Why Bassé Feels Like a Sanctuary — Not a Clinic
People often arrive at Bassé carrying years of weight on their shoulders — trauma, anxiety, unresolved memories, or the exhaustion that comes from trying every other path.
The first thing they usually notice isn’t the jungle, or the quiet, or the architecture. It’s the sense of exhale.
Bassé was designed to be the kind of place where your nervous system finally feels safe enough to breathe, soften, and open to the work ahead.
Here’s what makes that possible.
A Clinical Team You Can Truly Trust
Healing begins with safety.
Our medical team includes board-certified physicians and emergency-trained nurses who remain on-site 24/7, not on call, not offsite — physically present whenever you need them.
Their presence allows you to let go, knowing you’re monitored, supported, and cared for every moment of your journey.
We are also guided scientifically by Dr. Deborah Mash, one of the world’s leading experts in Ibogaine research. Her work — including FDA-approved human studies — continues to shape the protocols we use today.
Care That Meets You Where You Are
Trauma doesn’t just live in the mind. It lives in the body — in patterns, reflexes, and protective responses that once kept you safe.
That’s why our approach is deeply trauma-informed. We weave together:
- Somatic therapies
- Breathwork
- Bodywork
- Mindfulness
- Emotional regulation coaching
These practices help your nervous system land. They prepare you for Ibogaine in a way that feels grounded, supported, and embodied.
A Boutique Healing Environment
Bassé is intentionally small. With only six private rooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom and balcony, you’ll never feel like a number or part of a group program.
The clinic sits quietly between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, surrounded by jungle, birds, warmth, and stillness. The energy here is calming in a way that people often describe as “exactly what I didn’t know I needed.”
Support That Continues After You Return Home
Healing doesn’t end when you leave Bassé — in many ways, it begins there.
Your program includes a 30-day virtual integration course that blends:
- Somatic tools
- Journaling prompts
- Breathwork
- Emotional processing guidance
- Coaching support
This ensures your insights don’t fade — they root.
Our Safety Protocols: Healing Without Compromise
Safety isn’t a marketing phrase for us — it’s the foundation of everything we do.

Our physicians are emergency-trained, and the clinic is equipped with the necessary medical gear to respond immediately if needed.
Continuous Monitoring
Throughout the Ibogaine treatment, your vital signs and cardiac activity are tracked continuously.
