our story
Welcome!
Written on the Body Massage Therapy was founded by Julie Campbell in 2011. When Julie decided to earn her MBA and move on to find new adventures, instead of dissolving the community she created, she chose to pass it on.
Andrew, Jason, Katie, Katie and Luna had the good fortune to inherit this amazing practice in June of 2019, just after its 8th anniversary. Today, Written on the Body continues to be a place of peace and healing rooted in the Northeast Portland neighborhood, and now collectively headed by 5 compassionate and skilled therapists who truly love what they do.
We are a collective of 5 massage therapists who teamed up to support each other in our common goal — providing quality, healing bodywork for our community in an environment that sustains us as practitioners. Together we have committed to be present to the health and well-being of our clients, each other and ourselves. We believe in the innate wisdom of the body. We hold the intention to offer a welcoming space where everyone that visits us can tune into their own body's wholeness in comfort.
We look forward to collaborating with you in health.

“This is my all time favorite place to get a massage! The hot stone treatments are my favorite but I have tried several styles and several therapists and I have always been very pleased and left feeling very relaxed. The essential oil add on is very relaxing also. I would highly recommend Written on the Body Massage..they are at the top of my massage list!” -Julia Mortlock, ND, LAc November 19th, 2013

“It was a great experience. I particularly appreciated the wiping off of most of the oil on my back with a hot cloth. That’s one part of getting a massage I don’t much like, usually – putting my clothes on over the oil – so that helped a lot and was a really nice touch. Thanks for a great massage too!” – October 19, 2012
