"Renie is a gifted MFR therapist who is highly intuitive and able to read the language of the body at a deep energetic level. She is able to perceive what is unique about a person and to use her hands and heart to heal wounds and injuries of the body and soul. I feel grateful and blessed to have her as part of my healing team.
MFR Group Therapy is a wonderful place to come to stretch, compress, and do your own MFR treatments with hands on assistance from Renie. She leads a great class that is fun as well as therapeutic. The yurt is a warm and cozy place and the great music is an added bonus. Highly recommended!"

"I have known and been treated by Renie for over five years. She has helped me rehabilitate after total hip replacement, treated a deep bone bruise in my shoulder and get relief from various injuries from a lifetime of sports. Renie always takes the time to listen to what is going on with your body and mind and seems to have a sixth sense for how to treat. I am sometimes surprised that knee pain may mean a low back treatment and then there is relief! The setting in the Yurt she constructed further contributes to a sense of well being. While it is open and airy, you can watch clouds float by, you have a feeling of privacy and serenity. Besides private sessions with Renie, I have attended her Group Therapy classes. It is a great setting to practice some of what you have learned from her while practicing on your own. I have explored different ball and foam roller stretches here that I now practice at home.
"I found Renie by chance through a MFR therapist on the west coast and am totally blessed by this unlikely connection. She was born in Pennsylvania, lived and learned out west before settling in Maine. I think these experiences have given her wisdom beyond her years. Being overly active in sports activities (tennis, biking, hiking, skiing, etc.) myself, her advice on how to keep the body healthy and the mind settled has been a godsend to me. Renie has enabled me to continue the activities I love.
"Overall, I cannot say enough about Renie and her practice. She is a very special person who deeply cares about others, the environment and the world. The combination of her intuition on whats going on with her clients needs, her skillful healing touch and the near perfect setting for treatment, all contribute to a truly wonderful experience. If you want to heal your body and keep going though body restrictions, Renie is the one to see.

"Oh that felt so good ! And your descriptive explanation and repeating it helps to “sink in” physically and mentally which is so important. I still have fear self treating my low back on my own. Just your presence helped. So awesome ! Thank you Renie !”
Dorienne Lewin - Owner, Salud Portland
"Renie's authentic values and clear instruction have taught me that I can take control of the tension and strain in my hips and pelvic floor, on my own, through Myofascial self-care."

"So very glad to learn this technique! IT band issues are difficult and your explanation of how to come in slowly through the knee area is key to successful self treatment. Thanks!"
R. Adkins - Course Participant
"Enrolling in this course was easily the best decision of 2020. The perpetual quest to find the power outside of myself took a 180 degree turn. I am now armed with practical approaches to access power that was blocked or stuck. I highly recommend taking this 'journey to you'."
Lori - Round Pond, Maine
"I am very grateful for the day I was referred to Stillpoint MFR and Renie Allen. I have a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects most aspects of my life, physical and emotional, and with the guidance of Renie I have been able to weather the ups and downs of dealing with a lifelong disorder. Through myofascial release techniques, we’ve addressed medication side effects, the role stress plays with my health, and the accompanying emotional roller coaster. The moment you enter the yurt, the calm and relaxing atmosphere Renie cultivates lets you know you are in the right place."
Laurie - Yarmouth, Maine
"Group Therapy myofascial release class has offered me the opportunity to slow down and pay attention to my body in a new way. Connecting with bodily nuance while working with the foam roller and balls has continued outside of class into a deepening awareness of how my body is speaking to me. It is miraculous what great music, skillful instruction, and attentive presence can do to unfurl me."

"Renie Allen is an amazingly talented and intuitive being! She has masterfully created an extraordinary space for Myofascial Release where she conducts personal sessions and her workshops. Her yurt is warm and inviting with great music choices that fills your soul and enhances her workshops. It is well-equipped with comfortable mats for all ages, foam rollers, Swiss exercise balls,and heated floors! I've attended her workshops for years now and miss them immensely when I'm not able to attend.
Once you've experienced Myofascial Release with Renie Allen, you'll find it is like stringing a guitar- stretching and really fine tuning in to your own true self!
Thank you Renie!"

"Wow, I have TMJ problems and all of these techniques have been so helpful to loosen. I love all we are doing. Thank you for creating this incredible program."
Rich A. - Course Participant
"I've been going through some major life changes! My body sends major red flags every time I'm about to make a decision that isn't right. It's so cool we can free ourselves from the prisons we create."
Kristen - Brunswick, Maine
"The foam rolling Group Therapy classes are unlike anything I've done before; they combine all of my favorite aspects of a yoga or pilates class with a great music playlist and wonderful class space in the yurt.
This isn't the painful foam rolling that athletes seem to suffer through - it's using a roller to enhance a stretch that seems to reach every nook and cranny of my body. Finding the tight spots and then using time to settle into them has taught me a lot about my body and how I can get to these spots again on my own. The class is such a great jumping-off point for my own stretching at home.
I've never been in a class that is so adaptable for every person. Renie provides modifications to make the positions easier or more challenging, and her hands-on-help is amazing. Renie also sets the stage for us to take each position and make it our own, so I'm comfortable even if I look different than everyone else."
