What is a Family Constellation Workshop?

Family Constellation, Published

Since the beginning of our family constellation VIRTUAL journey, we’ve conducted numerous family constellation workshops, catering to groups eager to explore their family entanglements. In this blog post, however, we aim to pause and reflect, redirecting our focus to the fundamental question: ‘What truly defines a family constellation workshop?’

While some of you may already be well-versed regarding what a family constellation workshop is (in-person and virtually), some are completely unaware of the benefits they can reap from participating in a family constellation workshop. This post aims to help those unfamiliar with family constellation workshops by explaining their main ideas and importance, making it easier for those thinking about joining.

Understanding Family Constellation Workshops

In our family constellation workshops, individuals gather and explore their family dynamics under the guidance of the facilitator, but the real power player is the morphogenetic field. The facilitator helps everyone connect to this field, and it acts like a spotlight on intergenerational trauma. Whatever dynamic needs attention will come up and be released. So, think of the facilitator as more of a helper, who makes sure everyone stays connected with the field and applies the Orders of Love as developed by Bert Hellinger.

Participants Roles

By going with the morphogenetic field, each step will be revealed one at a time to achieve healing. As such, at any different point of the workshop, you will be engaged in the constellation either as a constellator, a representative, or an observer.

The Constellator

In the workshop, the morphogenetic field chooses who is going to have a constellation through the facilitator. When this occurs, the morphogenetic field will help your family members, whether from the present or past up to seven generations, to reveal any unbalances that cause suffering. These unresolved matters may be contributing to inexplicable challenges in your current life. Our workshops have successfully addressed multiple issues, including but not limited to illnesses and diseases, spousal relationships, infertility, sibling dynamics, body odors, insomnia, nightmares, and various others.

The Representative

At the beginning of the workshop, the facilitator asks the constellator (client) to choose representatives for certain family members. They will naturally connect to the morphogenetic field of the constellator family system and take over emotions, gestures, and movements from the represented family member. Importantly, representatives are not provided with scripts or predetermined dialogue. Instead, the morphogenetic field guides the session, allowing representatives to authentically experience and convey the emotions and concerns of each family member involved in the family constellation.

The Observer

When one is not engaged in constellating or representing, their role is to observe. Observers must ensure that they stay connected and focused during the workshop, as they play a crucial role in holding the connection with the morphogenetic field with the other participants, contributing to its strength. If the focus is lost, the strength of the morphogenetic field begins to diminish. Remaining focused during the session is not only beneficial to the workshop but also to the observers themselves. By resonating with the family dynamics of others, observers can undergo their own healing, especially if they experience similar dynamics.

Benefits of the workshop

Whether you’re a constellator, representative, or observer, at any point in the workshop, you’ll sense the healing process unfolding. You’ll navigate emotional release and discover previously unnoticed connections within your family system. Similar to peeling layers of an onion, the family constellation workshop gradually relieves us of all sorts of encumbrances. True happiness arises when we shed those layers completely. Although the workshop’s effects typically manifest up to six months afterward, you’ll already feel calmer, recognising that you’ve taken a step toward soul healing.

Now that you have a basic idea of what happens in a family constellation workshop, are you intrigued? If your answer is yes, go to: familyconstellationvirtual.com/workshops/ to join our virtual workshop. We’re excited to have you explore and discover more about yourself and your family dynamics with us.

Your presence could be the starting point for deep insights and positive shift!

Have a great day ahead.

How does Family Constellation work online?

Family Constellation, Published, Wellbeing & Lifestyle


People who have attended Family Constellation workshops might wonder if a Family Constellation is as effective online as in person. Today, we’ll explore how Family Constellation generally works and evaluate its potency online.

The short answer is yes, Family Constellation works fantastic online and offers unique advantages over in-person sessions. Let’s delve into the reasons behind this conclusion in this blog post.

First, we go back to the roots of Family Constellation: In the 1980s, Bert Hellinger, a psychotherapist and former Catholic priest in Germany, began experimenting with supervision groups of therapists. They gathered in workshops to discuss challenging client cases. During these gatherings, participating therapists sat in a circle. Hellinger guided them to understand their client’s issues by placing representatives inside the circle to visualise the family dynamics related to the cases.

