My Family Constellations Journey: A Marathon of Discovery and Growth
My path to becoming a Family Constellations facilitator wasn’t a sprint; it was a marathon—a slow and winding journey that unfolded over nearly two decades. It took 20 years of growth, learning, and self-discovery before I was fully ready to embrace this powerful work. My introduction to Family Constellations came in the early 2000s during graduate school at Central Connecticut State University, where I was studying to become a Marriage and Family Therapist. I remember sitting in one of the campus auditoriums, watching a demonstration that completely shifted my understanding of therapeutic work. The facilitator had a small group of people, and instead of the usual lineup of participants, they even used objects—shoes, if I recall correctly—as representatives in the constellation. This unexpected use of symbols and representatives made the experience even more mystical and surreal.
I was captivated, completely in awe of what I was witnessing. It felt like peering into the invisible web that binds families together across generations. I couldn’t fully understand it at the time, but the experience planted a seed in my heart. This glimpse of Family Constellations left a profound impression on me, and yet, for years afterward, I didn’t pursue training or delve deeper into it. Looking back, I believe this was God/Universe/spirit’s way of giving me a glimpse of what would one day become my life’s work but holding off until I was ready.
Family Constellations was the missing piece in the tapestry of my healing work—a piece that my soul had been guiding me to all along.
It connects everything I’ve been preparing for, weaving together the skills, insights, and healing modalities that I’ve gathered over the last 12 years. This journey has prepared me to help people bridge connections to their ancestors, fostering a sense of wholeness and belonging that runs deep.
Today, as a certified Family Constellations facilitator, I’m eager to introduce others to this magical and profoundly healing tool. Family Constellations goes beyond traditional therapy, creating a sacred space where healing can happen in the presence of something greater than ourselves—a wisdom that transcends time and unites generations.
Starting in 2025, I’ll be offering Family Constellations Circles every other month, beginning on Saturday, February 22.
These gatherings will be an invitation to explore the unseen dynamics within your family system, honoring the legacies of our ancestors and creating paths toward healing, wholeness, and connection. I’m excited to share this journey with you and witness the transformative power of Family Constellations as it unfolds in your life.
I am also offering personalized, client-focused constellations online. These private sessions allow you to address any issue that feels heavy, unclear, or stagnant, creating space for clarity and transformation. In each session, I’ll bring in representatives to help build and reveal your constellation, providing insight into the deeper dynamics at play.
