OOH (pro): Damn if not everything. OW (con): The only con I can possibly think of is ever so slightly limited street parking. And I had to think for 5 minutes to come up with that. It's that good.

It is amazing how wonderful they were when I first started going to them. Then after their clientele improved, it appears that they no longer needed or cared to provide the customer service that I received originally. They fell off in their customer service and how they treat their customers tremendously, it's really sad because they are close to my home. Now I have to look for other places to go have services rendered. The sad part is the owner or office manager, whichever one she is, is the rudest of all

He has a great technique, and can go really hard if needed. Men and women in my friend group all see him. Highly recommend David and the tiny cart!

I would absolutely see Rhonda again--her demeanor was immediately warm, calming and welcoming, and she was an attentive and skilled massage therapist. Her space is small and nice, with diffused natural light and a super comfortable and impeccably clean massage table (and space in general). She changed the bedding on it depending on the treatment I was getting, so I was comfortable, warm and happy the whole time. She tailors your treatment to you completely, asking about music, oils and health questions ahead of time so the treatment goes fluidly and you can relax fully. The treatments were great (I recommend the papaya scrub and massage combination) but getting to know her was even more of a highlight. I'm sure treatments are usually quiet except for the music, but I had a great time chatting with her and feel like I came away with an awesome new friend!

Yesterday's massage from Laura was a welcome combination of therapy and relaxation (perhaps the…read morelatter because it was therapeutic). I've been looking for some time to treat leg, hip and lower-back pain related to running (I think). When this week it finally became too painful to put off doing anything, I decided to pore through yelp for an affordable and effective massage therapist who might be able to help and who had availability soon. I was happy to find Laura. When I contacted Laura to make an appointment, I'd erroneously read that she had an available time slot yesterday and called to make an appointment. Even after I'd realized my error, Laura offered to fit me in to her afternoon schedule. Laura warmly welcomed me to her studio and took considerable time before the actual massage to learn about my current condition, particular areas of concern, and to allow me to ask questions. It was clear from her questions that she is well-informed about the kind of conditions she treats and what might cause them. Her attentiveness did not wane during the actual massage. While I was able to largely zone out during the massage, I could perceive Laura's attentiveness to trouble spots. I appreciated her methodical approach and her ability to read my body closely. She used a significant, but welcome, amount of pressure, yet not without checking to be sure it wasn't too much. It's clear that Laura cares about her clients' well-being beyond the massage table. Her studio was pleasant, quiet despite the busy street outside, easy to find and warm. Meanwhile, her rates were more than reasonable for the level of professionalism and care she took with the massage. I was also pleased that after the massage, Laura took additional time to show me some stretches I could do at home to alleviate the pain I've been experiencing. I welcomed her willingness to suggest ways to prevent or correct problems in the first place. Best of all, I went home with the pain I'd been experiencing greatly diminished. Since my appointment yesterday, I've been able to walk around with much greater ease and sit down to work without the same discomfort I've been experiencing for months. I'd happily recommend Laura to anyone in Portland looking for a massage, whether to treat a specific condition or for general well-being.

Yesterday, I had an appointment with Drew, who eloquently and accurately described his work as…read more"Energetic, Deep Tissue Massage". I've experienced a number of varyingly wonderful massages/body work sessions, but Drew's felt like what I've always hoped I would experience. Someone who's life and love of body work merges with their psychological and spiritual presence as well. Drew approaches the work very holistically, cultivating a calming atmosphere of relaxation, rest, and healing, and then guides the time like a full body meditation. His intuitiveness and sensitivity to the energies moving through my muscles, ligaments, and joints required barely a word of communication or direction from me. The work he's done has lasted well into the next day and my days have been much better for it. The location of Written On The Body Massage Studio is on a busy street, which was initially a deterrent for me personally, but the moment I walked through the door, the outside noise faded, the aroma stimulated my attention, and the environment engaged me as if we were far away from the busyness and distraction of the city. Then, walking back outside after my session, I felt grounded, centered, and more peaceful than it did before. That's another way of sayings it changed the world for me. :)
