Hard to imagine it has been 10 years since the life altering Delavan, WI weekend which began the birth of my woman within coming out. What a grand journey it has been!

My family had just moved back to the Midwest from an unsuccessful attempt to establish a new way of life in Washington State. I was heartbroken at giving up on a lifelong dream, and experiencing the truth of "you can't go home again". A wise teacher insisted I attend Woman Within.

The first of many personal growth workshops, that weekend did indeed change my life. My Women Within weekend was the first time I truly felt at home in the company of women; soul meeting soul and feeling the fine web of connection which allowed me to encounter my own pain and healing as I witnessed others do their work. I remember standing there and allowing their blessings wash over me, my initiation into receiving loving  support and acknowledging my truth.

That weekend gave me the courage to follow my heart towards further healing, opening and grace. I became a Reiki Master/Teacher and studied native American spiritual traditions. In the meantime, I earned my certification in Hypnosis, which led me to Emotional Freedom Technique and other energy psychology modalities. The most recent and profound stage of my journey was a synchronistic encounter with Systemic Family Constellation work 4 years ago.

Systemic Family Constellation work has given me a place to honor my ancestral lineage, to feel the love and support from those who came before me, and to discover and resolve any unfinished business within my line that continued to block my progress in certain areas. My two year intensive training to become a facilitator of this work opened my eyes to the beauty and sacredness of the family soul system, taught me to see with new eyes and to truly experience the love that heals.

Woman Within gave me the jump start to changing my relationship to myself and my place in life. My energy work helps to restore and bring grace into my mind, body and spirit. And Family Constellation work has allowed me to fill in the missing threads in the rich tapestry of my life. My passion for this work is boundless and I am so blessed and excited to share it with others through my Constellation workshops.

Are you ready to transform your life?

Systemic Family Constellations are an amazingly gentle, yet powerful, way to discover how you can move forward and be the person you long to be. By identifying, acknowledging, honoring and releasing the issues that may be keeping you stuck in a holding pattern, constellation work allows for a fresh start with a more complete, stronger you. Bringing the support of your ancestors together, constellations provide a strength and guidance you may never have thought possible. With it’s many affirmations of mindful gratitude, constellation work is sure to make a profound difference in your life.

Popular in Europe for over 20 years, Systemic Constellation Work is an innovative approach, quickly becoming well known and utilized in the United States. Based upon the Family Constellation work of Bert Hellinger, a renowned German psychotherapist, Systemic Constellation Work can reveal hidden dynamics from past generations of our family systems.

Referred to as ‘entanglements’, these dynamics have an unconscious, compelling power that can enmesh us in fates that do not belong to us. Sometimes dating back several generations, to family ancestors who were unable to resolve difficulties within their lives, these dynamics may reappear in our own lives. Through unconscious loyalties to our family systems, we soul bond with other family members, becoming ‘entangled’ in their fates and living out their difficulties ourselves.

Through Systemic Constellation Work, these ancestral influences are identified and acknowledged. The ‘blind love’ which has been influencing our lives can be transformed into ‘enlightened love’. Once this occurs, the associated emotional and physical suffering can be gently and compassionately transformed, bringing peace, renewing strength and allowing us to move forward in our lives with grace and dignity.

Constellation work has shown to be effective in healing both physical and emotional pain, including migranes, backaches, depression, anxiety and much more. Constellations are also beneficial in coping with major life events such as adoption, abuse, divorce, infertility and death. Working in both the past and the present, constellations offer a unique opportunity to improve your future. By revealing the bigger picture of any life situation, constellations help to establish a solid foundation for a new direction in life. While constellation work cannot “cure” anything, it can bring peace to a troubled soul and grateful acceptance to the condition of being human.
