You're Invited:
An Introduction to Family & Systemic Constellations
In-Person Circle in NYC
Saturday, July 26th | 1–5 PM
I'm honored to invite you to my first in-person Family & Systemic Constellation Circle in New York City. This gathering will serve as an introduction to the therapeutic modality of Family & Systemic Constellations, offering you an opportunity to experience this work in a grounded, accessible, and heartfelt way.
I’ve been training in Family Constellations since 2020; I’ve integrated this work with dance, movement, and embodiment practices for over three years as a way to help people more deeply meet themselves and their relationships, and have held online experiential circles as part of my learning and deepening into this practice. This in-person circle will continue that thread—a space for us to explore together, with no prior experience needed.
This is for you if you're curious about:
How your challenges might be connected to something bigger than you
Releasing inherited patterns or entanglements
Finding greater ease, love, and energy in your body, life, and relationships
Belonging—within yourself, your family system, and the larger systems you're a part of
This will be a gentle but potent introduction.
We'll explore mini constellations, embodied exercises, and systemic principles, focused on deepening your relationship to yourself and an issue that may be alive for you. You’ll be held in a supportive group field where individual process contributes to collective insight.
This is the perfect experience for those who want to begin to experience the healing benefits of this practice, but aren’t ready for a larger commitment.
Bring an open mind, and know that everything we explore serves as only as an invitation, not an obligation.

What is Family & Systemic Constellations?
Constellations is a systems-based therapeutic approach that reveals the hidden dynamics shaping our lives, health, and relationships. Much of modern healing insists that “everything you need is within you”—that we are self-contained islands. Constellations shows us something different:
We are not isolated individuals—we are part of living systems.
We are born into systems (like family), and move through countless others—cultural, ancestral, organizational, social.
We are deeply influenced by what came before us, by the people and systems we’re connected to, and by the unresolved stories and loyalties we carry, often unconsciously.
Constellations work invites us into a larger perspective—one where healing, growth, and change are not solely internal, but deeply relational and systemic. It can illuminate where love or life energy has gotten stuck or interrupted, and support soul-level movements toward more sovereignty, connection, and vitality.
Through this work, we open space to:
Reveal the often-invisible entanglements we inherit from our family systems
See more clearly what’s been operating beneath the surface
Restore flow where love or energy has gotten stuck
Untangle from burdens that were never truly ours to carry
Move forward with more clarity, compassion, and choice
My Facilitator Stance:
I place an emphasis on the body (sensation, feeling, etc.)
I create a space for curiosity and the experience happening underneath the story
I aim to hold spaces where people feel heard, seen, and treated as an adult
I value going slow, taking breaks, and respecting the capacity of the group
