THE CABIN: LOCAL COUNSELING CENTER OPENS NEW WESTFIELD LOCATION

The Cabin Counseling & Resource Center, which provides professional mental health counseling for individuals, couples and families, was originally formed in Zionsville in 1999. Through the years the practice has grown, in large part due to the Samaritan Fund, which was created to provide therapy at a reduced rate to those otherwise unable to afford it. The Samaritan Fund pays the difference between full fees and calculated sliding-scale fees, making it possible for clients to be seen regardless of their financial situation.

General Manager Roxanna Castillo and Bartender Mike Hatfield

THE OAK BAR

N E W B A R O P E N S AT T H E S P R I N G H I L L SUITES HOTEL IN WESTFIELD Writer / Seth Johnson Photographer / Ryan Woodall

There’s a new place to go for craft beer, wine and high-end spirits in Westfield. Some might be surprised to find out where it’s located too.

Cozily tucked away in Westfield’s newly opened SpringHill Suites Hotel, the Oak Bar offers customers a relaxing refuge from the outside world. Unlike your average hotel watering hole, the Oak Bar carries a unique selection of high-end spirits and specialty cocktails, along with craft beer, a rotating wine selection and a carefully curated menu of small plates.

With 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Roxanna Castillo moved to Indiana from Houston with her family to serve as the general manager of SpringHill Suites Westfield. Managed by White Lodging, SpringHill Suites Westfield is owned by KPM Hotel Group, who ultimately decided they wanted to put a unique bar space like the Oak Bar inside of the Westfield hotel.

“For the owners, it was very important to provide something that nobody else in Westfield was providing, so that local people looking for this type of environment didn’t have to go outside of Westfield,” Castillo says of the Oak Bar’s conception. “Our goal

is to not only serve our guests, but that the people in Westfield hear about us and are able to enjoy the spirits, beer and wine selection that we have, as well as the small plates that we serve.”

As Castillo points out, the Oak Bar really is something that’s truly unique to Westfield’s SpringHill Suites.

“Not all of our SpringHill Suites have bars, and the ones that do have small bars are part of the lobby,” she says. “They [the owners] really wanted to set themselves apart and create a comfortable environment with high-end spirits and local beers that you wouldn’t be able to find anywhere else.”

WestfieldMag.com / JANUARY 2020 / WESTFIELD MAGAZINE / 5

With their spirits, Castillo says that the Oak Bar offers a great selection of high-end bourbons and whiskeys.

“With our Irish whiskey, the high-end is Yellow Spot,” she says. “For rye whiskey, we have Russell’s Reserve 6 Year. We also have WhistlePig Farmstock, and Triple Smoke Malt. We have more selections with our bourbon as well.”

To accompany their selection of high-end spirits, the Oak Bar also offers up some specialty cocktails too. In their Tequila Daisy, for example, the Oak Bar uses Olmeca Altos Tequila, organic agave and lime. And in their Stormy and Dark, the

Oak Bar uses citrus, ginger beer and Danny When it comes to their food menu, the Oak Boy spiced rum, which is made at a local Bar serves up a selection of small plates distillery in Carmel. primarily consisting of flatbreads, paninis and charcuterie boards.

In keeping it local, the Oak Bar also carries local and regional craft beers from 3 Floyds “The focus is very much about quality food,” Castillo says. “We worked with the Brewing Co., Bell’s Brewery and Upland F&B team in our corporate office to make Brewing Co. As for wine, Oak Bar visitors can find a rotating selection on hand. sure what we were serving was made with quality. So we have a very selective menu.

“With the wine selection, we do a “We wanted the plates that we served to be a rotational, so we don’t really have a select good meal versus just having a lot of stuff on brand,” Castillo says. “We work with our vendors to see what’s in, what’s selling and our menu,” she adds. what’s new, and then we rotate it to have a To this point, the Oak Bar has gotten a solid different selection for our guests.” reception from the Westfield community.

“With the locals that have come out here, it’s been great,” Castillo says.

“They’ve said, ‘Wow. We didn’t even know this was in here. It’s quiet, inviting and cozy, and it’s not too far from my house.’”

In an effort to get more Westfield residents familiar with the Oak Bar, Castillo says they’ve been teaming up with local businesses and inviting them in for a gathering.

