Family and Systemic Constellations Services

Welcome to a place where transformation begins—where the invisible threads that bind us to our families, our histories, and our wider communities are gently illuminated and brought into healing. Here, through Family and Systemic Constellations, you are invited to embark on a journey of healing, clarity, and connection.

What Are Family and Systemic Constellations?

Family and Systemic Constellations offer a unique, experiential approach to revealing the hidden dynamics within families, organizations, and other systems. Rooted in the pioneering work of German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger, this method aims to make visible the unconscious patterns, loyalties, and entanglements that shape our lives and relationships. By doing so, we are able to acknowledge what has been excluded, restore balance, and open a path toward greater freedom and fulfillment.

At its heart, a constellation is both a process and a space—a living map, brought to life within a group or individual setting. Participants are invited to set up representatives for members of a family or system, and through their spatial arrangement and movement, the underlying dynamics are revealed. This process often leads to profound insights, emotional release, and a sense of belonging and peace.

How Does a Constellation Session Work?

Navigated by trained family and systemic constellations facilitators, a safe, compassionate and non-judgmental environment is created for the work to unfold. The process typically works in the following way:

  • Intention Setting: The client brings a specific question, challenge, or area of concern—whether it is a relationship difficulty, a repeating life pattern, a health issue, or a longing for deeper connection.
  • Choosing Representatives: In a group, volunteers are invited to stand in as representatives for significant people, elements, or even abstract concepts in the client’s life. In one-on-one sessions, objects and/or floor markers will be used instead.
  • Mapping the System: The client intuitively places the representatives in relation to each other, creating a living picture of the system.
  • Observing Dynamics: As the facilitator and client observe the representatives’ sensations, emotions, and impulses, patterns of connection, exclusion, burden, or love come into view.
  • Interventions and Movements: With gentle guidance, the facilitator may introduce healing sentences, movements, or changes in position that bring the system into greater harmony. This often results in deep shifts, even when no words are spoken.
  • Integration: The session concludes with time for reflection, grounding, and discussing ways to integrate insights into daily life.

Why Choose Family and Systemic Constellations?

Many of our struggles—whether emotional, relational, or even physical—have roots that reach far beyond our individual lives. We may unknowingly carry the burdens, beliefs, losses, or traumas of previous generations. Systemic constellations offer a pathway to uncover, honor, and release these hidden influences, making space for new possibilities.

  • Healing Generational Patterns: Break free from cycles of pain, conflict, or limitation that have been passed down through your family lineage.
  • Restore Balance and Belonging: Experience a renewed sense of love, acceptance, and place within your family or system.
  • Transform Relationships: Shift dynamics with parents, partners, children, colleagues, or others by addressing the root causes rather than surface symptoms.
  • Personal Growth: Access greater clarity, peace, and direction as you align with your authentic self and purpose.
  • Holistic Well-being: Many report improved physical health, emotional resilience, and a deeper connection to life through this work.

Who Can Benefit?

Family and Systemic Constellations are beneficial for anyone seeking to understand and transform persistent challenges or patterns in their life. This work is helpful for:

  • Individuals facing relationship difficulties or family conflicts
  • Those seeking to heal from trauma, loss, or grief
  • People interested in personal growth and self-discovery
  • Professionals navigating workplace or organizational challenges
  • Therapists, coaches, and healers looking to expand their toolkit
  • Anyone curious about the deeper forces shaping their lives

The Philosophy Behind the Work

At its core, systemic work is based on the understanding that every member of a system—whether family, team, or community—has a rightful place and a need for belonging. When exclusion, injustice, or unresolved trauma occurs, the system attempts to restore balance, often at the expense of later generations. By bringing these dynamics into the light, constellations enable recognition, reconciliation, and a return to the natural order.

This work honors the dignity of all, respects the fate of each individual, and recognizes that love is the most powerful force for healing. Through simple yet profound movements, new possibilities emerge for individuals and their systems.

What to Expect

Every experience with constellations is unique, but many participants describe feeling lighter, clearer, and more at peace—even after a single session. Insights may continue to unfold in the days, weeks and months that follow, supporting ongoing transformation.

Sessions are confidential, non-judgmental, and inclusive of all backgrounds and beliefs. No prior experience is necessary; simply bring your openness, curiosity, and willingness to explore.
