Healing through Connecting Constellations™
Like trees in a forest, we grow in relationship. Our roots entwined with those who came before us, our branches reaching toward connection, community, and healing. Yet life’s storms, silences, and separations can leave us feeling untethered, as if the thread between root and canopy has thinned.
Healing through Connecting Constellations (HCC) is an invitation to return to the living canopy of relationship. Each session unfolds within a sacred, gently held space where ancestral roots are honored, and new branches of understanding may emerge. Family members need not be physically present; their presence is felt in the field, like mycelium beneath the soil, quietly guiding the way.
Whether you gather in circle or meet privately in person or through Zoom, HCC offers a meaningful pathway back to connection. A place to listen deeply, to fertilize what has frayed, and to remember that you belong to something vast, rooted, and alive.

What to Expect
In our workshops and private sessions, the journey begins with the issues you bring to the table. We start by delving into the facts, and discussing the core of the matter. Together, we determine the individuals or broader concepts that will be represented in the constellation, addressing a wide range of topics such as:
Exploring Your Family of Origin
Connecting with your Father's Lineage
Connecting with your Mother's Lineage
Creating Peace with Your Siblings
Connecting with your Inner Child
Addressing Physical, Mental Illness, & Dis-Ease for Healing
Cultivating Renewed Peace within Conflicts
Reconnecting with Countries of Origin
Exploring Religion & Spirituality
Strengthening or Letting Go of Significant Relationships
Reconnecting with your Soul and its purpose
The constellation unfolds as representatives are carefully placed -- there's no wrong way to do it. Emotions and feelings naturally surface, marking the commencement of the healing process. Throughout the session, resolution and healing sentences are spoken, and representatives are gently moved to explore new patterns, fostering relief and healing. It's an exploration into the depths of your concerns, intending to facilitate profound transformation and well-being.
These workshops and private sessions can help to:
Create more healthy and peaceful relationships with partners, family members, friends, & co-workers
Come to peace with divorce, separation, miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth, adoption, secrecy
Relieve the impact of death
Relieve the impact of violence, abuse, and other trauma
Better understanding of illness and disease
Better understanding of the challenges of immigration and migration
Better understanding of career and financial issues and more
Sharing this Work
In a journey marked by severe chronic pain and enduring six years of suicidal ideation, my client carried the weight of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, inflicted by members of her own family. For two years, I delved into her story, witnessing her concentration on present issues while feeling at a loss on how to bring about change.
One day, in a session filled with empathy, I introduced the concept of constellation work, believing it could offer a unique path to healing. To my relief, she agreed to give it a try. In her first constellation, she courageously addressed challenges within her family, including her husband and two sons. Confronting each family member, she expressed her feelings and, with newfound strength, declared, "I leave your responsibilities to you. I cannot take them on anymore."
With each uttered statement, a palpable sense of relief filled the room. Towards the end, she selected a second figurine for herself, allowing her to communicate with her survivor self—the force that had kept her alive through unimaginable trials. With gratitude, she whispered, "Thank you for helping me survive for so long." Then, a poignant pause, followed by a powerful declaration: "But I want to learn to live, not just to survive. I want to get to know who I am."
This sharing embodies the transformative power of Healing through Connecting™ Constellations for individuals. Beyond personal healing, a ripple effect permeates the family system, a phenomenon witnessed in numerous other stories. It's a modality that can change lives and deserves to be shared with the world.
My deep hope is for people to realize they are not alone in navigating challenges within their families, themselves, or any relationship or system. There is a promise that things can get better, and I want individuals to know that compassionate and non-judgmental support awaits them in a sacred and safe space.
What People Are Experiencing…
“You know, it’s easy to think that sort of the foundation of what’s true in healing is purely psychological, and it isn’t … it just goes deeper than what we think of the psychological healing. It’s really soul healing, the way that I experience it. It’s developing more and more and more integrity, become more and more integrated. It’s [FC] just given me that much more compassion for why people are the way they are and why they do what they do. And I feel less blaming or less, just less judgmental.”

"I have gained an incredible amount of insight and sense of belonging by participating in constellations. In being present and witnessing, the collective energy provides a sacredness rarely felt in the world today. The power of connecting through eye contact, intentional movement and an open heart while representing for others has been the most powerful component of re-teaching my soul self-trust in my decade long journey of healing."

“It’s a way of looking within yourself and within all the family members throughout the generations, their fate, their destinies… And that lets you make better decisions for the future, including emotions.”

I have both witnessed and participated in Michaelene's constellation work, which I find very powerful and deeply spiritual. I recently suggested that one of my own clients visit Michaelene for a constellation session. The client reported very positive changes after her work with Michaelene. There was a deep and grounding shift toward inner peace, which was present for her even during stressful family gatherings around the holidays.

"I began hearing about the Family Constellation Approach to therapy from co-workers, and wanted to get a basic idea of what it entailed when I signed up for one of the workshops. I initially thought it would be a basic training introduction and was surprised when I realized I would be an active participant along with the other members of the group. Although I consider myself a new age person and someone who is open to non traditional aspects of therapy I was a bit skeptical when I walked in and there was a strong scent of incense and a circle prepared with chairs, all with a box of tissue neatly arranged next to each chair. I had planned on taking lots of notes and listening to theory, not crying. The experience left me speechless and amazed at how powerful and honest our senses really are. The facilitators really created a safe place and were patient in allowing each participant to work at the level they felt comfortable. I left the workshop physically drained but restored with a sense of great insight into my personal relationships. I would strongly recommend these workshops and plan on attending more myself."

Womb Healing with Support & Love
"I found out about Constellations at a time in my life when I was working on womb healing to prepare to conceive my first child. I heard about it on a podcast and then looked up who did it in my area and found Michaelene and Carrie. From the moment I walked into their space I felt supported and loved. With their help I worked over the next three years not only on womb healing and releasing past trauma but on bringing in my first child to this world, preparing and healing from birth, walking through a miscarriage, and calling in my second child. In addition to my own work I have seen countless people who have participated experience huge energetic shifts on issues that they had been working on for years and were not able to change with other modalities. As a therapist myself I quickly felt called to learn this modality as it is so effective and meaningful to myself and others and leads to individual and collective transformation. I am so grateful to Michaelene and Carrie for the work that they are doing and what it has meant to my life and the change it is making in the world!"
