Last week, I had the joy of connecting with the generous and gracious team at , who invited me to speak about the internal world of the child from a play therapy perspective.

Even more special was meeting co-owners Lydia and Joann—two incredible women who, like me, share Assyrian heritage. It’s rare for me to cross paths with others from my cultural background in this field, and it made the experience all the more meaningful.

Children often carry what their parents haven’t healed. Unresolved pain doesn’t disappear — it moves through the family, quietly passed down, until someone is ready to face it.

In our upcoming online Family Constellation session, we’ll explore how children’s behaviours — anxiety, anger, withdrawal, or overwhelm — may reflect hidden stress or emotional patterns from parents, grandparents, or others in the family system.

Together, we’ll uncover the deeper story behind children’s symptoms and how making these invisible loyalties visible can bring relief, clarity, and healing.

This session is for:
👨‍👩‍👧 Parents wanting to better understand and support their child
🧠 Professionals working with children and families
❤️ Anyone curious about the emotional patterns passed through generations
The Child as Messenger: A Family Constellation Workshop
💻 Join us from the comfort of home and see what your child’s behaviour might be trying to show you.
⏰ Saturday 26 July | 9:00am AEST | Tickets available via link in bio (or send us a DM)

Healing isn’t about erasing the past — it’s about finding a way to live with it, without it controlling you. EMDR can help you do just that: gently and effectively.

If you’re curious about how EMDR could support you in becoming the parent, partner, or person you want to be, you’re warmly invited to book a free discovery call with Ash over on our website.

What a sacred weekend in Torquay.

Over 30 beautiful souls gathered across Saturday and Sunday to experience the powerful field of Family Constellations. Many were new to this work, some were simply curious, and others came ready to go deep—to learn, to feel, to integrate, and to seek answers to the questions that live in the heart.

We had people in their 20s through to their 60s—all generations coming together to remember, to reconnect with their lineage, to release their emotions and their tears and laughter, and to honour the family soul.

This work is transformational.
It is tender.
It is ancient.
It is raw and real.
And it is sacred.

With so much gratitude, I want to thank for making this weekend possible and for gathering such a warm, open-hearted community. Your light creates space for deep collective healing.

To Devi —what a gift to be walking this path with you. Thank you to Mili Sarmiento Shoemaker for weaving our worlds together. I am deeply grateful for what we are co-creating here. You have my heartfelt respect.

The field lives on in all of us. 🙏🏻 ❤️.

When a child’s behaviour feels overwhelming or confusing, it’s natural to want to fix that behaviour. But sometimes, focusing only on the child means we miss what’s really happening beneath the surface.

Behaviour is often a language — a response to the emotional tone running through the family system.

✨ So, what’s the unspoken tone in your home lately?

Is there tension, silence, unspoken worries, or rushed schedules?
Are emotions being acknowledged, or pushed aside?

Children pick up on these currents, even when they’re not talked about. Their behaviour can be a way of expressing feelings that don’t yet have words.

💬 When we slow down to listen to the whole family’s emotional climate, healing and connection become possible — for every member.

🧡 What’s one small way you could invite more emotional honesty and safety into your home this week?

Sometimes the challenges we face in our families aren’t just about what’s happening today — they come from stories and wounds carried quietly across generations. This is called intergenerational trauma.

It might show up as tension you can’t quite explain, patterns of hurt or distance repeating again and again, or kids struggling with emotions that feel bigger than their age.

These invisible threads connect us all — parents, children, partners, and loved ones — whether or not you have children of your own.

✨ Family Constellations offers a gentle, powerful way to uncover and understand these hidden family stories. In a supportive group, you can see the bigger picture of what’s been shaping your relationships and begin to gently release what no longer serves you.

When we tend to these deep roots, healing ripples through the whole family — helping us create more safety, love, and connection for ourselves and those we care about.

💬 Are you ready to explore your family’s story and open the door to new possibilities for healing and belonging? Join us this July + August for a Family Constellations Workshop. Information on our website (or DM us) 💫

✨How are your learned patterns affecting your family? ✨

We support families in recognising the invisible patterns that show up in parenting — often shaped by our own childhood experiences. When parents feel safe, resourced, and understood, they’re better able to show up with calm, clarity, and connection for their children.

Helping parents develop new strategies that meet everyone’s needs is at the heart of our work — because healing the family system begins with understanding how it's been shaped.

For example, some parents have learned — often early in life — that it’s safest to pull away when they feel angry. To be alone. To calm down. To process privately. This strategy may have helped them survive in environments where emotions weren’t welcome.

But in parenting, those same strategies can have unexpected impacts.

A child may experience that withdrawal as abandonment — especially when they themselves are dysregulated and needing connection.

✨ In these moments, new strategies can support both the parent and the child:

– The parent names what’s happening: “I’m feeling big feelings too.”
– They explain: “I’m going to take a moment to calm my body, and I’ll be right back.”
– And most importantly, they follow through — returning with presence and care.

🧠 New patterns are built in the space between what we’ve always done and what our children need to feel safe.

💬 What’s one small change that could support both your nervous system and your child’s need for connection?

Devi and I are so honoured to be presenting at this international conference, alongside some deeply respected facilitators and teachers in the field.

We’ll be sharing from the heart of our work at The Family Systems Hub—Enhancing Parent-Child Relationships Through a Systemic Lens.

Our presentation will offer a profound exploration of Trauma from a Systemic and Compassionate Perspective—looking at how the unspoken wounds of past generations can quietly shape how we show up in our families today. We will reflect on how viewing our family history through a compassionate lens allows us to unlock deep-seated patterns and foster emotional healing.

Using the family systems framework and the integration work we practise daily, we’ll explore how inherited burdens can be released, and how restoring balance in the system allows for deeper connection, greater presence, and healing across generations.

We’re grateful to be in this space, and even more grateful to do this work.
