Bike shop for fitting in Portland Maine or nearby? (or even down to boston/nh)

I'm thinking of spending money to get my bike professionally fitted. I got a weird physiological proportion, so i would like some help from a pro.

I guess any bike shop is capable of doing tune ups, but I don't think that's the case for fitting. Any recommendation in portland maine? If needed, I'm willing to travel as far as boston, if it's worth the trip.

I have been fitted by Back Bay Bikes, an excellent shop in Boston. They have a sister shop in Portsmouth, NH called Papa Wheelies (same owner, who lives up there).

Good luck, I hope you find a shop doing fittings.
Many are not doing 'full' fittings currently, due to the COVID 19 adventure. That include two shops I use, 1 in Kennebunk and 1 in Dover NH.

You might be able to get a basic fitting somewhere, though

I went to this guy, who does fittings through OA in Saco. It wasn't cheap, but it was a good experience. It's been a couple months and I'm still working through small tweaks to get more comfortable on the bike. He provided recommendations and drills in writing, which was helpful. PM me if you want more info.
