Family Constellations is a systemic healing method that reveals hidden family and generational dynamics and patterns shaping our lives. Through the “knowing field,” representatives embody system members, bringing unconscious dynamics to light.
This work reveals truth in our family and ancestral lineage, helps restore the order of love in our family system, releases inherited burdens and traumas, and reconnects us with the love and strength of our lineage — so life can flow again.
A very simplified way of describing constellation work is “moving from blind love to love you can see.”
When we are able to see the people we are blindly bound to, conscious love is free to flow. This love means: ”You are you, and I am I. You have your fate and I have my fate. I remain bound to you in love forever, even if my fate is different from yours. Stay friendly if I leave you to your fate and your suffering, and go on to live my own life. I fully accept you and our family, including everything that has happened. I agree to the way everything has happened. I agree to how you are.

How does it Work?
Family Constellation work revolves around two core questions:
What causes someone to become entangled in the fate of another family member?
And what has the power to resolve that entanglement and restore balance?
A third question naturally emerges: What allows love to flow freely again?
These essential questions are explored and revealed in countless ways through constellation work. Each session offers a unique pathway for the hidden dynamics of the family system to come to light, allowing healing movements to unfold.
How the Work Happens
Family Constellation work can be experienced in different formats—each offering its own depth and richness.
Whether you’re joining us online or in person, one-on-one private session or group workshops, you’ll be held in a safe, grounded container where deep healing movements can emerge.
All these settings are powerful in their own way. No matter the format, the knowing field has a way of showing you exactly what’s ready to be seen.
In a group, one person brings an issue they’d like to shift—something that’s been weighing on them or repeating in their life—and the facilitator gently guides the process.
After a brief conversation—not diving into the full “story,” but just enough to feel into the heart of the issue—representatives are chosen from the group. These representatives may stand in for family members, emotions, or abstract forces like “shame,” “truth,” or “the system.” Often, the client doesn’t even know the people representing their family.
And yet… something remarkable happens.
Just through intention, these representatives begin to sense things—emotions, body sensations, movements—that reflect something true about the family system. It’s as if we’re tapping into a greater knowing, what we call the Knowing Field. Patterns that were once hidden begin to come to light: invisible loyalties, entanglements, unspoken grief, interrupted connections.
As these dynamics become visible, healing movements can emerge—often through simple but powerful phrases we call “healing sentences.” These moments can shift something deep inside: a letting go, a reconnection, or a sense of peace.
And here’s the magic of group work: even if you’re not the one setting up your constellation, you may feel something inside you shift—just by witnessing, or by being a representative. Everyone in the room is touched in some way.
What Happens in a One-on-One Family Constellation?
In a one-on-one session, you bring your issue to the session privately, focusing on something you’d like to shift—whether it’s about family, relationships, health, work, or something deeper inside.
Instead of using live people as representatives (like in group work), we use various of tools, such as figurines, objects, floor markers, foam foot steps, or visualization to represent family members or parts of the issue.
With gentle guidance, we explore the invisible dynamics behind what you’re facing—often uncovering hidden loyalties, unspoken grief, or family patterns that are asking to be seen.
Some people find one-on-one sessions more intimate, especially when working on deeply personal or sensitive themes. We can get to a deep place in your soul.
Family Constellation work reveals hidden dynamics and unconscious loyalties in one’s family and ancestral line that shape your relationships, behaviors, and emotional patterns.Through this process, many people experience:
See Life Through NewLens. Gain clarity on what is in life. Release unconscious entanglement.
Heal Transgenerational Trauma. Release inherited patterns and emotional burdens that no longer serve you and your future generations
Transform Your Relationships

Find Inner Peace. Let go of inner conflict, self-sabotage, and outdated roles in life.
Awaken Your Gifts. Embrace the unique talents and inner resources that have always been yours.