IU HEALTH Author: Dr. Sumita Jain, family medicine specialist at IU Health Physicians Primary Care in Noblesville If you’re like many Americans, you might be kicking off your year with new resolutions and commitments to yourself. Perhaps you want to lose weight, save money or eat healthier. New Year’s resolutions are often well-intended, but finding a way to stick to your commitment can be tricky. Here’s my advice: focus on little milestones to help you reach your long-term goal.

Large goals can be intimidating and difficult to reach. If your goal is to get more exercise, start small by adding 30 minutes of movement to each day. If it’s difficult for you to get a full thirty-minute exercise in it at one time, break it up. For example, maybe you can take a fifteen-minute walking break at work, and then take your dog for a fifteen-minute walk in the evening. Not only can this help you reach your larger goal, but it can reduce stress, improve your mood and keep your heart healthy.

This time of year, you might notice more commercials and advertisements about dieting and special nutrition plans. Be

JAZZERCISE

cautious of trendy diets, and instead, focus on the basics of good nutrition. A good rule of thumb is the 80/20 rule. Make healthy choices 80 percent of the time and allow yourself to indulge in less healthy options 20 percent of the time.

In addition to physical activity and nutrition, consider your sleep habits and emotional health. They are critical to your overall wellbeing.

If you’re struggling with your health or don’t know where to start, talk with your doctor. You shouldn’t only be going to a doctor when something is wrong. Scheduling annual appointments will help you stay on top of age-appropriate screenings, such as heart scans and mammograms, and regular visits with your doctor can help detect a problem before it even starts.

EAT THE FROG

Jazzercise is the original dance party workout. Blending dance with Pilates, yoga, kickboxing and strength training, one 55-minute session can burn up to 800 calories. The results? Long, lean muscles and an undeniable mood boost. There’s something unique about Jazzercise. It’s hard to describe, but you’ll feel it when you’re here. No judgement, no intimidation. Instructors and customers make you feel like you belong. Classes are one-stopshopping that include both cardio and strength training. Jazzercise Carmel/Westfield offers 35 classes per week, 11 different formats including Dance Mixx (our signature format), interval, fusion, HIIT, Strike, Core, Strength, Low Impact/High Intensity, Lite and Jrs. For information, visit http://jcls.jazzercise.com/facility/jazzercisecarmelwestfield-fitness-center or call Susan at 317-867-5305.

Eat the Frog Fitness' philosophy is based around creating an environment and program that is welcoming to all fitness levels, abilities, and interests. We use a small group training method that integrates functional movements, cutting edge technology, and a science-based approach called periodization that keeps your body challenged and your mind engaged every session.

We pride ourselves on offering multiple options for all levels of fitness, including regressions for those needing modifications and progressions for those needing more advanced exercises.

Most importantly we bring 100% of our energy to keep participants engaged and motivated throughout each session.

Our elements of personalization and customization offer a solution to anyone looking for a fitness concept that can suit them, regardless of their fitness level, physical abilities, or limitations.

SHINE YOGA Yoga in 2020? If you are looking to improve your overall wellness in the new year, if self-care is at the top of your list or looking to compliment your existing workout routine, then look no further than Yoga. What is Yoga? Yoga is a practice dating over 3000 years old, meaning to yoke, or connect the body, mind and breath. This is one reason yoga differs from other types of exercise. Yoga is complimentary. It can be done alone, or in combination with any other type of physical activity.

Yoga is for EVERYBODY. It can be intimidating to start a new activity and that’s completely normal. The good news is, no matter your level of fitness or capabilities, you too, can reap the rewards of yoga.

Everybody is unique and the body will move in the unique way it is capable of while doing yoga. With a variety of styles and increasing

in popularity and acceptance, those that may have overlooked this type of exercise are beginning to see the benefits of yoga go far beyond the physical poses. If you have ever stepped into a yoga class you understand. Yoga has a way of short circuiting the mental patterns that causes anxiety. You see yoga is not about self-improvement, but it is about self-acceptance. We all have heard the saying “just be you” and may have even given this advice to those around us. Yoga allows the best version of ourselves to emerge leaving worries, stress, unhealthy lifestyles, and things that serve no purpose behind. The majority of students walk into yoga to reap the physical benefits, but then quickly realize that yoga goes far beyond the physical and allows us to experience whole mind-body wellness.

MEAL PREP SERVICE OFFERS CLEAN & ORGANIC FOOD IN HAMILTON COUNTY Writer / Jon Shoulders Photography Provided

and snacks for five days out of the week that are ready to be heated up and eaten.”

people who are already clients of our meal prep business.”

