Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns over and over?

Are you carrying pain that doesn't seem to belong to you?

Do you find yourself stuck- in love, health, money, career or your sense of self- no matter how much you work on it?

Family Constellations is a gentle, yet powerful way to uncover the unconscious dynamics that shape your life and finally create space for change. Together, we can explore where you may be carrying intergenerational trauma or be entangled with other's experiences, which is leading you to unconsciously make the same mistakes over and over. (Want to know more about the modality? Check out the pinned video on my profile!)

From Melbourne to Mullumbimby, I’ll be holding open, one-day workshops where you can explore your family and personal patterns, release what no longer serves you, and step more fully into the life you desire.

Through my own personal blend of constellation with somatic practices, ritual and circle work, you will be empowered to connect more deeply with yourself and others, leaving behind anything that is not yours to carry and reclaiming your potential.

Come curious, leave inspired and see how your relationships, decisions, and sense of self can shift when hidden loyalties are brought into light and released.

📅 Upcoming dates:
6 Sept – Melbourne
20 Sept – Airlie Beach
4 Oct – Sunshine Coast
8 Nov – Sydney
29 Nov – Mullumbimby

Many women today are carrying more than their share.

We live in a world shaped by systems that were not built by us- or for us. Add to that the ongoing weight of climate crisis, economic instability, injustice, and the everyday demands of life, and it’s no wonder so many of us feel depleted.

When everything feels overwhelming, the question becomes: where do we even begin?

The truth is, we cannot heal the world alone. But we can begin within our own systems- our bodies, our families, our lineages. Because the patterns we carry inside us are not separate from the patterns that play out collectively.

This workshop is an invitation to pause, turn inward, and tend to the emotional inheritances we carry. Through Family Constellations and Emotional Inheritance work, we’ll gently untangle what is truly ours to hold- and what never was.

This is deep, grounded work.
You’ll leave with clarity about the hidden loyalties shaping your life, strength in reclaiming what is yours to choose, and a renewed sense of possibility for the future.

And as we shift our own systems, that healing does not stop with us. It ripples outward- into our families, our communities, and the larger whole.

We, Dr Tammy Ben-Shaul and Antonia Kersting, are deeply passionate about offering this work to women at this moment in time. With decades of experience across psychology, psychotherapy, group facilitation, and systemic healing, our shared mission is to create spaces where women can release inherited patterns, reconnect with their sovereignty, and contribute to the wider healing our world so urgently needs.

If you’ve been feeling weighed down by both your own story and the wider crises of our time, we invite you to join us.

Date: September 6 | Time: 9:30AM-4:30PM
Location: Docklands, Melbourne

This isn’t just another self-development workshop.

This is a space to uncover and release the deeper patterns — the ones you didn’t start, but somehow find yourself stuck in.

Family & Systemic Constellations is a powerful, experiential modality that helps bring to light the unconscious dynamics inherited from your family system or lived through your life story. In this one-day Sydney workshop, you’ll have the chance to explore:

✨ Longstanding emotional or relationship struggles
✨ Chronic health symptoms or body-based blocks
✨ Feelings of stuckness, heaviness, or disconnection
✨ Money, career, and business-related blocks
✨ Grief, inner conflict, or big life decisions

Whether you participate in your own constellation or witness others, the healing happens in the field — and it's often described as “10 years of therapy in a day.”

Guided by me, you'll be supported through a carefully held process that blends constellation work with ritual, somatic practices, and trauma-informed care.

📍 Inner West Sydney (Haberfield Library)
🗓 Saturday 24 May, 9:30am–3:00pm
💸 $145 | Limited spots — booking essential

✨How much can change in 6 years…✨

You may not know this about me but I used to work as a veterinary nurse and own my own farm in North QLD.

In 2015 I bought a 6 acre property with my partner at the time and set to work. It had been neglected by the previous owner and we created pastures, stables and a veggie patch and revitalised the chicken coup and orchard.

I adopted a whole range of animals, from dogs to goats to chickens, ducks, geese and even horses. It was a full house and I loved it.

But in 2018 I embarked on a new journey, attending my Family Constellations Facilitator training in Maleny. It changed my life. It changed how I saw myself and my relationships. It changed who I wanted to be and where I wanted to go with my life.

And just like that, I found myself ending a 6.5 year relationship, rehoming my beautiful animals, selling the farm I had poured my love into and uprooting my life to relocate to the Sunshine Coast.

6 years ago to the day, I arrived on the sunny coast, to a new house and a new job. I only had my car, packed the the rafters with boxes and my favourite futon couch tied to the roof racks. The car was so full my dog actually had to sit on my lap the whole 12 hour drive (not that she minded haha).

At 23, it was one of the scariest things I have ever done in my life. I had next to no social support, no financial backing and to be honest not much to go on other than the little voice inside me telling me that this felt right. I desperately clung to it.

I am so glad I did.

So much has changed since then. My past self would barely recognise me now. The confidence, the self-love, the many beautiful connections in my life, the work I so dearly love. All things that I have created and grown since then.

And all because I refused to ignore that voice inside me. That feeling that told me it was time for something different, that there was more out there for me. That I deserved and craved more from life, more from myself.

I am forever grateful for the farm experience. I treasure the country, the land, the animals and the produce dearly in my heart and memories. But I am so glad I chose change.

It has given me the courage and the confidence to make scary moves many more times since then. Knowing that I have done it before and I can do it again.

It has given me the ability to sit with people at these potent crossroads in their own lives and support them to make their own leaps into a different version of themselves.

What a gift.

Here is to the next 6 years and whatever they might bring 🙌🏼

Early Bird Pricing ends September 6 💸

The event will be fully catered and taking place in the beautiful Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

His facilitation and teaching of family constellations offer a unique approach by combining deep healing processes, rituals and bringing lightness into the system through his trademark humour.
