Imagine life as a big jigsaw puzzle. Each family is a puzzle, and every person is a piece.

What Are Family Constellations?Imagine life as a big jigsaw puzzle. Each family is a puzzle, and every person is a piece. Sometimes, a piece may feel like it doesn’t fit, this could show up as struggles with relationships, emotions, or health. Systemic and Family Constellations is a gentle, experiential way to see hidden patterns—unspoken loyalties, unresolved grief, or inherited burdens and restore balance within family systems.Developed by Bert Hellinger (1925–2019), this method explores how families, like rivers, have a natural flow. When that flow is disturbed, difficulties arise. By restoring order and belonging, peace and healing often return—not only for the individual, but for the whole family system.
