The Power of Presence & Nervous System Regulation to Navigate Trauma

Sometimes your heart slips into hiding, and you can disconnect from the empowerment and well-being that comes from living “heartfully.” What happened to this radiance and wholeness you were born with? The heart often holds memories of ruptures and emotional wounds that go back several generations. This interrupts our reaching-out movement, our capacity for true intimacy and heartful relationships.

With Relational Constellations, we uncover the disruptions and entanglements so that we can find strength, dignity, love, creativity, and a sense of belonging. Constellations are a reconciling and a peace-making activity for your life and your relationships. We access a part of the soul that provides us with insight and can activate a profound inner transformation. In the moment when the soul is touched and love can flow more freely, deeply satisfying relationships can occur in your life. Constellations allow for the exploration of personal issues related to illness, split-off parts of the self, growth, expansion, and creativity; profound healing of heart, body, and soul are often the result.

Come reclaim your lost living heart and reconnect to a more authentic part of your soul and to your deepest heart’s desires!
