Renata Alves, Fabiana Roller & Renata Stine

Renata Alves, Fabiana Roller, and Renata Stine are three Brazilian facilitators who run healing retreats in Austin. Their main offering, Roda Do Despertar (Circle of Awakening), pulls from each of their backgrounds to create group experiences that mix breathwork, movement, sound, and energy work. The sessions run in Portuguese, which matters if you're part of Austin's Brazilian community and want this kind of work in your first language.

Each of the three brings a different training set to the circle. Renata Alves works with Reiki, guided meditation, and somatic breathing. She's trained in trauma-informed practices and uses intuitive dance as part of her facilitation. Her focus is on getting people back into their bodies, using breath and movement rather than talk.

Fabiana Roller is an integrative therapist certified in Reiki, Sound Healing, Yoga Nidra, and trauma-informed dance (200 hours). She runs both individual sessions and group work, with a focus on nervous system regulation. In practice, that means she's the one likely to bring singing bowls and guide the room through a Yoga Nidra sequence while Renata Alves handles the breathwork portions.

Renata Stine comes from a different angle. She's a systemic therapist and family constellation facilitator, also trained as an NLP Practitioner and Access Bars facilitator. Her work deals with unconscious family patterns and emotional blocks. Where the other two focus on the body and energy, Stine looks at the inherited systems people carry, the loops that run in families across generations.

Together, the three of them create retreats that layer somatic work, energy healing, and systemic therapy into a single container. The combination is unusual. Most facilitators in this space pick one lane. These three decided to share a room and let their different modalities overlap. A participant might move through breathwork, lie down for sound healing, and then do constellation work in the same session. The Portuguese-language format and the Brazilian cultural context shape how all of this lands. The warmth is built in. The group is small enough that everyone gets individual attention.

They describe their spaces as safe, welcoming, and conscious, which in practical terms means they pace things carefully and check in with participants throughout. If you've done ceremony or retreat work before, the format will feel familiar. If you haven't, the structure gives enough support to make it accessible without dumbing anything down.
