finding deep calm through attuned touch

trauma-informed massage & bodywork,
and body-oriented trauma resolution

​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.

​

At Studio A 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. Learn how this happens here.

Unique positioning allows for deep myofascial stretching of these areas, giving the body a much-needed chance to let go of its tension. You may be amazed at how much flexibility is gained as a result.

SWEDISH + THAI MASSAGE
{15 or 30 minute optional add-ons}

Available as add-ons to your appointment, these different types of massage enhance the work by offering deep relaxation. Allowing yourself these few minutes to just receive—free from expectations, responsibilities, or burdens—sets an environment of deep safety and comfort in which the brain and body can rest and integrate.

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.
