My beloved ashiatsu practitioner in Pittsburgh moved back to Hawaii in 2020, so when I planned a trip to visit my partner in Portland, I thought it would be the perfect time to try someone new! I happened upon Written on the Body via Google and was lucky enough to snag an appointment with Katie O'Neill. It was seriously an idyllic appointment - she was so sweet and checked in several times during the massage regarding pressure and my general comfort level. I felt so at ease the entire appointment and the space itself was so lovely as well, very much a calming atmosphere! The only suggestion I would have might be, if the practice has any other larger-bodied ashiatsu clients, to perhaps invest in a slightly wider table for those specific appointments - I fit on the table fine but with not much room for maneuvering, which Katie handled with grace but was still a little tricky. I can't wait to return, hopefully next time I am in Portland!
