From the reviews

Andrew saved me with a last minute opening after I pulled a muscle in my neck. Wonderfully therapeutic massage and excellent communication 🩷 Updating my review to say I was in a motor vehicle accident and Katie Jayne has taken care of not only all the insurance logistics but gone above and beyond to offer the most…

★★★★★ — Sarah, Oct 2025

Katie JAYNE (Selin) = 10/10 recommend! If you’re someone who works on a computer, holds your stress in your neck, upper back, shoulder blades and/or you have issues with your SI. Look no further!!

★★★★★ — Clarice, Feb 2025

I cannot recommend Katie O'Neill at Written on the Body Massage highly enough! I recently went in for a therapeutic deep tissue massage, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Katie has incredible mastery of her craft.

★★★★★ — Sunny, Apr 2024

I recently had a massage with Katie Jayne Selin that totally reset my body and mind. She communicates very well, making you feel comfortable and ensuring your massage goals are achieved.

What to expect from your first cupping session

New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
