find deep calm through attuned touch

specialized bodywork, education, and resources 
to heal from stress and trauma

​Hi, I'm Allie, owner of Studio A. 

I'm on a mission, and it is to bring bodywork to Indy's west side that is

 holistic,  trauma-informed,  &  accessible to all.  

I want everyone in Brownsburg and surrounding areas to know that holistic bodywork can be a critical part of healing for those who have been through hard stuff－trauma, accidents, prolonged periods of stress, grief, anxiety, etc.－and for those who carry the burden of chronic, ongoing pain or tension. Therapy that extends beyond just the physical tension that's present and encompasses the deeper systems responsible for long-held tension can be life-changing.

 

I believe this kind of holistic work shouldn't just be for those with a lot of surplus income, and it shouldn't be reserved only for special occasions. We offer a sliding scale for those who need it and have evening and weekend appointments available, to make holistic and trauma-informed therapy accessible to all.

​

Trauma can leave our nervous system in a state of being guarded, tense, and stuck in a fight, flight, or freeze. At Studio A we retrain the nervous system, so that there is a chance to experience greater freedom and flexibility, increased resilience to stress, and a new level of calm that has not been experienced before and that lasts. Learn how this happens here.

INTEGRATED FLOORWORK SESSIONS
{60 or 90 minutes}

This one-of-a-kind offering takes place on heated floor mats and is superb at releasing tension in the low back, hips, pelvis, and legs. Deep myofascial stretching of these areas combined with work at the nervous system level give the body a much-needed chance to let go of its tension and find greater alignment system-wide.

If you are wanting to resolve the effects of stress and trauma, involving the body using this model can greatly accelerate the healing process. With compassion and curiosity, we look at the deeply programmed responses of the nervous system as important clues into what is needed to move out of the trauma and into the present moment.

Body-oriented trauma-informed work can help retrain the brain how to perceive safety versus danger, empower the setting of boundaries where needed, and develop a stronger sense of self and identity. It can also help us identify the strategies we've adopted throughout our lifetime in order to not feel the pain of being so disconnected from our self and others.

Connect in with what's happening at Studio A and in the growing landscape of somatic practices in the area.
