FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
A few common questions about somatic therapy, embodiment work, retreats, and the experiences offered at Senses.
What is somatic therapy?
+
Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach to healing that works with the nervous system, emotions, sensation, and embodied awareness. Rather than focusing on thoughts alone, somatic work supports individuals in understanding how stress, trauma, and survival patterns are held within the body.
Who is this work for?
+
Senses supports individuals navigating chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, burnout, trauma, relational patterns, nervous system dysregulation, and disconnection from self. Many people arrive at this work after years of functioning while quietly feeling disconnected beneath the surface.
Do I need prior experience with somatic work?
+
No prior experience is necessary. Sessions and experiences are approached gently, collaboratively, and at a pace that feels supportive for each individual's nervous system and emotional capacity.
What happens during a somatic therapy session?
+
Sessions are individualized and may include somatic awareness, nervous system support, movement, breathwork, emotional processing, relational exploration, and grounding practices. The work is not focused on forcing emotional experiences. It is focused on developing greater awareness, regulation, safety, and connection to self.
Is this traditional talk therapy?
+
Somatic therapy includes conversation, but also works through the body, nervous system, emotions, sensation, and embodied experience. The focus is on supporting greater connection between emotional experience, physiology, and relational patterns.
Are sessions trauma-informed?
+
Yes. All offerings at Senses are rooted in trauma-informed care, emotional safety, nervous system awareness, compassionate support, and intentional pacing.
Can I book sessions while visiting Cabo?

What types of experiences does Senses offer?

What are immersive containers?
