SomaBolo
SomaBolo was originally created in 2009 by Brandon Joe Rutten to bring mindful health to the community. The SomaBolo therapy studio has been serving the Indianapolis and surrounding areas since 2015 from its new location at Broadway Church, just north of downtown Indy.
The name SomaBolo combines two ancient Sanskrit words, SOMA, meaning “body” (with specific reference to include not only the physical, but emotional, intellectual, and ethereal bodies as well) along with the word BOLO, meaning “hooray”! SomaBolo means having joy in the experience of your body.

Ashley Tumey
Hi, I’m Ashley! I’m a licensed massage therapist and Thai bodywork practitioner based in Mooresville, Indiana. I had previously worked as a Registered Nurse for 8 years. I feel my career in the medical field gave me a substantial foundation that has been treasured along my path. In 2018 a whole new world opened up for me when I was introduced to Reiki Holy Fire. Right away I began practicing on my family and friends. This piqued my interest in bodywork as a whole. I left nursing and started massage school where I was introduced to Thai massage and I was hooked! Fast forward a couple years and I’m now a proud business owner of Peaceful Prana Massage and Bodywork, LLC. I am both honored and humbled to have the opportunity to work with those in my community as well as help share the practices and techniques of Thai bodywork with other practitioners interested in learning.
I enjoy anything that involves the outdoors; camping, hiking, star gazing, animals, adventures with my little family, yoga, acro, exploring and learning, trying to live life to the fullest!