As the representatives stood in for family members, they began to sense emotions and felt compelled to move and speak, addressing specific individuals within the circle. This process often led to a sense of relief for the client being represented. Therapists reported after the workshop improvements in their clients’ issues. From these experiences, Hellinger developed Family Constellations and his groundbreaking ‘Orders of Love.’

Over time, Hellinger extended these in-person events to a broader audience beyond therapists. He facilitated Family Constellations for all participants, using representatives to uncover Family System dynamics to help them find relief from any issue they have suffered.

In the past 40 years, this approach has spread globally, with trained facilitators offering Family Constellation workshops for various issues, including depression, financial problems, infertility, relationship conflicts, and health concerns. Health practitioners, systemic coaches, and therapists have also integrated Family Constellation into their individual client work. In these one-on-one sessions, objects are used to represent family members, and remarkably, this method produces similar results to using human representatives. The objects appear to ‘communicate’ by expressing emotions, gestures, and movements necessary to restore the Flow of Love within the Family System.

Then, in 2020, the world changed dramatically due to the pandemic. People found themselves isolated at home, unable to attend in-person events, but still – and more than ever – in need of support. During this time, Family Constellation VIRTUAL was born to offer worldwide the soul-healing modality of Family Constellation without the necessity to leave the house.

We started by gathering a group of clients and friends, all locked up at home in different places, countries and time zones and scheduling a Zoom meeting to see if Family Constellations would work online. To our surprise, it was so powerful and created such amazing results that I started to look deeper into the difference between in-person and online Family Constellations. I compared the in-person and the online Family Constellations and found many reasons why Family Constellation works even better online. Here are just 7 of those reasons that make a strong case for virtual workshops and online sessions:

  1. The participants are less self-conscious when staying in the comfort and security of their own homes and don’t need to get physically close to strangers.
  2. They save money by not spending it on travelling and accommodation to a location where a family constellation workshop or one-on-one service is offered.
  3. Individuals who live remotely, are physically immobile or have to attend to children or animals can now also benefit from Family Constellations, which they couldn’t before as they couldn’t travel to an in-person event.
  4. The facilitator can offer a more frequent schedule for the events without taking time off from their daily routine to organise, travel and facilitate full-day workshops away from home, making it more flexible to participate in any of these events at a convenient time.
  5. At virtual Family Constellation workshops, people from different countries, cultures and belief systems participate, sharing their unique family history, customs or religions, and the representatives can resonate with and experience them for the first time – a highly valued opportunity to broaden the perspective and foster compassion for different cultures.
  6. The Morphogenetic Field (the informing field) can be accessed anytime from anywhere; therefore, the participants can easily access it from home, sitting at their computer or device: it makes no difference where in the world they are.
  7. By using a headset or speaking into the computer’s mic, the participants can hear what’s being said clearly, eliminating a common problem in in-person workshops, where participants intend to whisper rather than speak up, making it hard for others to understand what’s happening.

On the other hand, a few downsides have been reported when meeting virtually for a Family Constellation. I have heard on occasion comments like:

  • I prefer to meet in person because I come for the hugs.
  • I’m not too fond of technology and don’t have a computer or device.

The use of virtual techniques to span distances and times has also enabled a more accessible training program for many. While before, facilitator training was in one place, taking up weeks of travel, commitment, and a considerable investment to attend, online courses now allow broader access for coaches and facilitators to learn about Family Constellations. The success of the family constellation VIRTUAL training courses speaks for themselves.

In conclusion, online Family Constellation has far more positive resonance than negative remarks. But we haven’t even scratched the surface of discovering this work’s potential in the virtual realm. Since the use of online sessions was accelerated, and practitioners have successfully delivered Family Constellation through digital platforms, we have just started to unfold its ability to reveal hidden family dynamics and allow intergenerational healing on a deep soul level.

Time will reveal all its potency as life will never be the same as it was before the pandemic, and allow us to discover new ways to live life joyfully and interact with each other with compassion by including the digital means at hand to overcome distance in both, the world and the hearts.

I look forward to the opportunities new technologies entail with the intent to use them to make the magic of Family Constellation available to more and more people worldwide in need of healing old family wounds.

Have a light and bright day!

Insomnia and Nightmares

Family Constellation, Mind & Soul, Published, Wellbeing & Lifestyle

The inability to fall asleep at night can have many causes. We first think of stress, coming from problems at work, in the family, with money or a health issue, as the reason for the struggle to get that essential rest.

