We navigate the world successfully using 5 Senses.
5 Senses are our answer & antidote to stress.
5 Senses is the result of a quest for tech to remove stress quickly by applying 20 years of study and mentoring with scientists and crafts-people bringing nature and calm into modern urban life.
The story of 5 Senses begins with Sosei Studio, a sensory immersion spa (bricks & mortar) in Vancouver founded in 2001 by Katrina and Yoshinari Nakamura. No strangers to stress as owners of 6 restaurants, the family faced opposing advice for reproductive challenges from Western and Eastern physicians. Katrina pursued a doctorate on stress impacts on pregnancy with a ground-breaking neuroscience team cracking the stress code at the Psycho-Neuro-Immunology Lab at Berlin’s Charité University of Medicine and was introduced to cross-talk among our body’s skin, gut, fluids and nerves with our surrounding environment and brain.
A world of opportunity for antidoting stress in real time through a cross-talk lens. The purpose of 5 Senses Lab (2025) is to make innovative science practical for innovative stress removal in tech with a pleasant experience.
