Studio A Body Therapy

You can be the person who keeps everything moving and still have very little idea how you’re doing inside.

Maybe you know exactly how to make your body perform. You know how to push through tiredness, be pleasant when you’re uncomfortable, and get one more thing done. You may have been rewarded for those abilities for a long time.

But a body you can manage isn’t necessarily a body you’re in conversation with.

What happens when you ask for information instead of more output? ‘Where am I tense? When did I last eat? Do I actually have room for this yes?’

This carousel is an invitation to notice that relationship with more curiosity and less judgment. Pick one moment today when you would normally push straight through, and check in first.

Our nervous system stress quiz can help you begin reflecting on the patterns you recognize.

Join Allie Whitney and Michael Trexler, PhD at Studio A in Brownsburg on October 31st for our Yes/No & Letting Go Workshop — a day dedicated to slowing down, listening inward, and practicing how to honor what your body is telling you.

✨ What if your YES could feel fully yours… and your NO didn’t come with guilt?

Have you ever said YES while your body was quietly saying NO?

Maybe it looked like:
A smile.
A nod.
An automatic, “I’m fine.”
Saying yes when what you really needed was to pause.

💛 What if you could trust your NO?
💛 What if your YES felt clear, grounded, and completely yours?
💛 What might become possible when you listen without judgment?

Come spend a day practicing how to listen — with support, curiosity, and compassion and still be home in time for trick-or-treating 👻

🎟️ Early Bird pricing is still available through 9/30!

YES/NO & Letting Go Workshop— early bird special ends soon 👀

Your boundaries don't just live in your head — they live in your body. In the shoulders that rise before you agree to something you don't want. In the breath that catches before you speak up. In the exhale when you finally say no.

This Oct 31, spend a full day getting to know that part of yourself — with somatic practitioner Allie Whitney and psychotherapist Dr. Michael Trexler.

Engage in embodied learning on these topics that are extremely relevant for anyone who engages in life and relationships.

✨ Autonomy, choice & boundaries
✨ Small group — capped at 13
✨ Includes a take-home workbook

💛 $125 through 9/30 — code YNLG-EB
📅 Saturday, October 31 | 9:30am–4:30pm
📍 Studio A Body Therapy, Brownsburg

Ever feel like an emotion just takes over? One second you're fine, the next you're snapping at someone you love, shutting down completely, or replaying something for hours and you can't figure out why it has this much power over you.

You're not broken. You're not "too sensitive." Your body just never learned a way to move through big feelings — so it either buries them or gets flooded by them. And living like that is exhausting.

Feel to Heal is an 8-week program that teaches you how to actually work with your emotions in real time — in your body, not just in your head — so they stop running the show. No group therapy, no oversharing, no pressure to perform healing. Just practical tools you can use the next time life hits hard.

Our next round starts September 10, and for the first time in a while, we've got real room in the group. So we're doing something we don't normally do:

✨ Flash sale: 15% off through Saturday — use code FLASH15 at checkout ✨ And if cost is the thing standing between you and this work, we have a limited number of sliding scale spots — just reach out.

This one fills up fast when people find out about it. If your nervous system has been asking for a different way to handle the hard stuff, this is it.

**STUDIO A IS NOW HIRING**

We are actively seeking to hire an additional massage therapist (part-time) who is sensitive, empathetic, strives for excellence, and wants to join a team of 5 focused on bringing bodywork, education, and resources to those seeking to heal from stress and trauma. It is not easy work, but it is rewarding, and you would be joining an established team with a lot of experience and a developed ethos and culture of safety, respect, and ongoing learning. We work very closely with local mental health clinicians to collaborate on client care, and have established a well-defined scope and best practices for providing trauma-informed massage.

Training in becoming trauma-informed would be provided upon hiring. The role may also include working with community partners to deliver trauma-informed massage to first responders in other locations.

Please note that this role is to provide trauma-informed massage, which is different from somatic work. Studio A also provides somatic sessions to help renegotiate the survival energy and biophysiological responses borne out of traumatic experiences, but that requires an additional 3 years of training by Somatic Experiencing International and the NARM Training Institute.

Ideally we would begin with 10-15 hours per week and gradually increase as demand grows (there is already demand). I am not opposed to it eventually turning into full-time for the right candidate. Compensation will be discussed during interviews.

If interested in applying for the role, please submit your resume to [email protected]. Thank you!

Three years ago, I created Release & Refresh because I couldn't find anything quite like it out there. It's been such a steady offering here at the studio, and I'm so grateful for everyone who has shown up to stretch, drop in to their body, and gain awareness of what they're carrying.

I want to share that this class, in its current form, has come to a close. And I'll be honest, there's real tenderness in that for me. When I got in my car to go home after the last class this week, I sat for a bit to reflect on how bittersweet the moment felt. This has always felt like an extension of me, so retiring it in its current form means letting go of something I love, even as I trust what's coming next.

It's time for something new, one that reflects where my practice is now. At its heart, this work has always been about engaging the body to shift how we respond to and move through the pains, emotions, and difficulties of life, finding ways of handling it all that don't cost us so much or drain our systems so quickly. That thread is exactly what I want to pull further into this next chapter, and I'm making space to let the creative process unfold rather than rushing it.

We remain committed to offering an affordable, accessible drop-in class that's a welcoming entry point into somatic work. What will change is the shape it takes, bringing in new, fresh elements that help you notice what your body is holding, move through it, and expand the innate resilience that's there.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, breathed, moved, and trusted this process with me over these three years. More details on the new offering coming soon, expect it late September or mid October.
