I saw a flyer advertising the first visit to the UK of the founder, Bert Hellinger. From the first moment of that initial workshop I was gripped. This way of working resonated very strongly with my philosophy, my approach to spirituality and families. Although I know I benefited greatly from my therapy training and my own personal therapy, I had always felt there was something more, something I co
uld not resolve through personal therapy alone. The effects of the constellation work on my family have been that missing people have come out of the closet, secrets from past generations have emerged and fractured relationships have begun to be healed, but above all my relationship with my mother changed from one of deep entanglement to a blissful loving closeness which I revelled in for eighteen months before she died. I feel like I have ‘come home’ inside. This does not mean I no longer experience any pain or difficulty, nor that I have stopped moving forward in my personal work; it just has a different quality to it. I no longer feel entangled. I have returned to live in the region where I grew up so I have also ‘come home’ in that sense. Hence the title of my workshops. I have been running workshops for fifteen years and continue to do so on a regular basis. I am currently offering training in Romania, I offer an apprenticeship scheme and I am planning a new, 2 year training in the West Country in 2013. I also run Professional Mentoring Days for those wishing to further their practice in constellation work and I am available for individual consultations and supervision. I bring a depth of experience to my facilitation which reflects the amount of commitment I have had to my own continued study of the work and my personal development within that, spanning many approaches from a wide variety of leaders with different backgrounds and cultures. As Editor of The Knowing Field, the International English-language Constellations journal I am in touch with the latest developments and thinking. It is important to me to keep abreast of these developments and for that reason I also continue to attend an annual international 7-day Intensive in Germany, in addition to other workshops and conferences. I also receive regular supervision of my constellation work.
