A body-based method · Mazunte & online
The body keeps what the mind moved on from.
Your tension, numbness and bracing aren't flaws. They're protection your system learned, and protection can be unlearned. Somatic Recoding is how.

The lineage
Two people, one method, in the room with you.
Somatic Recoding is René's transmission work with the nervous system braided together with Atabey's clinical fluency with the body. Taught by one or both of us. Every container, every one-to-one, every lab.
René
Trauma-informed somatic therapy, bodywork, soma psychomagic. Trained with the Matses in the Peruvian Amazon and traditional healers around the world.
Atabey
Osho Rebalancing, Thai massage, contemplative traditions. Over a decade across four continents.
The method
The pattern is not the problem.
Your body is not broken. The tension, collapse, vigilance and over-responsibility you feel are intelligent adaptations your system learned in order to keep you safe. This work helps you listen to those patterns, understand what they're protecting, and gently recode toward more choice, presence, breath, alivness and contact.
01
Read the pattern
How protection shows up through breath, posture, sensation, emotion and touch.
02
Regulate the system
Body-based practices to soften activation, rebuild capacity, and return to yourself.
03
Work with the body
Consent, pacing, touch, and frameworks for supporting a body without forcing release.
Two paths
Same work. Two very different reasons to be here.
Both start free and live, and continue with a deep dive call with René or Atabey.

Words from past students
What people carry forward.
“It has brought me so much hope and made me feel empowered and confident in my ability to empower others. It helped me create space in my body to fully step into my true embodiment.”
“René shares her wisdom so fluidly. Her talent and skill with the human body and mind is extremely potent. I am forever grateful for attending. It was more than I could have imagined.”
“Atabey holds a strong and powerful presence as a teacher who lives in integrity with his practice. I experienced the depth and wonder of his ancient transmissions.”
