care and follow up at home. The place is beautiful - serene and calming in its decor with an additional bonus of a lovely garden. I recommend the caring services provided to anyone who has complications associated with CFS and Fibromyalgia. more

Simple, quick procedures provided immediate relief from (intermittent) back pain I've had for years, plus easy exercises to strengthen my back and prevent future episodes. Thanks Glenda! more

Beautiful decor & a relaxing atmosphere as soon as you arrive. Great advice for follow up care and perfect pressure. Excellent choices of massage oil scents. Not only great people in the center but also wonderful members in the community. It was great to see them at the Mississippi Street Fair. Pros: Talented massage therapist Cons: late fees more

Annabelle Snow brought me back to the best of health. She is amazingly intuitive and a natural healer. I continue to visit N Portland Wellness to keep my health and my life good. This is also an institution I am so happy to be a part of in terms of what they represent for health care reform. Institution is hardly that in terms of how you feel when you walk in the door. Immediately I feel like I have entered a healing place, from the aromatherapy to the tea and the design of the place not to mention the energies represented there. I have simply never felt actual health upon entering or leaving a public medical facility. As of this week I am immediately stopping payment to my Providence health insurance and investing in something that actually works. Treatments here and weekends at spas on the Oregon coast! Pros: Health care that makes you actually healthy, what a concept! more

A welcome center of calm and learning in the center of a busy world. Wonderful Instructors and Acupuncture Therapists. Can't wait to try the massage therapists! Pros: Great Qi Gong learning center more

I recently had to transition to a new acupuncturist and decided to give Colleen at North portland wellness center a try. HEr comforting nature and experience made this a lot easier for me. She really knows what she is doing and is treating my ailments with success. This place is in my NE neighborhood in walking distance from my house which I love and has a very soothing environment inside. Everyone is friendly and I highly recommend them as someone who has been using chinese medicine for years. They also accept insurance! Pros: provides all different services and affordable Cons: none! more

Rachael's massages are by far the best I've ever experienced. I can feel years of stress and tension lifting with each session. She seems to have an intuitive knowledge of where to go and what pressure to apply. Pros: Welcoming, skilled treatment providers Cons: none! more

I have been passing this clinic for months as it is right near my house and I kept on telling myself 'I would go in soon'. In the last two weeks I got a chiropractor appointment with Glenda and am quite a fan! I felt like I left with a longer/straighter spine as well as some helpful exercises to follow on my own time. The space is beautiful while maintaining a clean, yet homey atmosphere.\r \r A week later I went in for a massage with Sarah and left feeling great. It was not a traditional massage and she was definitely working with me on my chronic pain as opposed to relaxation. She was very intuitive and did some deep trigger point work that was pretty amazing and effective. She listened to my needs and was good about asking after my comfort which is always re-assuring.\r \r I also see that they have a steam room. My only complaint is that they don't offer this with their 60 minute treatments as many wellness centers do. Instead it is I think an additional $20 or so (but don't quote me on that!).\r \r And one more thing, the receptionist is super sweet.\r \r Okay, I think I'm done now :) Pros: no free sauna Cons: Everything else about this place! more

I got a massage from Marguerite through my Kaiser plan and she was awesome!\r \r It was only 25$ and I got ten dollars off my next massage for filling out this review. They were very helpful when I got lost. They offer a wide range of naturpathic medicines and support services.\r \r If you want to feel totally relaxed and calm, this is the place to go. Pros: Expert Massage Therapists Cons: Hard to find more

I have seen Glenda for chiropractic care for the past few months. She is always attentive to my concerns and has good solutions. Unlike other chiropractors, she doesn't encourage patients coming in more than needed for adjustments and focuses on getting patients on the road to health with stretches, exercises and other recommendations. Pros: evening/weekend appts available, quailty practitioner more

This was my first time getting a massage. I had purchased a gift certificate for my girlfriend for Valentine's Day and my girlfriend talked me in to getting a massage while she redeemed her gift certificate. This didn't take much effort on her part. Emily was my masseuse. She took the time to explain how things work since I am new at this. Although I have nothing to compare it against I think she did a great job. I felt very relaxed throughout my experience and continued to feel great throughout the rest of the day. I definitely would recommend it and would go back again. Thanks! Pros: Nice facility, good price, excellent all around! more

I am so glad to have found this wonderful place. Cosy and warm I feel really cared for and looked after while getting my acupuncture treatment from Colleen. Colleen really listens. She is wonderful at what she does. Pros: Care, kindness, efficiency, knowledge more

I go for acupuncture with Colleen and find it extremely healing and positive for my overall health. She is knowledgeable and a talented healer. more

I received acupuncture at North Portland Wellness Center and was thoroughly amazed at the professionalism of the practitioners along with the zen-like atmosphere. They offer classes, workshops and so much more! I love the space, the staff and look forward to making this my new alternative health care stop.\r \r April Sandoval Pros: The staff is amazing and environment so peaceful. more

I contacted North Portland Wellness Center for pain and numbness in my hands that I endured for about two months. I thought it might be pregnancy related and had no idea how to get relief. After my initial session I was immediately about 60% better. The acupuncture helped but in addition, Colleen consulted with me about my sleep position. We determined that sleeping on my side (required during pregnancy!) was causing the issue. She helped me find a better sleeping position and practiced it in the office. The first night I was able to sleep the whole night through in the position we practiced. In the morning I felt better than I had in months. I am so relieved to be on the road to recovery! Pros: Full Service Wellness Center more

Plenty of bike parking. Pros: Comfortable environment more

I came to North Portland Wellness Center for acupuncture and massage therapy. It is nice that my history is shared between the two professionals and they combine their services to work on my common issue which is neck pain right now. With acupuncture and massage combined I am not experiencing the pain anymore. Great place to go for all your wellness needs. Pros: relaxing music, friendly people, caring more

Nice waiting area. Professional yet comfortable feel. Dr. Glenda the chiropractor I saw was gentle and strong at the same time. I felt much better after going there. Pros: Sweet healing spot more

I just became a customer and had a massage. I plan to visit regularly and have acupunture also scheduled. I like that my massage therapist recommended that I go to other therapists in addition to her so that I can get a good variety of style of massage. This will work great for scheduling and also it is nice to know that this is encouraged. At other places, I have felt an obligation to visit just one massage therapist. Pros: Friendly staff, great massage, they bill your insurance! Cons: None. more