A whole industry has formed around those trying to help people to get their desperately needed sleep at night, to be able to restore the body and mind and have energy for the day ahead. Being sleep-deprived is exhausting and weakens the body, attracting illness and diseases, and it also messes with the mind, causing disorientation and depression.

Medical institutions try to find the perfect sleeping pill for this mostly adults bothering problem: Take one and all your problems are gone, you will sleep for sure, never mind that you might get addicted to the substance and will need it for the rest of your life. And not to talk about the ‘side effects’ and the damage it can cause the liver working hard every day to detox the chemical compounds.

Some health insurance companies are paying for cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT-I) to help their customers relax the mind which will help to fall asleep. This might work to a certain extent, but seldom cures the underlying problem, the real cause that is keeping one awake at night, neither does the sedative.

Nightmares on the other hand occur while fast asleep: suddenly an innocent dream takes a turn and you find yourself in the middle of a scene from a horror movie! This appears to be so realistic in the mind that the body reacts with defence mechanisms like sweating from fear, screaming for help, trying to run away by moving the legs and ultimately waking up in horror and not be able to fall asleep again, afraid to end up back in the same scene. While adult nightmares can occasionally occur in 2 to 8% of the population (source: WebMD) they are far more common in children. I’ve been told when I was young that in our dreams we are recapturing what has happened during the day to store the memories organised like a desktop into drawers and folders. But what could have possibly happened in my young and innocent age that would cause nightmares due to this explanation? What did your parents tell you when you were asking all the ‘W’ questions as a child: Why do we sleep, why do we dream, where are the dreams come from, why do they make me being afraid,…? Did the answers ever seem to be correct in retrospect?

The Truth is, we don’t know the reasons for Nightmares! Often quoted are medical studies that show nightmares are a sign of PTSD (Post traumatic stress disorder) when one researches the internet for articles about the cause of nightmares. And that might well be the case. But does the nightmare help to cure a trauma that caused the PTSD in the first place? Certainly not. The underlying trauma still needs to be addressed and healed, then the nightmares might or might not disappear.

A study from 2015 done at Harvard Medical School suggests to use image rehearsal therapy to ‘re-write’ the ending of the nightmare and rehearse it before going to bed: the hope here is that the mind can be tricked into believing the new happy ending instead of the horror ending and writes the scene accordingly at night, therefore creating ‘positive’ dreams and not nightmares. Even if that works, we still don’t know what has caused the nightmare in the first place. Was it maybe a cry for help that remained unnoticed? Did we (as we intend to) put the cart in front of the horse again, treating a symptom as the cause?

What if insomnia is not related to what happened that day, week or year? Not even what has happened in one’s lifetime? Is it possible that the cause for sleeplessness lies deeply hidden in the family system one is part of and can go back many generations, unknown to us? And what if nightmares are actually a message we should listen to?

In my practice I have repeatedly worked with clients that have experienced insomnia or nightmares, either they are suffering, or more often are worried about their children who cannot sleep or are plagued with regular nightmares or night terrors. The application of family constellations in the method of Bert Hellinger show quite remarkable results for finding and releasing the true cause of these nightly demons :

A mother was worried about her 7 year old son. He was having continuous nightmares. When she constellated this issue on his behalf, it showed an entanglement he had with a murder victim of their family system generations ago. This victim wasn’t acknowledged because the family was ashamed of the member who took the life of that person and therefore looked away. Her son was taken into service to make this victim seen and to give them their rightful place in the family system. The family system has immediately released her son from his duty to bring light and healing to the souls. Within a few days his nightmares ceased never to return.

