Meet the Ashleys, Co-founders of Embodied Experiences

Embodied Experiences, LLC was founded in 2024 by Ashley Rogers and Ashley Kuehne, two Dallas-based friends who share a love of creativity, nature, travel and bringing people together. It started with a retreat for helping professionals and quickly grew into creative wellness retreats and groups for everyone. Today we host small-group, all-inclusive retreats in Texas and Santa Fe, New Mexico, along with groups and community events in Dallas.

Every experience weaves together expressive and creative arts, storytelling, yoga and mindful movement, time in nature, and genuine connection. We plan and lead every retreat ourselves. Groups are capped at 10 people, including the two of us, so everyone is seen.

Ashley Rogers, LPC-S, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner

With over two decades of experience, Ashley brings a deep understanding of healing, viewing her work through an attachment, developmental, and systemic lens. She integrates somatic, creative, and action-oriented therapeutic methods, offering a dynamic and holistic approach to wellness.

As an expert in central nervous system regulation and somatic practices, Ashley not only applies these techniques in her work but also dedicates herself to training the next generation of clinicians in embodied modalities. Her commitment to education and innovation ensures that these transformative approaches continue to grow and evolve.

Beyond her professional life, Ashley embraces creativity and exploration. Whether she’s discovering new music, making and appreciating art, or immersing herself in nature, she finds joy in self-expression and connection. She also has a deep love for travel and exceptional food, always seeking inspiration in the world around her.

Embodied Experiences retreats are creative wellness experiences, not therapy. For individual therapy with Ashley, see her practice below.

Although we grew up in different parts of Texas, we’ve always felt like sisters, connected in a way that transcends time. When we finally met in our 40s, it was clear our bond was meant to be. Nothing inspires us more than planning each gathering and imagining the people we get to welcome. From brainstorming fresh ideas to weaving meaningful themes, we pour our passion into creating unforgettable moments.

A note on what we offer: Our founders’ professional training shapes how thoughtfully we design and hold each experience, but Embodied Experiences retreats and groups are educational and experiential wellness programs. They are not psychotherapy, counseling or medical treatment, and they don’t create a therapist–client relationship.

We hold a deep commitment to creating spaces rooted in equity, safety, and belonging. We affirm and support all communities—especially those historically marginalized—and are dedicated to social justice through inclusive care, transformative practices, and advocacy that uplifts diverse identities and lived experiences.

We’re always dreaming up new experiences, including custom retreats for teams and organizations. If you’re ready for an adventure, reach out.

TESTIMONIALS

This was a wonderful weekend away that allowed me to fully recharge for my personal and professional life. It was balanced and well-time, scheduled enough to feel like we were getting a lot out of it while also allowing time to be alone in thought and get the most out of the experiential and self-care activities. I couldn’t recommend the re-treat or leaders enough!

Megan Healers RE-Treat

I was feeling lost and burnt out before attending this retreat. The leaders did a great job taking care of all the details, building a interesting and exploratory schedule that allowed for introspection and rest while also tapping into ceremony and introspection. The cacao ceremony and sound bath were lovely, as were the visualizations and art therapy. I was refreshed and rejuvenated upon my return home.me. Highly recommended!

RachelManifesting, Malas & Mandalas

This retreat for therapists was just the kind of self-care that I needed and don’t get enough of, considering the heavy lifting I do with clients week after week. I left feeling refreshed and inspired. Highly recommend.

ErinHEALERS RE-Treat

I HIGHLY recommend attending an Embodied Experience retreat! It was a very meaningful experience for me. “The Ashleys” prepared a wonderful weekend of manifesting-inspiring exercises and activities- imagery, yoga, arts, drama, fire circle ritual, cacao ceremony, and more. They also provided other optional activities. I signed up for horse yoga/meditation and loved it! The ranch itself was amazing- beautiful setting, friendly staff, great accommodations, and plenty of food! I can’t say enough good things about the weekend. It was powerful and enlightening. All around good vibes!! =)

HeatherManifesting, Malas & Mandalas

As I let myself go and fully engage in the relaxation and healing, I was able to release my inner struggles and was wholly supported!! I have some unusual food allergies and those were completely acknowledged and arrangements were made. We were pampered and gifted many things both physical and mental. I would recommend attending this Re-Treat to other Healers looking to recharge!!

ChariHEALERS RE-Treat

This retreat is lead by amazing clinicians who guide you through a journey of self exploration and healing. The modalities used are unique and tailored to illicit movement and change in the body and mind. I can not speak highly enough about this retreat and will attend again when offered.

AnonymousHEALERS RE-Treat

The Ashley’s and Embodied Experiences Retreat for Healers is an opportunity you don’t want to miss! From their thoughtfulness and care throughout the entire weekend to the engaging activities, expressive mediums, and the way they cultivated an atmosphere of safety and warmth, every detail allowed for genuine connection with other healers. Hearing from others in the same community sparked meaningful conversations and offered countless moments of validation. I am forever grateful for the experience and look forward to many more in the future.

KayManifesting, Malas & Mandalas

I highly recommend this healers RE-Treat for anyone in a helping profession. The focus on the specific ways that our work as healers can challenge us and the support from peers that truly relate and understand provided me with an opportunity to unburden myself and feel nurtured. It was evident that Ashley R., Ashley K., and Lulu meticulously crafted the retreat with such care and attention for each participant. They included so many details and surprises that made me feel super pampered. It was a blissful, rejuvenating experience.

KimHealers RE-Treat

This retreat significantly exceeded my already high expectations. The Ashleys knocked all the important things out of the park – thematic focus, variety of offerings, creating supportive community, balancing being serious about doing healing work with an overall friendly relaxed vibe, location, food, commitment to the work- all of it. I came away with some important things for myself personally and for my therapy practice. I’m already looking forward to the next one!

GailHEALERS RE-Treat

Amazing intention and attention to detail by the facilitators. Facilitators did an incredible job of balancing being a part of the collective experience, providing supportive guidance, managing all the logistics, and stepping back to allow participants time to connect and bond. It was a great mix. I felt very cared for and seen. Great facilitators, group of participants, activities, facilities and overall experience.

LynnManifesting, Malas & Mandalas

This was a great way to invigorate the start of the year and reset from the last. So much gratitude 🙏

JoannManifesting, Malas & Mandalas

The Ashleys offered a healer’s retreat that helped me destress, reset, and rejuvenate. Their creative individual and group therapeutic approaches couple with thematic strands that led to journaling, artwork, and time in nature helped to clear my mind and create new thoughts. For those seeking a healing weekend, I highly recommend Embodied Experiences.

TiffanyHEALERS RE-Treat

Embodied Experiences was a wonderful experience for me personally and professionally. I really enjoyed getting to know other women–personally and professionally. It’s amazing that we all struggle with many of the same things, and there were so many connections in our group. I had high hopes for healing and for this retreat to be inspirational to me. The retreat exceeded my expectations, and I am incredibly grateful I had the opportunity to attend and be included.

AshleyHEALERS RE-Treat

I had such an amazing time at the SHE RISES retreat in Broken Bow! The women were incredible—so open, kind, and inspiring. The location was beautiful, the activities were thoughtful and fun, and everything felt really intentional. The Ashleys took care of us from start to finish and created such a safe, welcoming space. I left feeling refreshed, connected, and so grateful for the whole experience.

I would highly recommend this retreat for anyone that wants to get away from the busyness of life and slow down to have some self care time. Priceless!
