Casco Bay Acupuncture & Massage is a unique clinic in Portland, Maine in that you have continuity of care from the same practitioner providing multiple healing modalities depending on your specific needs, preferences and health care goals. The acupuncture practiced at Casco Bay Acupuncture & Massage in Portland, Maine stems from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that originated in ancient China over 3000 years ago.
Massage is one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of medical care. Its history dates back farther than acupuncture. Hieroglyphics on Egyptian tombs depict people receiving massage. In Eastern cultures, massage has been practiced consistently since primitive times. It is an ancient, modern and everything-in-between method to taking care of yourself.
I bring over a decade of experience to my private practice at Casco Bay Acupuncture & Massage in Portland, Maine. My initial training was in Swedish. Swedish massage is a lovely style that uses long strokes combined with kneading, friction, tapping, percussion, vibration, effleurage, and shaking motions.
Yet another service that makes Casco Bay Acupuncture & Massage stand out in your choices in Portland, Maine when you are looking for a massage therapist or acupuncturist is that you have the opportunity to benefit from a phenomenal and very ancient form of massage from Thailand. Thai Yoga Massage combines massage strokes with therapeutic stretching to treat what the Thai call "sen" lines.
At Casco Bay Acupuncture & Massage in Portland, Maine I am eager to help you grasp the power of using food as medicine. Food is a powerful self healing tool at your disposal each and every day. Eating well doesn't require any additional expense to your daily life. Many patients find they save money by not buying expensive prepared foods at the grocery store, eating out just to eat or using unnecessary supplements that bog down their constitution.

I tried acupuncture for the first time last fall with Tennyson Towl and had a fantastic experience. I had tried several other avenues of treatment for post-concussion syndrome with very little success. After my first session with Tennyson I was rejuvenated and hopeful once again about my path towards full recovery. She took the time to really listen about what was going on and worked with me to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. I felt that I had finally found a true advocate for my well-being. I would highly recommend Tennyson Towl.

I was referred to Tennyson over a year ago by my acupuncturist who was moving out of state. I've since been incredibly happy visiting Tennyson, as I find her to be equally personable and knowledgeable. I'd definitely refer her to my friends, family, and anyone else searching for a great practitioner.

I have been a client of Tennyson Towl’s for the past 3 years. At Casco Bay Acupuncture and Massage, Tennyson provides an oasis of calm away from the outside world. Her acupuncture and massage techniques (both table and Thai) are among the best I’ve experienced. She takes the time to listen before each session and adjusts treatment to address any specific concerns, and I always leave feeling better and more relaxed than when I arrived! I could not recommend Casco Bay Acupuncture and Massage more highly!

I've been experiencing a high level of anxiety and decided to check into acupuncture. I've got a lot more than I've bargained for. Not only has the acupuncture helped, but Tennyson is highly knowledgeable and will take the time to listen to you and will offer advice. My symptoms have improved and I owe a great deal of that to the acupuncture and more importantly to Tennyson. If your body is in need of healing, this is the place!
