Hakomi Mindful-Somatic Psychotherapy

A body-based approach to uncovering and transforming unconscious patterns

What is Hakomi?

Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy is a gentle yet powerful approach that uses mindfulness and the wisdom of the body to explore the unconscious beliefs and patterns that shape how we experience ourselves, our relationships, and the world.

Rather than analysing or trying to fix what is happening, we bring mindful attention to present moment experience — sensations, emotions, movement, images, and felt meaning. Through this embodied inquiry, deeply ingrained beliefs and emotional patterns can gradually come into awareness and be met in new ways.

This is a collaborative process grounded in safety, curiosity, and respect for your pace. As old patterns begin to soften, there is space for something more authentic to emerge — a deeper connection with yourself and a greater sense of freedom, wholeness, and ease.

Who is this for?

This work may resonate with you if you:

  • Feel drawn to deep self-inquiry and understanding yourself more fully

  • Are curious about the unconscious beliefs and patterns shaping your life and relationships

  • Find yourself returning to familiar patterns despite understanding them intellectually

  • Want to explore yourself through the body, not only through thought

  • Are interested in healing, personal transformation, and greater freedom in how you live

  • Feel drawn to the meeting place between psychological healing, embodiment, and awakening

  • Long for a deeper sense of connection with yourself and what feels most authentic and alive

  • “ Renata is an absolutely incredible therapist. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough! She has the gift to make you feel so welcome, seen and heard the moment you meet her. She creates an incredibly safe space for you to drop in, go deep, and fully surrender to the process. I have had incredible insights and experienced a deep transformation during our sessions. “

  • “I'm so grateful for the guidance Renata has given me. For a long time I was looking for someone to help me move beyond the state of anxiety and shutdown that I was in. It wasn't until I worked with Renata guiding me, that I was able to tap into what was driving my nervous system dysregulation and constant reactiveness. I feel so much more grounded and peaceful since the somatic healing with Renata. I'd recommend her to anyone struggling with emotional overwhelm or who wants to grow and heal.”

  • “I felt so grateful for the TRE practice yesterday. I feel I take something new and fresh away into my sitting practice from it.

    Renata is a very good teacher, enriched I feel, by her commitment to her own personal work.“

  • “TRE was such a unique experience from which I am sure I will continue to benefit as I practice regularly. I certainly feel the best I have for quite a while and am so grateful for the way Renata led this simple but profound technique.”

  • “Renata is a gifted teacher and I like very much the way she tunes in to an individual's response and honour that, whilst giving back what might be a good offering for them as well.

    I can see that Renata has studied the dharma extensively and it is fab to be the recipient of this specialised knowledge. I love the space and authenticity in her teachings as well as inclusion of relevance to trauma and the unconscious as related to processing deep feelings. I also really enjoyed the class on The Inner Critic!

    It seems to me that she lives what she teaches. It is so wonderful to experience that. “
