In the studio
A space where creativity and connection take root, where you learn to disconnect in order to reconnect, where you find grounding for growth.
At Roots to Branches Soul Studio in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, healing isn’t limited to therapy or time outdoors. It also happens here, within the cozy walls of the studio — a place where creativity, reflection, and mindful community come together.
This is a space designed for movement, art, and connection. A place where you can show up as you are and explore what it means to express, release, and restore. Here, painting and writing can become meditations, conversation can turn into discovery, and small moments of creativity can open new paths toward healing.
Every workshop, gathering, and creative experience offered inside the studio is guided by the same philosophy that shapes everything at Roots to Branches: that wellness is not one-size-fits-all, and healing can take many forms.
A look inside
The studio itself tells a story of transformation. Once an ordinary collection of rooms, it’s now a vibrant, living space shaped by care and intention. Each corner holds purpose — a reflection of the idea that creativity and mindfulness thrive in spaces that feel alive.
Five rooms form the heart of the studio. Two larger workshop areas are filled with natural light and soft textures, designed for both movement and making. The walls carry hand-painted touches of nature — a tree whose branches stretch across the room, art created with care and meaning.
In one space, yoga mats and art tables share the floor, inviting both physical movement and creative exploration. This multi-use room will host expressive arts workshops, gentle yoga sessions, and craft-based gatherings. It’s also available to reserve by the hour or day, so others in the community can bring their own mindful work to life here.
Step through a doorway and a smaller Reiki and energy work room offers a quiet retreat. It’s calm and nurturing, meant for one-on-one sessions or personal reflection, and it too can be reserved for those offering heart-centered practices. This space is also available to rent by the hour or day and is best suitable for Reiki, acupuncture, massage, and somatic therapy, and is BYO table/equipment.
Even the waiting areas have intention — spaces where you can breathe before or after a session, surrounded by grounding colors, art, and warmth. The energy of the studio feels both peaceful and creative, like a place that invites you to exhale and simply be.
Whether you’re attending a workshop, joining a book club, or bringing your family for a creative retreat, the studio offers a sanctuary where self-expression and community meet.
Community book clubs
The community book clubs at Roots to Branches Soul Studio are more than reading groups — they’re spaces for meaningful reflection and conversation. Each gathering brings people together to explore books that nurture growth, empathy, and emotional awareness.
Therese curates selections that invite introspection and connection. Some are memoirs that open hearts; some explore the secret lives of trees, others are works on mindfulness, nature, healing, or creativity. No matter the title, the focus remains the same: understanding ourselves and others through shared experience.
Participants meet in one of the studio’s cozy workshop rooms, surrounded by art and soft light. Tea and snacks are often shared, laughter flows easily, and discussions move gently between personal insights and collective themes. There’s no pressure to analyze or perform — only an invitation to be curious, open, and authentic.
The beauty of these book clubs lies in the mix of solitude and community. Reading invites private reflection, while gathering invites connection. Together, they create a rhythm that mirrors the larger work of the studio: moving between inner exploration and shared growth.
These book clubs are open to adults of all backgrounds and life stages. Whether you’re new to mindfulness or have been on a journey of self-discovery for years, you’ll find a welcoming circle of readers ready to connect and learn alongside you.
Creative arts and energy work
Inside Roots to Branches Soul Studio, creative arts and energy work sessions invite you to reconnect with yourself through color, texture, and mindful movement. These sessions are rooted in expressive therapeutic principles — combining creativity, psychology, and energy awareness to support deeper emotional healing.
Each workshop or session begins with a simple idea: that art and energy are ways to communicate what words can’t always capture. Whether through painting, collage, or other hands-on mediums, you’ll explore self-expression as a way to process experiences and uncover insights about yourself.
Therese and her team guide participants through creative practices that foster awareness and release. There’s no focus on skill or outcome here. It’s about the process — the rhythm of brushstrokes, the layers of color, the textures of emotion coming to life in physical form.
Energy work complements this process, offering a gentle way to restore balance. Reiki sessions and guided grounding exercises help participants connect with their inner calm. Together, creativity and energy awareness create a bridge between mind and body, helping you access a sense of wholeness that may have felt distant.
For adults, these sessions can offer a way to unwind from stress, reconnect with joy, and rediscover your inner voice. For children and families, they provide an opportunity to express feelings through movement and creation in a safe, playful environment.
Creative arts and energy work sessions at Roots to Branches are both personal and communal. You’ll find yourself surrounded by others who understand the courage it takes to express honestly and the beauty that emerges when you do.
Parenting support groups
Roots to Branches Soul Studio also offers monthly parenting support groups designed to help caregivers feel more grounded, informed, and connected. Each gathering focuses on a timely or meaningful topic such as technology use, puberty, emotional development, or everyday stressors that impact family life. These groups provide a gentle, nonjudgmental space where parents can share experiences, learn practical tools, and feel supported by others navigating similar challenges. Guided by thoughtful discussion and mindful reflection, the sessions help caregivers approach parenting with more clarity, confidence, and compassion.
A place for community and growth
Roots to Branches Soul Studio isn’t just a location — it’s a living, growing space built on the belief that healing happens through creativity, mindfulness, and connection. The studio offers opportunities for adults, children, and families to gather, create, and learn from one another in a supportive environment.
Therese often describes the studio as a reflection of its name: Roots to Branches. Inside these walls, you can lay down roots of self-awareness and stretch your branches toward growth, creativity, and connection. Whether through painting, reading, meditation, or mindful conversation, you’ll find ways to nourish your soul.