Six years ago, Lacy Clark founded what she says still stands as Hamilton County’s only meal prep service that offers food free of sugar, sodium, dairy, HMOs, GMOs and MSG. Since then, Clark says her business, FitWoo Nutrition, has helped to change the lives of many local individuals and families through clean eating.

Clark originally founded FitWoo as a fitness training service but realized many of her clients weren’t seeing results despite a clear dedication during gym time. In 2013, she transitioned her business to focus primarily on nutrition and says she’s seen drastic improvements in the shape and overall health of many clients since that time.

Clark founded FitWoo as a female-only concept, but four years ago decided to establish the company as a meal prep service for any individual, couple or family who might be interested in dietary improvement.

“I’ve been an athlete for 24 years and was in personal training for eight years,” says Clark, a native of Huntington, Indiana, and an IUPUI grad. “I’ve seen a lot of people try hard in the gym but fail in their eating habits, and what we do is help to fill that missing piece. We provide full, clean meals

“I realized I wasn’t solving or helping anyone’s problems - I was personally training people but they were turning around and eating junk food,” Clark recalls.

“So I transitioned full time to nutrition. We do still have personal trainers who will go to your home and work with you, but that’s for

“I really saw a need among women who were having kids and down on themselves about their weight, and that’s why we started out as female-only,” Clark says. “But it’s grown to be a service for everyone. I’d say about 90% of our clientele are people who know how to eat healthy but don’t have time for the prepping and cooking. I work with a lot of attorneys, realtors and people who might be eating in their car every day.”

Owner Lacy Clark

Full-time clients of FitWoo Nutrition receive three meals and two snacks per day, for five days a week. Each vacuum-sealed meal is made in the Cicero-based FitWoo kitchen, and meals are delivered to clients on Sunday nights for the week labeled with full nutrition facts. Clark offers custom, individualized meal planning for weight-loss and fitness competition clients, but primarily offers eight staple meals and two new menu items per week for general clients.

“All the meals that are delivered are freezer and oven safe and ready to be reheated and eaten,” Clark explains. “It’s just real food, from the ground — simple. The important thing is to make the meals flavorful because people will think this food, that’s free of all the bad stuff, is boring.”

To that end, Clark released a cookbook last year titled “Clean It Up,” with more than 50 recipes she’d compiled over the previous five years along with fellow chefs and family members.

Her idea was to offer simple recipes free of salt, sugar and dairy — along with some vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options — that the average family can make and actually enjoy.

When it comes to her meal prep service, Clark says she’s ultimately trying to effect permanent, positive changes in the lives of her clients. She says she’s tripled her clientele in the last 12 months and hopes to continue growing in order to help as many people as possible with their dietary habits.

“I always tell people that I have nothing to sell you — I’m just teaching you how to change your lifestyle because we don’t believe in diets,” Clark says. “I grew up in a household where my mom tried every diet out there, and none of them worked. I wanted to crush the mold of diets, and we’re really about clean eating. The only thing is you have to want to be healthy and make changes, and we can give you the tools to succeed.”

IU HEALTH JOE & SHELLY SCHWARZ CANCER CENTER 11645 N Illinois St. Carmel, IN 46032 (317) 688-4800

IU HEALTH JOE & SHELLY SCHWARZ CANCER CENTER OFFICIALLY OPENS Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photography Provided

The Indiana University Health Joe & Shelly Schwarz Cancer Center, an 88,000 square foot, two-story facility that just opened on the south side of the IU Health North Hospital campus, is a godsend for cancer patients and their families, who were consulted from the get-go about the project so the cancer center staff could learn how best to serve patients in a holistic way. They found that patients craved a warm, caring, comforting environment in which to heal, so while the building is big and beautiful, it still offers that cozy, community-focused feel.

“We’ve taken that imperative as part of our journey in constructing both the programming and the physical facility of the cancer center,” says Dr. Sara Jo Grethlein, Medical Director of the center.

They started by streamlining the check-in process. She notes that in the past, patients had to check in at multiple times to see different doctors on the same day.

“Now, we have coordinated all of that so that, from the patient’s perspective, it feels like one visit that is coordinated for them,” Dr. Grethlein says.

And anything that can make the cancer journey less exhausting is welcome.

