Family Constellations
Family Constellations is for you if you want to integrate the blessings and the burdens of your ancestors, transform your inheritance, and cultivate a future in which you and your descendants thrive.
You are struggling with yourself, your family, friends, your job, money, business… life in general.
What if what you are experiencing has a story beyond your own?
One rooted in your ancestors.
Explore the family relationships, inherited beliefs, and survival strategies that may be shaping how you experience life today.
Through an embodied, ancestral, and systemic approach, Family Constellations invites you to look at recurring patterns with greater awareness, compassion, and a deeper understanding of your gente.
Do these patterns seem to repeat across the generations?
Carrying family expectations, roles, or responsibilities that are difficult to put down.
Repeating relationship dynamics or conflicts.
Struggling to feel seen, understood, accepted.
Embodying patterns around health, illness, and wellbeing
Navigating beliefs about money, success, work, and business.
Feeling conflicted about creating a life that looks different from the lives of those who came before you.
Family Constellations can help you explore these inheritances.
There are Two Paths:
What Is Family Constellations?
Family Constellations is rooted in the ancient intelligence, wisdom and rituals of the Zulu tribe of South Africa and then integrated within western systemic frameworks by German missionary Bert Hellinger.
Family Constellations is a somatic, experiential, and systemic approach that looks at family relationship dynamics and recurring intergenerational patterns to see how what happened in previous generations is influencing the following generations.
What might become possible:
A new perspective on recurring family dynamics.
Greater awareness of the roles and loyalties you carry.
Softening towards difficult relationships with self and others.
A more easeful relationship with money, career, business and success.
A clearer sense of what you want to carry forward—and what you want to transform for yourself and your descendants.
Who I am
I came to Family Constellations through my own desire to deepen my healing with the women in my lineage - my grandmothers, my mother and my daughter. Going through my own constellation allowed for me to soften, open my heart, and connect in a deeper way with my gente. I healed backwards so that me and my daughter could thrive forwards.
I am a Family Constellator trained under the guidance of Marina Toledo at the Hellinger Institute.
I have been a clinical social worker since 2013 and in my decolonizing of healing and reclaiming of ancestry, I have intentionally incorporated the indigenous frameworks, traditional mesoamerican medicine and spirituality of my ancestors into my offerings of healing.
I approach Family Constellations rooted in ceremony. My ancestors support me in holding circle as we welcome your ancestors, tend to the concern or issue that brought you, without intention or judgment, so that you may see “what is” and engage in healing backwards and forwards.
What to Expect:
You don't need to know your entire family history or arrive with all the answers.
We will begin with a concern, relationship, or recurring pattern you would like to explore.
I will guide you through an experiential process grounded in embodied awareness and use figurines to support your exploration.
I will then hold space for you to reflect on your experience and offer you an integration practice.
The movement will continue even after we part ways.

"Having a family constellations session with Diana was highly transformative. Diana guided the ceremony with incredible skill, warmth, grounded presence and intuition. I learned of dynamics, loyalties and patterns that gave me perspective on the conflicts that are present in my family today. The constellation allowed me to have immediate shifts from anger to compassion and greater understanding. I felt a weight released I hadn’t realized I was carrying and walked away with a deeper sense of peace and healing I hadn’t been able to access in other ways.”
