There’s something undeniably magical about finding a kindred spirit—a person who feels like a mirror yet reflects something entirely new. That’s how it felt when we came together to create Embodied Experiences. From the beginning, it was clear – this wasn’t just a collaboration, it was a creative kinship. We often say we feel like sisters—not in the way of shared DNA, but in the way our energies meet, spark, and weave into something neither of us could create alone. This connection has become the heart of everything we offer.
We share a deep passion for somatic healing, nervous system regulation, creative exploration, and holding safe, transformative spaces for others. We laugh easily, create intuitively, and share a fierce commitment to integrity and embodiment in our work. We both believe that healing must happen on every level—physical, emotional, spiritual, and creative.
But what makes our collaboration truly powerful is that while we align on vision and values, we bring beautifully different gifts to the table.
Ashley Rogers, LPC-S, SEP, is a seasoned trauma therapist with over 20 years of experience in somatic therapy and nervous system healing. She is a masterful space holder with deep clinical wisdom and a calming, grounded presence. Ashley integrates everything from Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Rupture and Repair Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, SAFE & SOUND Protocol, to Brainspotting. She’s also a teacher, guiding other clinicians into embodied, compassionate care. Her lens is systemic, developmental, and body-based—and her ability to track what’s happening beneath the surface is uncanny.
Then there’s me—your co-host and fellow creative guide. I offer expressive and creative arts as a pathway to self-discovery. I work with practices that awaken your imagination, tap into your inner knowing, and help you express what words alone can’t always say. Think collage, movement, journaling, and playful exploration of materials and metaphors. My background in the expressive arts allows me to create experiences that unlock deep emotional layers in a gentle, affirming way. I integrate everything from expressive arts to clinical hypnosis, EMDR, acudetox and yoga in my work.
Together, we create a retreat space where healing isn’t just about “processing”—it’s about experiencing. It’s about reconnecting with your body, reclaiming your voice (in all its forms), and remembering the parts of yourself that may have gone quiet in the face of trauma, stress, or disconnection.
