True Nature Constellations

What is Constellation Work?

Whether facilitated indoors or out in nature, constellation work is a powerful healing modality. Recent research in epigenetics has shown that the unconscious programming we have inherited dictates as much as 95% of our experience of life. Constellation work, whether facilitated one-on-one or in a group, is a powerful tool for healing and transforming the limitations of these unconscious patterns. Utilizing symbolic objects or people to represent the circumstances for which we seek healing, this work makes conscious the source of the entanglements within ourselves and in our relationships that have been inhibiting the natural flow of love.

As we open to that flow, as we heal and work through the inherited traumas from our lineages, it deepens our trust in ourselves, in each other, and in life itself. It frees us to know and embody our truest, most natural way of being, and to live in loving kindness toward ourselves, each other, everything that has come before us, and all that is. In this way we can truly know and live our interconnectedness, each a vital and important member of the earth community.

My work

My work with Constellations has its roots in a sincere prayer that began 35 years ago: What can I do that will really help people to heal? What will bring true and lasting impact? By far, constellation work has been the most powerful answer to this prayer.

I have witnessed constellation work in many varied surroundings help others to heal the traumas of their past, to release entanglements within their families, and to shed the unconscious belief patterns that have hindered their ability to know their own worth and to thrive.

Bio:

My roots are in the Kettle Moraine and Great Lakes region of Wisconsin. My fundamental and essential relationship with the Earth was formed upon that land and has sustained me through all the varying streams that have made up my life.

After achieving a Bachelors Degree in Nursing, I worked in Intensive Care and Coronary Care Units, was an in-home Hospice nurse, and ran an award-winning Wellness Program. I then went on to complete a Masters Degree in Applied Behavioral Science with an emphasis in Counseling. My personal and professional quest has included the study of Hakomi Body Centered Therapy, the Enneagram of Liberation, The Work of Byron Katie and Systemic Constellation Work.

My deep desire to facilitate the opening of our hearts to ourselves, to each other, and to our beloved planet Earth is woven throughout my perspective and has motivated my life choices and direction. I have a profound respect for our holistic nature and the importance of integrating all aspects of our being to achieve a high level of health, vitality, enjoyment and loving connection with All That Is.
I have been in private practice for nearly 20 years in Ashland, Oregon, working indoors and out with individuals, couples, families, and relationships of all kinds. I feel incredibly honored to do whatever I can to help bring people to a place within themselves in which they can live and love more fully, knowing their interconnectedness with all of life and living consciously from that knowing.
Taking my work into the wilds of nature is a fulfilling confluence of all my passions. I live in deep gratitude to All My Relations and Teachers of all forms.

Training in Constellation Work:

I consider being called to this work a huge blessing in my life. I have had the great fortune to be trained in Family Constellations, Community, Organizational & Nature Constellations, and Constellation as Ceremony with Francesca Mason Boring; in Hellinger Constellation Processes as part of the Wisdom Collaborative with Stephen Victor; and in one on one Constellation work with Jane Peterson PhD. I have had the great privilege of participating in an intensive with Bert Hellinger, to whom I honor with my deepest gratitude. I have engaged in workshops with Albrecht Mahr, Francesca Mason Boring, Stephen Hausner, Johannes Schmidt, Ursala Franke Bryson, Tom Bryson, Vivian Broughton, Mark Wolynn, Jane Peterson, Dyrian Benz-Chartran, JoAnna Chartrand-Benz, Michael Reddy and Dan Booth Cohen. I attended the 2011 US Systemic Constellation Conference entitled “Claiming our Roots ~ Embracing New Growth” in San Francisco, and I attended and presented at the 2013 US Systemic Constellations Conference “Courage at the Edge ~ Love in the Center” in Bellevue, Washington.
