Hi, I'm Allie, owner and licensed massage therapist at Studio A. It's my mission to make high-quality therapeutic bodywork that is trauma-informed accessible to everyone in Brownsburg and surrounding areas.
I want to introduce bodywork to as many people as I can, especially those who have been through hard stuff--trauma, accidents, prolonged periods of stress/grief/anxiety, etc.--and those who carry the burden of chronic, ongoing pain that make life difficult or downright awful.Because bodywork that integrates the mental and emotional with the physical aspects of a person can truly be life-changing.

After receiving my B.A. in International Studies from Taylor University and working abroad for 7 years, my family settled in Brownsburg in 2014 as we continued to grow our family. Through life circumstances I was introduced to the world of "bodywork" and discovered the power of hands-on therapy to help bring deep healing to a person both emotionally and physically.
I love working on bodies because the body doesn't lie; it gives an honest representation of what a person has been through. Because while the conscious mind can only recall so much (and this is why talk therapy is so limited for stress reduction, trauma work, or emotional issues), our body remembers everything; it is literally the storehouse of the subconscious, and of one's life experiences that were significant or that impacted us in some way.
If you experience chronic pain or tension, either in a particular area or all over, this session is for you. It is a combination of all of the modalities in which I hold training, based in large part on all that I have learned about the fascia. The John F. Barnes' method of Myofascial Release (MFR) that I use is a highly effective and yet extremely gentle way of getting the fascia to "unwind" and release where it is tangled and tight.
Integrated Floorwork Sessions take place on mats on the floor and involve a lot of being stretched and moved by the therapist. The client stays fully clothed for this kind of session.
It is not intended to serve as a complete treatment for a client (these should be alternated with Holistic Manual Therapy sessions, which are more comprehensive), but it does gives us an opportunity to address particular areas of tension in the hips, pelvis, legs, and low back specifically.These Integrated Floorwork Sessions take stretching to a whole new level yet are so gentle and do not involve pain.

Available as an optional add-on service to end your Holistic Manual Therapy sessions, Swedish Massage is simply fantastic at bringing on deep relaxation and calm. And there's good science behind it; we know that massage stimulates the parasympathetic branch of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), which counters the effects of the ANS's sympathetic branch, from which fight/flight reactions arise.

Exceptional experience! Allie was able to identify and expose me to exactly the treatment that I needed. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs not only a relaxing experience but more importantly, a productive massage therapy session. The studio is a lovely space, and Allie is extremely kind and personable.

I made an appointment with Allie for a massage, after discussing the reason for it (which was a very old back pain) Allie suggested MFR. We did a combination of regular massage and MFR on that day, I loved MFR so I got on her schedule for several more. This was mid October, by the second week of November, I was pain free!
I went in with an open mind and no expectations, just looked at it as an additional attempt to address this pain that was preventing me from enjoying day to day activities. I am so happy, thankful and glad I did it and would encourage anyone with a long standing pain to give

Allie & Andrew are knowledgeable in their respective fields and are good at providing a safe & relaxing atmosphere. Allie helped me work thru past trauma and surgical scar tissue with Myofascial Release, and Andrew did my first ever Raindrop Therapy massage on the first ever International Raindrop Day. That was two days ago, and I am still feeling the benefits. I recommend them both!

Allie provided the best massage I've had in years! I recently injured my back and shoulders and she was very attentive to where I needed work and communicated with me to make sure I was comfortable. She clearly has a passion for her work and I'm grateful for the opportunity to visit her and receive top-notch service again in the near future. 5 stars all-around.

My 14 year old son was in a critical car accident 2/22/20. He sustained a TBI and had a Stroke. Allie hands down has been a HUGE part of his success with her MFR massages. After each massage we have seen him gain more skills with his left arm and leg. She takes time to listen to us and what he needs and is amazing at what she does! We couldn’t be more happy at Studio A Massage 💙💙

I can honestly say I’ve never had a massage where the therapist is so in tune with her client 😀 Allie listens to what you need and customizes your massage. This is so important, it really makes my sessions tailored to what my body needs, so I get the most out of it. Thank you Allie, not only are you skilled in what you do, but you are a sweetheart too. Can’t wait to come back again😀

I received a Relax + Release Massage last Saturday from and was so impressed and grateful for the work she did on my body! I am pregnant and she went above and beyond to accommodate my maternity needs and still give a top-notch quality massage. She made every minute count. She made me feel so comfortable and was happy to increase or… decrease pressure every time I asked. She worked mostly on my back, neck, and shoulders (per my request) and I noticed a significant difference the next day when I woke up (i.e. less tightness, less pain, overall feeling of "looser"). The studio was easy to
