Studio A Body Therapy

12/01/2025

We have several openings in this Wednesday evening’s Release & Refresh class, so if you’ve ever been curious about those (or about somatic work in general), this is a great time to try it. This is not group therapy; there is no sharing involved, it's simply you on your cushy mat and blanket (that we provide), being prompted to stretch your body in gentle ways and tune into your internal world as you do that, with compassionate, attuned support and guidance.

Class is 7:00-8:30pm and is a fantastic way to “come home to yourself”, meaning return to being grounded in your own body and sense of Self. This task can become especially meaningful during holiday seasons, when:

➡️ stress levels tend to be higher
➡️ pain from family situations may be more intense
➡️ outward-focused holiday efforts of giving, serving, volunteering, hosting, etc. pull us away from our "center"

Help yourself ride those waves of stress and big emotions by tuning in and tending to what’s going on, rather than white-knuckling your way through or checking out mentally.

Be in the "now", friends! Be present. So that you can embrace all that this season holds for you, even if it’s not 100% cheery and bright… because the non-bright spots hold immense lessons and growth for us, if we have the right supports to face them.

If you’d like a bit of guidance in that process, I invite you to come to Wednesday’s Release & Refresh class, 7:00pm. Join me (Allie) as we “come home” to ourselves and engage the fascial and nervous systems to reconnect to our authentic self amidst the busyness and stress that the holidays tend to bring. Only $24, or $18 for those that genuinely need financial aid to attend (use coupon code HELP-ME-OUT). Read more and sign up here: https://www.studioabody.com/release-refresh

Do you know someone who could really use a massage? Or who you know would especially benefit from a massage by someone who is thoroughly trained in trauma-informed practices? (Unsure what we mean by that? Learn what makes massage “trauma-informed” here: studioabody.com/massage ) Consider buying a Massage Gift Certificate for them, to cover the cost of either a 60, 75, or 90-minute massage, that can be used at any point in the future (no expiration date) and that will always cover the cost of the session, even if our prices were to increase someday later.

If you find yourself wishing for this for your OWN Christmas gift, then share this post with your loved ones, so that they know and can buy one for you during this promotional period, and one for someone else too! (Or both for you! Wouldn’t that be amazing??) And then they might just win a massage in the process. What a sweet arrangement!

Happy shopping!!

This pic says it all. If your muscles are chronically tight or tense, it may be time to engage the deeper systems responsible for the tension, versus continuing to focus on the muscles themselves. Not everyone wants what we offer, because what we offer are not quick-fixes but rather skills to help the body and brain feel safe, which then allow the muscles to let go and end their bracing patterns. So for those that wish to embark on a journey of true nervous system work--or at least give it a shot and see what happens--we're here for you!

Our Release & Refresh classes provide an introductory opportunity to engage in somatic work, and to drop into a new level of safety, so that the muscles organically let go.

Join us this Friday night, 6:30-8:30pm or Saturday morning, 9:00-10:30am. Sign up at studioAbody.com/release-refresh

Only $24 for the 90-minute class and $32 for the 2-hr class, although if those rates aren't affordable enough for you then use coupon code HELP-ME-OUT and get 25% off. We don't want finances to stand in the way of people receiving the nervous system nourishment they need.

Come and be led through a time of exquisitely attuned self-care, via guided stretching and somatic exercises to support the system to let go at a deeper level than normally possible.

Hope to see you this weekend! 🧡

Your body is speaking. Do you know how to listen to it?

How you make choices, how much space you feel you're allowed take up (or not) in the world, the sense of personal autonomy and self-ownership that you experience, what you consent to, where your boundaries lie and how you communicate those boundaries, how much access you have to a sense of power—whether you know it or not, all of these things involve the body on a very deep level. So whenever those things are unclear or need strengthened, we can turn to the body for answers.

Introducing a new, one-of-a-kind workshop called Yes/No & Letting Go, a full-day event on Saturday, November 8. It is designed to deepen your connection with yourself and specifically your body, as we explore themes of autonomy, choice, and boundaries. Guided by Studio A owner Allie Whitney and Dr. Michael Trexler of Peace of Mind Counseling Services, you will discover on a whole new level your body's role in holding and expressing both your YES and your NO in response to things.

Intrigued? Sign up now for this workshop. Today is the last day to take advantage of the early bird discount! (Must use coupon code YNLG-EB)

The Details:
🗓 Saturday, November 8
🕘 9:30am-4:30pm
Location: Studio A Body Therapy
Cost: $139 (Early Bird Rate: $125 until 11:59pm on 10/11/25)

Our newest team member Julia Piner, LMT, PMH-C, SEP (in training) arrived at the studio on Thursday to shadow our owner Allie in a Somatic Healing Session. She clearly takes her role as a shadow very seriously, showing up as her twin. 😆

Today was a meetup of the Indiana Somatically-Oriented Practitioners' Association (I-SOPA), hosted here at Studio A Body Therapy and it was INCREDIBLE. We have amazing people with a love for somatics working as professionals in various fields in the state, and it's always a JOY to bring them all together under one roof! Of course this isn't everyone; there are many who could not make it. But 22 is a great turnout, when we started with 4 in my living room just 2 1/2 years ago. I'm so grateful! ❤️

If you're a professional working somatically in Indiana and are not on the text list for this group, you can opt in at studioAbody.com/for-professionals (scroll down to the section about I-SOPA).

How has it already been 1 year?!

As I [Callie] reflect on this past year at Studio A, I am grateful for the ways I have grown as a massage therapist, thanks to Allie and her continual training and investment in me.

I am thankful for each client who has trusted me to be a part of their healing journey. It is a joy and an honor to hold space for whatever shows up on the table. Whether you’ve come once, or multiple times over the last year, thank you! I look forward to coming to work everyday, thanks to my wonderful clients!

I have some openings this week, so if you’d like to experience a trauma-informed massage, I’d love to meet you (or see you again)!

Do you work somatically as a professional in your field? Whether you're in mental health, bodywork, movement, music therapy, or another field, if you work somatically then we'd love to have you join us for the next meetup of Indiana Somatically-Oriented Practitioners' Association (I-SOPA)! It will take place on Sunday, September 28, 3-5 pm at Studio A Body Therapy (554 Pit Rd. Suite 211, Brownsburg, IN 46112).

"Somatic" is defined as approaches that emphasize internal perception and experience, inviting curious exploration of the self as perceived from within.

No previous attendance or association membership is required in order to attend. I-SOPA meetups provide a chance for those of us working throughout the state to connect with other somatically-minded practitioners of various fields, swap info for referrals, share success stories, and learn from each other. Join in on the exciting somatic movement happening here in Indiana!

Registration is required. Register at studioabody.com/for-professionals
