Client Feedback

“Hi Amanda. The weekend had been a profound experience for me… Thank you for the experience. I am definitely interested in further training.”
— Jeanne Oets, Clinical Psychologist, KZN, May 2014

“Dear Amanda, thank you so much for your wise, sensitive, intuitive and compassionate facilitation of a very, very special weekend. It felt like a real homecoming to this beautiful work… My own constellation was very profound and has continued ‘living’ since then — revealing new layers, insights, and feelings.”
— Rene S, KZN, May 2014

“Participating, observing and reflecting in the constellations helped me experience the healing power of working with systems. Seeing how strangers connect with others’ pain, grief and joy was deeply moving. This inspired me to learn more.”
— Lucinda J, Clinical Psychologist, KZN, May 2014

Systemic Therapy & Family Constellations

Systemic therapy acknowledges that we are not isolated beings — we are deeply embedded in our family systems, cultures, and larger collective fields.

Sometimes, we carry inherited patterns, loyalties, or trauma from previous generations that limit our lives in unseen ways.

Through constellations, we “zoom out” to see the bigger picture — unlocking new pathways toward:

  • Freedom

  • Insight

  • Strength

  • Belonging

  • Peace