A business man ask for help with his insomnia: he was chronically sleep deprived and started to feel that in his job: he couldn’t focus on the tasks ahead anymore, was loosing customers and got very worried about his health and to be able to financially support his family. The first thought of course would be that his worries are causing him to stay awake at night. But no, the insomnia came first and then the stress followed, correlation is not be mixed up with causation! On questioning, he revealed that his older brother has left the family to pursue a career as a dancer, leaving the elderly parents and their wholesale business behind. Although he had aspirations to become an engineer he jumped in, dropped out of college and took over the management of the family business. When the last parent passed away his sleeping problems started. In the family constellation we conducted it showed that the 2nd Order of Love, the Order of Precedence, has been violated: the older brother was responsible to take over the business, and he as the younger brother should have been free to fulfill his dreams. The action of walking away without taking care of the situation by the older brother has created a wound in the family soul that the client is now suffering under. The resolution was here, that the older brother turns towards the younger brother and acknowledges his position as the first born and the sacrifice of his younger brother to be able to leave the family business and to follow his passion. By letting the representative of the older brother in the family constellation face him and say ‘thank you for taking over the family business for me, so I could dance’, balance has been restored in the family system and the client felt a huge weight came off his shoulders. He reported back that he had the best sleep on that night following the family constellation, and insomnia was a problem of the past.

What ever happens in the night, we are supposed to look at it and take it as a gift: a message from the ancestors to the current generation to acknowledge what is. That doesn’t mean that we have to memorize the dreams or the thoughts we think of when lying awake in bed at night. They speak in a language most of us cannot comprehend. But family constellation is a perfect tool to translate this language into one we do understand and allows us to take the right actions to restore balance in the family system. That not only brings more freedom and happiness into our life, but also to the lives of our loved ones, even if they haven’t been born yet…

I wish You All for tonight a good sleep and sweet dreams!

Organisation Constellation

Family Constellation, Published

What would it be like if we could look behind the facade of our workplaces and discover the soul movements of the workmates, the boss and customers and unveil why we’re part of this organisation on a deep soul level?

We actually can! The soul healing modality of family constellation in the method of Bert Hellinger can also be used to look at organisations. The dynamics which we can see in family systems through accessing the information from the morphogenetic field of the family which has stored any kind of traumatic experiences throughout the generations can also be used to look at dynamics in organisations to find that what is the healing movement to solve an issue and bring back balance to the workplace, the sports club, the charity or whatever organisation we are looking at. 

Where ever you go, you take yourself with you.

I have worked with clients from large organisations to being self employed, from politicians to jail directors and employees, each of them were struggling either with their role in the organisation, wanted clarity about a certain project or thought about re-structuring the whole or parts of their organisation. Some have been very unhappy in their workplace but felt stuck and not able to change, others wanted their organisation to be more efficient or to find out what is causing an imbalance and who is not in their right place in the organisation.

So how can we apply Bert Hellinger’s family constellation and the ‘Orders of Love’ to an organisation? ‘Where every you go, you take yourself with you’ goes the saying. Words of wisdom handed down to us from ancient buddhist teachings. And now we can add : Where ever you go, you take yourself AND YOUR FAMILY SYSTEM with you! That is exactly why we can use family constellation to find out the imbalance in an organisation: because it is just a mirror of the own family system.

We are creating the world we are living in exactly in the way we’re entangled in our family system, until we find the way to look at the dynamics that are hidden in plain sight and heal the family wound. Like unravelling a ball of yarn the cat has played with, we only need to find 1 of the 2 ends of the yarn and start pulling and threading, following the loose end in its tracks, until the whole mess has been put back into order and the yarn is nicely rolled up to a ball again, ready to be knitted into a beautiful garment. One end is here in this picture the family constellation, the other end is the organisation constellation. The point is: it doesn’t matter which end you start to pull on, it will inevitably lead to untie the knots all the way to the other end. You can tackle an issue with a family constellation OR an organisation constellation, the result will be the same: more happiness and freedom for yourself and your family.

For example, often when I constellate an organisation I observe that the customers or the founder are overlooked by the client, either they are not  represented on the board and only the departments, the colleagues and the boss are chosen, or they are placed looking away from the organisation, the customers or the product. Or the founder of the organisation is not mentioned neither represented and therefore cannot be honours as the one who came first which leads to an imbalance due to a breach of the first order of Love as taught  by Bert Hellinger. The family system of the client will show the same imbalance: the customers could have be representing an unacknowledged family member, the founder a dismissed ancestor, the boss the father etc.

In episode 4 of the family constellation ViRTUAL podcast I’m reporting about a case from my practice where I demonstrate how to facilitate an organisation constellation and how closely this is tied in with the family system. Here we see how the organisation the client is working for is tight up with his mother.

