The Studio: supporting mind-body health in Reading, Berkshire.
Our location.
The Studio is in a secluded location on the University of Reading London Road Campus. Find us upstairs in the L44 building opposite the Great Hall, near the Clock Tower. Free parking is available after 5pm and at weekends.
Promoting high quality health services.
The Studio was opened in March 2025 by psychotherapist, breathwork instructor, and doctoral researcher Ann-Marie James. After trying different venues for movement therapy and somatic practices, Ann-Marie found a need in the area for a flexible healthspace. Ann-Marie brings 20+ years of clinical experience alongside 15+ years as co-director of Mind Garden, Reading’s leading psychotherapy centre.
A modern and safe approach
The Studio aims to support modern health therapies with proven safety profiles, particularly emerging body-based therapies focused on the health of the nervous system. Ann-Marie is a doctoral researcher at the University of Bath and is currently planning a clinical trial in breathwork for stress which will be conducted mainly at The Studio.
