Help Allyson and Frankie open a shared studio

Dear friends,

We are so excited to announce that we're opening a studio together in May 2024! We have been talking and dreaming about this idea for almost two years, and it's finally becoming a reality. We’ve been offering services in our separate spaces for about three years, and we're so ready to grow and expand.

As two solo practitioners who deeply value connection, we have a vision of a space where we can support each other's growth and success, join and expand our communities, and create something new and meaningful together. We’re committed to co-creating a warm, cozy and affirming space where all who enter feel nourished and cared for.

Allyson will continue to offer her holistic skincare services and retail, and Frankie will continue to offer body affirming massage therapy and energy work. In addition to our regular offerings, a larger space will allow us to do things we've dreamed of for years like host workshops and community events, practitioner pop ups like acupuncture, astrology, and herbalism, an expanded retail area that will include vintage clothing and local art, a little healing library, a book club, and so much more. A larger space will also allow us to become job creators and expand our teams to offer more availability and new modalities.

We just signed a lease on a space in the Garfield neighborhood of Pittsburgh, and we can't wait to share it with you.

Some of the things we love about this space:

it's easily accessible by car, public transit or bike, it's on the first floor with its own accessible entrance, it has a gender neutral restroom, it has big beautiful windows, and the aesthetics match our style beautifully.

In order to make the space work for us and our community, it does need a little TLC. The existing layout doesn't offer much in the way of privacy, so the funds will be used toward renovations that will consist of creating two private rooms, a large retail/waiting area, and a hallway to the existing bathroom. It'll also help us outfit the space with accessible seating, aesthetically pleasing decor, an onsite washer and dryer, hiring employees, and so much more.

We are continuously grateful for all of the support that you've given the both of us over the years, and we kindly ask that you continue to support us to make this healing space a reality for us and our community for years to come.
