Flagship branch

Ancestral Recoding Academy

This method was never meant to stay with the two of us. We made a promise to personally guide the first 1,000 people through it. The Academy is where we will train the facilitators who carry it further.

Founding cohort forming

The training is being built with the same care we bring to our clients: small, personal, and bilingual. You will learn the method from the inside, first as a participant and then as a guide.

It is being designed around four foundations:

  1. 1
    The six phases

    Awareness, Lineage, Release, Recode, Embody and Remember, and how to guide someone through each one.

  2. 2
    English and Spanish

    Guiding clients in the language where their story lives.

  3. 3
    Clear ethical boundaries

    Coaching and education, always. Knowing when to refer someone to a licensed professional.

  4. 4
    Supervised practice

    Real sessions with feedback from Lilian and Dionne before certification.

About the Institute

Two facilitators, one purpose

Why this work exists

Many people have done the work. They have grown, learned and healed, and yet the same emotional pattern still returns. Often it is not a lack of effort. It is information running on autopilot, inherited through the family line, that was never yours to carry.

The Ancestral Recoding Method™ is our six-phase process for identifying, releasing and transforming those inherited patterns, so you can return to who you truly are. It is delivered in English and Spanish, because healing does not belong to one language.

Our promise: the first 1,000

Ancestral Reset, as we offer it today, is 1:1 and personal, with both of us directly involved. That level of care cannot scale forever, and we would rather offer quality than quantity.

So we made a commitment: to personally guide the first 1,000 people through this journey. After that, this format closes, and our focus turns to the Academy, training facilitators who can carry the method to more places.

Lilian Ruiz

Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology · Master’s Degree in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) · Certified Facilitator, Ancestral Pattern Release

“It’s not a lack of effort. It’s information operating on autopilot. When you bring it into awareness, real change begins.”

Lilian is Mexican and based in Dallas, Texas. Her background is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, influenced by Albert Ellis. She has trained in subconscious work and emotional reprogramming with Tony Robbins and Marisa Peer, and studied the biology of emotional conflict developed by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer.

Her specialty is finding the emotional and subconscious origins of patterns that repeat across a lifetime. With years of experience and hundreds of clients guided, she leads Awareness, Lineage and Release in Spanish, her native language, because some emotions are only fully felt in the language of your childhood.

Her tools Somatic awareness · Intention journaling · Healing rituals

Her work is not loud. It is effective.

Dionne Setien

Master of Science in Psychology (CBT focus) · Mindvalley Certified Life Coach · Meditation Instructor · Certified Hypnotherapist

“Have you ever felt like you’ve done the work, grown, learned, and healed… yet the same emotional pattern still returns?”

Born in Havana, Cuba, and raised in Miami, Dionne was influenced early by Carl Jung and later integrated the cognitive behavioral approach of Aaron Beck. Her training includes Vishen Lakhiani’s 6-Phase Meditation, the Silva UltraMind System, Rapid Transformational Hypnotherapy with Marisa Peer, Paradigm Shift with Bob Proctor, and The Formula with Dr. Joe Dispenza.

She has traveled to more than 30 countries and works in English and Spanish. She leads Recode, Embody and Remember, using meditation and hypnosis to install new beliefs and teach the body to respond from safety instead of fear.

Her tools Meditation & hypnosis · Nervous system regulation · Personalized affirmations · Breathwork

Her work is soulful, direct, and alive.

Together, Lilian and Dionne create a container where your deepest wounds are met with precision and tenderness, where your lineage is honored and released, and where you are never alone.

Questions & Answers

Frequently asked questions

Is this therapy or mental health treatment?

No. Ancestral Reset is a coaching and personal development experience, designed for educational and transformational purposes. It is not a substitute for psychotherapy, medical care, or treatment by a licensed mental health professional. If you are experiencing severe trauma or clinical mental health issues, we encourage you to seek support from a licensed therapist.

What is the Ancestral Recoding Method™?

Our proprietary six-phase process for identifying, releasing and transforming inherited emotional patterns:

  • Awareness. Identify the pattern. “I see the pattern.”
  • Lineage. Understand where it came from. “This didn’t start with me.”
  • Release. Let go of the emotional charge. “I no longer carry this.”
  • Recode. Install new beliefs. “I choose differently.”
  • Embody. Integrate the change into daily life. “I live this now.”
  • Remember. Return to who you truly are. “I return to who I truly am.”
What is the difference between the 2-Day and 8-Week programs?

The 2-Day Experience focuses on identifying and releasing one core pattern with full integration support: two sessions plus 66 days of WhatsApp support. The 8-Week Private Experience is a deeper immersion for multiple patterns or more complex issues, with eight sessions, extended support, and all six phases.

For the 2-Day program, who are the sessions with?

Phases 1 to 3 happen in Session 1, with Lilian or Dionne. Phase 4 happens in Session 2, with Dionne. Phases 5 and 6 continue through WhatsApp support. Spanish-speaking clients work with Lilian for Phases 1 to 3. English-speaking clients work with Dionne for all six phases.

Do I need to prepare anything?

Yes. After enrollment, you will receive a detailed Pre-Session Reflection Form. Completing it honestly is the first and most important step.

How do I know if I’m ready for this program?

This work is for people who are ready to move from insight to action. It is not about being perfect or having everything figured out. It is about a genuine willingness to look honestly at your patterns without judgment, apply the practices consistently even when they feel unfamiliar, and allow yourself to be guided.

If you feel a pull toward this work, even with some nervousness, that pull is often a sign that you are ready.

In what language is the program offered?

Both. For Spanish-speaking clients, Lilian Ruiz guides Phases 1 to 3 and Dionne Setien guides Phases 4 to 6. For English-speaking clients, Dionne guides all six phases. Both paths lead to the same place: freedom from inherited patterns and the remembrance of who you truly are.

Can an English speaker work with Lilian using a translator?

In special cases, yes, with Dionne translating during the session. This is a rare service, subject to additional fees and availability, and it is not available for the full 8-Week program. Please contact us to talk about your situation.

Why won’t the program be available forever?

It is not a marketing line. It is our mission. Ancestral Reset, with 1:1 attention and both of us directly involved, cannot scale forever. We committed to personally guiding the first 1,000 people through this journey. After that, this format closes and we focus on training facilitators who can carry the method further.

What makes your method different?

It brings together two kinds of expertise that are rarely found in one place: Lilian’s precise work identifying inherited patterns, and Dionne’s subconscious recoding through meditation and hypnosis. Add daily nervous system regulation, a Remembering phase that returns you to yourself, and 66 days of support so the pattern does not return. Two perspectives and two hearts, working together for you.

When will facilitator training open?

We are designing the Academy now. Our focus turns fully to training once we have personally guided our first 1,000 clients. To hear first when the founding cohort opens, join the Academy interest list by emailing dionne@dionnesetien.com.