Another Self

Family Constellation, Mind & Soul, Published, Wellbeing & Lifestyle

Family Constellations are well known amongst those searching for meaning in life and those who are on the path to find ones true self as a most effective tool to uncover the root-cause of all kinds of suffering: a disease, a repeated negative pattern, emotions of hate, resentments, anger and fear, with the ultimate goal to gain more freedom and happiness for oneself and for the loved ones.

But this groundbreaking healing modality has not yet made it to the awareness of the majority of people, simply because it’s not taught in school, not talked about on mainstream media nor integrated as a standard practice into government aproved coaching sessions.

Now that is about to change!

A new popular Netflix series called ‘Another Self’ is drawing the attention of many million people to the work of Bert Hellinger, without even mentioning his name nor using the terminology we inherited from him. It is the same work, here called ‘root work’ or ‘expanding the origin family’, translated from Turkish language into English and German. With this ‘expansion’ or ‘root work’ the inventor of the series Another Self describes how traumas can be revealed from the ancestors and healed by bringing together what has been separated and who has been left out of the family system up to 7 generations back.

The plot is about 3 friends in their thirties with their problems and sufferings: one has cancer, the other woman has relationship problems, and the third faces the end of her career as a surgeon due to a tremor in the hands. The three friends go to a seaside town in Turkey led by the woman with cancer in search for her last chance to get well and overcome the deadly illness. There she takes part in a group session where she learns to work through unresolved trauma connected to her families past and reveal the spiritual cause of her suffering with ‘expansion of the origin family’ aka Family Constellation. To cut a long story short (and to not give the end of the story away for those who haven’t watched it yet), against the resistance of one of the friends they continue to do the ‘root work’ and participate in the family constellation workshops facilitated quite closely to the original teachings of Bert Hellinger. As a result, they all face dramatic changes in their lives, even for the one who didn’t belief in the work. Mother related issues are uprising in the wake of this work as they always do when one embarks on this path of healing the family wound through family constellations, which is well dramaturgically illustrated in ‘Another Self’.

In 2021 has already aired a Netflix documentary featuring Family Constellations: ‘Sex, Love & Goop’. A real life family constellation facilitator demonstrates in episode 5 with a couple how a family constellation works by using the original terminology translated from German. Here they are using the word ‘field’ for the morphogenetic field, and ‘resonators’ for the representatives. But the work is the same: Family Constellations.

It is wonderful to see how after over 40 years the amazing healing method of Bert Hellinger gets the mainstream focus it deserves, either under the terminology ‘root work’, ‘expanding the origin family’, ‘systemic constellation’ or Family Constellation. It is all one and the same, works in the same way to reduce suffering for individuals and brings more love and light to the family systems and the world at large.

We are on the right track!

Adoptions in Family Constellations

Family Constellation, Mind & Soul, Published

For many partnerships it is heartbreaking to learn that they cannot have their own children. With a fertility rate getting lower each year due to lifestyle choices and environmental pollution in the western world but the deep desire to create a family there are more and more affected couples turning towards adoptions. And it seems as it this is not only the solution to their problem, but also a win-win-situation in general: to give an unwanted or parentless child a home seems to be the utmost altruistic motive to do something good too.

But how does an adoption effect the family system? In Bert Hellingers ‘First Order of Love’ we can see who belongs to a family system: these are all the children, parents, grandparents, siblings and partners (and some former partners) in 2-3 generations. The parents of the parents are included in one’s family system up to 7 generations back, plus some who are genetically not related, but have bonded through actions or destiny.

That makes minimum of 240 souls who belong to the same family system, often many many more.

These orders are derived from the phenomenological work of Bert Hellinger within over 40 years and in line with what we perceive when we work with family constellations: when someone is cast out who belongs to the family system, the first Order of Love is disobeyed, and this in turn causes suffering within the whole family over 7 generations.

In many countries, adoption terminates the birth parents rights and responsibilities towards the adopted person. In Japan, for instance, the Civil Code acknowledges that adoption ends existing relationships between the adopted child and their birth parents and blood relatives. And in countries, where the civil code doesn’t provide such a regulation (i.e. France) the parties of the adoption can and often do agree to the termination of all rights of the birth parents, which includes the right of citizenship, name and inheritance.

The question that arrises here is: what impact has it on a child and their family system, when it is giving away for adoption, and cut off from all their rights? And what are the consequences for the family system of this child? And finally, what impact does an adoption have on the Family System which the adopted child comes into?

