What is Family Constellations?

Family Constellations is a therapeutic method developed by Bert Hellinger, a German psychotherapist, in the 1990s. Drawing from his background in psychoanalysis, group dynamics, and systemic therapy, Hellinger incorporated insights from his time working as a missionary in South Africa, where he observed the Zulu people's deep connection to family and ancestors.

​

The method is rooted in the idea that unresolved issues or traumas in a family system can be unconsciously passed down through generations, shaping relationships and personal struggles. By making these hidden dynamics visible, Family Constellations helps individuals release emotional burdens, heal intergenerational wounds, and restore balance within the system

I host family constellation sessions in both group context, where everybody in the group might participate or observe, and everyone benefits, even if they aren't receiving a constellation themselves
