Meet Nancy, she is among the strongest women both physically and emotionally we know. Also, she is the heart and soul of Studio B Wellness in German Village. It has been our pleasure to get to know her and share a little of her amazing spirit and fervor with you.

A: Nancy Cushman Brown… owner/founder of Studio B Wellness, friend, mother, daughter, sister. Caregiver, motivator, ass kicker but only because I love you with all my heart and know that “you can do it!”

A: I teach Barre Exercise… AKA a mindbody experience that CHANGES you. You will become more confident and feel so beautiful just after a few classes. Barre exercise challenges your body and your mind in a way that is hard to describe.  You will connect with women in a brand new way and possibly a healthier way.  You will be encouraged, not judged. (I am serious) You will have a new outlook on life, improved self esteem, better concentration, new friends and a rockin’ tight body that includes a lifted booty, strong lean thighs, ripped abs and carved shoulders.

A: So, not only has barre changed my life, I felt a need to share barre exercise. I also saw an opportunity to do something bigger, more meaningful. My desire was to create a one of a kind space where women could come together to feel safe, supported, encouraged, never judged while getting an AMAZING workout. I imagined networking happening while bodies were changing. I wanted it to be a whole body/mind experience, not JUST a workout. Nutrition is a huge part of wellbeing and I knew that would need to be addressed. Simi has stepped into that role beautifully. I am thrilled to have her on board with us. I hoped to create a space where others with a vision to begin a new business could be backed by a group of women and help them launch the concept. Studio B is all of the above and more.

These amazing women are the incredible instructors at Studio B! Cassandra, Nancy and Simi.

In addition to being a Studio B barre instructor, Simi Botic is also the brilliant mind behind the Micro Harvest!

Cassandra is a Sr. Instructor, former ballerina, amazing mother and all around funny, talented woman!

A: My mother… She had a very severe stroke last August and has had other health complications as a result. The left side of her body no longer functions. Still smiles, jokes around and works so hard in PT, OT and ST every day. The lady is a fighter and does not give up!!

A: I have an awesome new website with amazing photos from Derk’s Works. The new website provides a lot of basic info about Studio B and the gorgeous photo help to tell our story. www.peacelovestudioB.com

A: Taking classes with us at Studio B is the best way. We are on facebook and instagram. You can just call me! I love coffee, lunch and wine. (-;

A: Ohhhhhh, love this… I would take Studio B and all of my amazing clients with me to a sunny, warm and sandy destination. We would be able to look at the beach while taking barre classes!

A: I can barefoot water ski!

A: I hope to keep Studio B small and intimate. It would be great to add another dedicated instructor and more classes to the schedule if the demand is there.

A: My clients whom also become my dearest friends. When you are surrounded by a community of women like we have at Studio B, fear melts away. I am thrilled each and every time I cue the music up to teach. Every day I am happy to push myself to be there for them. I remain open to fresh ideas to improve. I should probably be afraid, but somehow it “just works” and I am not. I have two INCREDIBLE instructors, Cassandra and Simi. I love them like sisters and they help me make it happen. I feel so fortunate and blessed to be where I am and doing what I love. Crap… should I be worried? Maybe I am naive?