“When someone is going through a complex cancer journey, they are often getting chemotherapy and radiation at the same time, and having to travel to two different facilities every day or see doctors in multiple locations, which adds to the distress,” says Dr. Grethlein, who is also a Professor of Medicine, Hematology, & Oncology at the IU School of Medicine.

“Patients and their families are excited about having one-stop shopping by having all of this care combined under one roof.”

12 / WESTFIELD MAGAZINE / JANUARY 2020 / WestfieldMag.com

In mid-2020, in partnership with physicians at Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health, the IU Health Schwarz Cancer Center will open its adolescent and young adult unit — the only one in the region.

“Besides giving these young patients their own space, we’re going to have experts in helping with fertility preservation, making sure that as we are curing their cancer, we are preserving their future,” says Grethlein, who is grateful to the naming donors who made this center possible.

The IU Health Schwarz Cancer Center is utilizing nurse navigators to help patients understand what they can expect even before arriving. In addition, from a programming perspective, they have a top-notch radiation facility not only for what they call External Beam Radiation, but also for brachytherapy to provide radiation directly to tumors and minimize side effects to patients.

Three existing practices are coming into the space to create the foundation of the center — the Breast Cancer Center at IU Health North Hospital, the IU Health Central Indiana Cancer Centers, who are a part of the School of Medicine’s Division of Hematology and Oncology, and the IU Health Springmill Infusion Center.

“We’re starting off with teams of physicians who have already been serving patients in this community,” Dr. Grethlein adds.

Such doctors include Dr. Kathy Miller, well-renowned and respected in the breast cancer community, and Dr. Rich Zellars, Chairman of the Department of Radiation Oncology at IU School of Medicine, who is well known for his work in making the radiation journey easier for breast cancer patients. They’re also introducing a brand-new thoracic oncology program, a pulmonologist and critical care interventionalist, gynecologic oncologist, and ENT physicians.

The integrated health program aims to nourish the whole patient by supporting them physically, psychologically and nutritionally. This support may include art therapy, cosmetology, tai chi, cooking classes or technology-driven workshops.

“Shelly walked beside her husband, Joe, on his cancer journey and she remembers vividly what made the difference for him,” Dr. Grethlein adds.

Now, many more cancer patients will feel that support and love, too.

“Between our psychologists, social workers, dietitians, doctors, nurses, medical assistants and administrative staff, we will be there for our patients,” Dr. Grethlein says.

The Indiana University Health Joe & Shelly Schwarz Cancer Center is located at 11645 N. Illinois Street in Carmel. You can visit them online at iuhealth.org/cancer for more information.

Their state-of-the-art infusion suite has 22 slots for patients to receive cancer therapy, 16 of which are in the bright airy common treatment room divided by sliding wooden doors. The other six rooms are private for patients who are either feeling unwell, fighting infection or simply prefer receiving treatment in an individualized space.

CLUB PILATES Pilates is an amazing way to achieve proper alignment and body balance. It’s a workout method that addresses the entirety of the muscular system with equal attention to the joint and skeletal systems. This is why Pilates devotees repeatedly proclaim to feel taller after their sessions.

Chiropractic emphasizes manual techniques, including joint adjustments and/or manipulation by the practitioner. Your chiropractor works to release pain and correct alignment.

Pilates’ goal is to gently build muscular strength around the positive outcomes from your chiropractic visit, working in concert to help you feel better faster, and for longer. We’re here to build you up for the long haul.

Pilates uses highly specific apparatus that allows you to explore movement safely, often with a stable, neutral spine.

Previously, the large and expensive Pilates equipment meant that Pilates was only offered at expensive private studios. Club Pilates has shattered this ceiling by expanding the size of the traditional studio and offering Pilates classes to up to 12 people at a time. Now anyone can enjoy and intimate class setting guided by a certified instructor with attention to detail.

“We don’t turn anyone away, nor do we have a cap on how much assistance we give,” explains The Cabin Founder and Executive Director Deidra Rausch. “In other words, we don’t limit the number of sessions that someone receiving assistance is able to have.”

According to Rausch the number one deterrent for mental healthcare is cost, and number two is access to services.

In addition, sometimes folks who need assistance also have transportation issues.

Last summer Rausch was considering opening another location - one that would be more convenient for folks in Fishers, Westfield and Carmel - when she stumbled upon a lovely house on South Walnut Street in Westfield that spoke to her.

“We want our offices to feel homey, not medical,” Rausch says.

