What is Family Constellations?
Family Constellations is a therapeutic approach that helps uncover and release inherited patterns, emotions, and behaviors that unconsciously shape your life. Out of love and loyalty, we may carry unresolved pain, trauma, or limiting beliefs from our family system—even when they no longer serve us.
Because families are energetically connected, experiences such as grief, loss, exclusion, or anger can ripple through generations, influencing how we think, feel, and behave today. Family Constellations offers a way to gently acknowledge and release these bonds, creating space for healing and new possibilities. This work can be experienced individually or in groups.
Who Can Benefit?
Family Constellations can provide insight and support for those navigating:
Relationship challenges (past or present)
Adoption or feelings of exclusion
Loss through miscarriage, abortion, or the early death of a child
Anger, addiction, or unresolved childhood trauma
Divorce, financial hardship, or bankruptcy
Mental health struggles such as anxiety or depression
Chronic physical conditions, including fatigue, pain syndromes, or illness
By bringing hidden dynamics to light, Family Constellations opens the door to greater clarity, freedom, and healing—for you and future generations.
What happens during a Family Constellation?
In group constellations, the facilitator will select a person from the group who wishes to work on something they would like to change or shift in their life.
After briefly discussing the issue with the facilitator the client (or sometimes the facilitator) will choose members of the group, unrelated and not personally connected to the ‘client’, to represent those involved in order to uncover the hidden dynamics behind the issue.
Representatives connect to what is known as the ‘knowing field’. In doing so they are able to experience sensations in their bodies, emotions and intuitive movements about members of the family system. When doing this it will bring light to the unseen or unknown. Once brought to light, together we are able to begin to restore the orders of love in the family system.
In group Family Constellations, everyone present receives insights and shifts, even those who choose to observe mindfully.
Why Family Constellations?
At times, families or members of family systems may exclude certain members of the family, by choice or through circumstance. For example; a child who died young or was aborted, lifestyle choices, perpetrators, adoptions, traumas, victims of a crime or suicide and others. Those exclusions affect the entire family, even after the family no longer has contact with them.
When ready, family constellations create an inner movement that shifts our perspective about a particular situation or circumstance that has been weighing heavy on our hearts or that we have been carrying around with us, unknowingly. When we shift our soul shifts and settles into a deeper state of comfort. Sometimes this happens right away and sometimes it settles over time.