According to Bert Helllingers ‘Orders of Love’ an adopted child is remaining a full member of the family system they are born into, regardless of the fact that the rights to belong to the birth family have been given up in the physical world by legal agreement or decree. The soul of the child still belongs to the family of origin and will remain there no matter what happens to the body. Therefore, the adoption especially right after giving birth and therefore being held a secret in may cases, leaves a gap in the order of the family systems, which will never be closed until the missing child is acknowledged. This missing child is made visible by the family soul in many ways, to be not forgotten: there will be suffering in the family throughout many generations, either in form of dis-eases, repeated negative pattern, accidents, depression all the way to inexplicable suicides. The family soul has a strong urge to be whole, and to make sure everyone has their rightful place in the system! Therefore suffering will be created until one of the descendants finds it unbearable and seeks help to look at the family entanglements and intergenerational traumas.

In a family constellation these children are made visible with the help of representatives who are resonating with the morphogenetic field of the family system. Through allowing this child a voice and the movement of the souls back to unity, healing is enabled, sometimes all the way to 7 generations back, and future generations are free of this burden as well.

What can one do to prevent this from happening? Bert Hellinger has the answer: if the child still has their own family who can look after it, fostering is preferred to adoption. If the child has no close family members left to look after it, adoption is possible when it is openly communicated to the child and the environment that it still belongs on a soul-level to another family system. And for the family, who has agreed to the adoption, it is crucial that they count the adopted child amongst their own children and give them a name and a space in their lineage.

The family system, in which the child is adopted into, does not belong to the family system of the child, only in rare circumstances will there be a cross-over. The family who is adopting a child has their own entanglements and emotional traumas in their system which let to the adoption. A family constellations in the method of Bert Hellinger brings to light the soul-cause of the wish to adopt a child and allows the souls to move towards healing in this family system.

Here is the adopted child the helper and enabler for this step forward towards healing the family wound of another family system and deserves gratitude and love from the family for the sacrifice of leaving the rightful place in their own family, not the adoption family for ‘rescuing’ a child, as society may perceive it.

To all the adopted children in the world: THANK YOU!

What are participants saying

  • It has been a wonderful opportunity to get to meet & work with Maia and the virtual family. She guided me to shed light on those circumstances that were consuming me, to remind me of my way home and to the realisation that I've been carrying the key to enter it all along. Thanks to my friend that recommended Maia’s family constellation. 💗
    Virna M.
  • I met Maia two years ago while I was going through a big transformation in my life. Thanks to this healing modality, I have been able to heal deep wounds in my family system and to connect and received the love from my direct family and all my ancestors. I have done both ways, present and virtual workshops with Maia, and found that both of them work perfectly and are equally powerful. For me it is great that we now have more flexibility to attend. I will be forever thankful to Maia for making me reconnect from love to my family, specially with my mum. Thank you Maia for holding this amazing healing space.
    Rocio G.
  • I want to thank you Maia from my heart for what you enabled for me during the family constellation workshop. I feel a huge weight has flown from my body to allow positive healing to begin after many years of negativity, the last two being hell on earth. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts and being here. Kia ora, my heart is very humble and for once is light again. Love and gratefulness to you.
    Tamara T.
  • I wanted to thank you for the beautiful group session we had the other day and the amazing opportunity to work on my own constellation. It came at the right time, felt really good and profound to release and I am open to see and experience what happens next..
    Christina Y.

  • My first Family Constellation workshop. I can tell Maia is a deeply tuned-in spiritual being, with her feet on the ground and great wisdom to compliment her considerable and lucid intelligence. Friends had recommended Family Constellations as a complimentary modality to the Hakomi psychotherapy I have graduated in, and it seems Maia is one of the most (if not the most) experienced and trained facilitator. It was an intense day! Quite different from anything else I've tried. Beautifully conducted, clearly explained, and conducted in an embodied, interactive way that catered to my individual concerns and outlook. I'll definitely be trying this again. Amazing group process - powerful but lighthearted, fun and comfortable.

    James K.

  • The morning after my first family constellation workshop with Maia I woke up with new eyes. Everything looked different, more vibrant and alive. I suddenly had no need to spend hours scrolling through social media and posting about stuff, it felt meaningless and like a waste of time. Instead I went in the garden and looked after my veggie patch. It was so peaceful. Thank you for this profound experience which opened my heart and my eyes to what is really important in live.