The find seemed fateful as the home was situated close to the Midland Trace Trail, which Rausch felt was perfect for the Adventure Therapy program used by several of Rausch’s therapists. In fact, the staff recently added fly fishing and kayak therapy to the program.

“Kids are less likely to grumble if they know

they are going to have a session climbing trees rather than sitting in a room being asked how they feel,” says Rausch, who praises the various modalities The Cabin utilizes to suit the needs of each individual. “Not every kid wants to climb trees or be outside. Some love art, writing and music, so we incorporate those elements into therapy.”

The Westfield location, which opened in September, has a studio that is perfect for art therapy, trauma-sensitive yoga classes, and sessions that combine personal training and therapy.

“We may end up popping a garden in the side yard,” Rausch says. “We like doing innovative things.”

A large portion of The Cabin’s therapy options is possible thanks to the money raised via the Samaritan Fund. Since 2002 when dollar amounts for the Fund began to be formally tracked, it has provided over $750,000 in assistance.

Nevertheless, the Westfield location is in need of donors. To raise money for the Samaritan Fund, the Cabin Counseling & Resource Center hosts two annual events one in April and one in November.

“We estimate that in 2020 the Samaritan Fund will provide over $145,000 in financial assistance,” Rausch says. “Our fundraising events are the primary vehicle for raising Samaritan Funds so we appreciate support, both from businesses and individuals.”

In 2020 Rausch and her staff will host their third annual Urban Vines Wine & Beer Tasting in Westfield on Monday, April 27. It’s an evening of food, tastings and live auction items. On November 6 they will host an Unmasking Mental Health event at VisionLoft on Delaware Street in downtown Indy.

“Mental health requires a great deal of resilience to move through to the other side of darkness,” Rausch says.

In 2019, The Cabin awarded its first annual Resilience Award to race car driver Conor Daly, who shared his engaging story of resilience.

Resilience can be a tall order. Studies have found that cell phones, tablets and other electronic devices have increased rates of depression and suicidality, and decreased sleep quality across the general population - especially among the younger generation.

This behavior, in turn, affects parents and other family members.

“If we can treat the individual in therapy, we make a difference for the rest of the family system,” Rausch says. “That’s why when we talk about total annual impact, we estimate that we impact 1,100 individuals but 3,500plus family members.”

One technique growing in popularity is eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), a form of psychotherapy that can work well for patients with post-traumatic stress disorder. The Cabin has three providers trained in EMDR. WestfieldMag.com / JANUARY 2020 / WESTFIELD MAGAZINE / 17

“(EMDR) has proven to be a highly effective technique to unlock the brain both for kids and adults with persistent anxiety and depression,” Rausch says.

The Cabin also offers prospective clients up to three free, 20-minute meet-and-greets with therapists. This provides a prospective client with a chance to meet a potential therapist, and can facilitate quicker progress once a therapist is selected since a connection has already been made.

“I believe that the majority of therapy works because of the therapeutic alliance,” Rausch says. “If you don’t feel a connection to a therapist, change just isn’t going to happen. But when you do, a world of positive change is possible.”

“Mrs. McKinney has helped me through some of the hardest times in my life,” she adds. “To this day, I try and see her at least once a week just to say hello or have a conversation. It is not only Mrs. McKinney at Westfield, but there are so many teachers like her. I know so many students that have a relationship similar to mine with a teacher and those relationships will stick with the students for the rest of their lives.”

Eggleston says Student Impact of Westfield has also helped her tremendously.

Eggleston also says she loves living in Westfield.

“I have always felt safe and secure while being in Westfield,” she says. “I love the amenities and opportunities available. I love that Westfield has fun things to do with friends, and also fun things to do with family.” She believes Student Impact is a big part of that.

Danyele Easterhaus, executive director of Student Impact of Westfield, says says she is thrilled Eggleston has been recognized.

Turner has also been to the Dominican Republic four times on mission trips.

“During the trips, we help build a school for kids who wouldn’t get a decent education otherwise,” Turner says. “It’s called Freedom International Ministries. I have really enjoyed helping and seeing the culture in the Dominican Republic.”

Freedom International Ministries started a bilingual, Christian school near the town of Ramon Santana. More than 100 sugarcane villages are found in the surrounding area.

The Ministries’ school serves the families of Ramon Santana and the nearby bateyes. A batey is a settlement around a sugar mill.