    Halie G.
  • I couldn't find a virtual Family Constellation Facilitator training anywhere. After googling and searching, I found this beautiful training with Maia. It was exactly what I was looking for. I love how Maia incorporate other healing modalities and made the connection between spirituality and family constellation. It is all connected! This training was Godsend and I am beyond grateful!
    Rev. NamShakti
  • Thank you so very much for yet again a profound experience and Healing day. It was very powerful and yet peaceful!
    I am very grateful for your teaching, providing a space to safely tackle generational trauma and your tranquil approach.
    Claudia D.
  • I have so much Love and Gratitude for Maia and her work in Family Constellations. After experiencing a few now, I am still so amazed! Very profound in how it works with healing on many levels. It has not only helped me in releasing personal childhood trauma, which is not easy at times, also trauma from my whakapapa and past generations. Thank you Maia!
    Tina S.
  • Thank you for hosting the recent constellation workshop, introducing me to this exciting field, and shepherding us through the process. It has deeply affected me, and already impacted my psychotherapy practice in some very beneficial ways. I look forward to attending future workshops and trainings with you.
    Mark C.
  • I am grateful for Maia's guidance in this continuous learning at the school of life, for I have applied what she taught to my own family system, improved all interrupted reaching out movement with my parents, siblings and deceased ancestors through her skilful experience. Thank you for your strength, gentleness, deep intuition and passion to share. I will honor your love by living the best version of myself.
    Meilinda S.

  • It is amazing how immediately and authentically we are able to see the heart of the issues that emerge within the family dynamic in family constellations facilitated by Maia. I've learnt a huge amount about myself each time I have been.

    Kate S.

  • At first I was concerned that online Family Constellation sessions would probably not work well, or at least be considerably less effective than sessions in person with Maia. But what I found was the online group energy was just as strong as before, and my personal experiences were just as insightful and just as healing for me as in previous sessions. In fact in some cases, I felt the energy was even stronger.

    I feel it is extremely important though when the sessions are online that the facilitator is especially experienced in guiding Family Constellations. We are blessed that Maia is such a facilitator. Thank you Maia. Love

    John J.
  • I had several family constellations with Maia about my struggels with studies, business, children issues and my own habits and fears. The way Maia is facilitating family constellations makes me feel comfortable, open, secure and nourished. The sessions with Maia have allowed me to finally embark on my way to true self-healing and to bring all issues I had to an end.
    Virna M.

  • I have been attending many family constellations and Maia is an extraordinary gift to New Zealand. It is such as honour collaborating and supporting her work. With many years of experience she is an amazing facilitator and very well educated by the master Bert Hellinger. I highly recommend this healing modality to everyone.

    Alejandra F.

  • Maia has a unique approach to Family Constellations - in accordance to the legacy left from Bert Hellinger her Constellations treat the essential - the roots of the imbalance.

    I have been in her Family Constellation workshops and latly her online workshops - her online group sessions have proven to be really fantastic. You can certainly receive the benefits of being part of a group dynamic and be constellated from your own home.

  • I’ve completed several online Family Constellations with Maia and, like in-person constellations, I’ve been blown away by their power. In fact, there seems to be something particularly strong in the connection when it’s done online. The healing is absolutely as profound as in person and Maia skilfully facilitates the process with awareness and compassion. I highly recommend it.

  • Having done both group and private Family Constellation sessions online I can say that they are both as effective as sessions in person. To my surprise I found that the group sessions worked even better online. Being alone in my own home was familiar and comfortable. Perhaps I was less self-conscious, or less distracted. Whatever the reason, we were all in agreement that the virtual format was more intense. Both as a character and as a watching participant it was less like a performance and more of a group conversation. More intimate, more of a collaboration in spirit.

    Maia has a flexible attitude of exploration that makes it easy to trust her instincts, and go for the journey, set up for enquiry, being confident that it will always be worth the trip. The resulting resolutions brought powerful and meaningful outcomes in every case.

  • I was suffering of armpit odour since my teenagehood. No matter what I did, it was always there. The same week I had a one-on-one session with Maia about this issue I wore a sleeveless dress again, the odour was completely gone!
