Family Constellations are a very powerful solution-focused process that reveal unconscious entanglements that we have with our family of origin which are affecting us today. Once these hidden dynamics are brought to our conscious awareness, they are shifted and we feel a sense of freedom from issues that were holding us back before.

This method was developed by Bert Hellinger, a German therapist who wanted to help people gain insight into their problems and overcome them by using the past as inspiration for present change.

Family constellations are conducted in a workshop setting. The "seeker" stands in the centre, surrounded by other individuals who represent members of his or her family.

A facilitator chooses these representatives and places them into position as members of the individual's family, also choosing one person to take the place of the seeker in order to complete the family dynamic.

The use of other individuals to represent the family is believed to illuminate disharmony within the family, and those standing in as members of the family are believed to feel emotions felt by their counterparts.

Hellinger calls this sense of connectedness that's felt telepathically by members of the group a "morphogenic field."

Although the participants in the process rarely speak, it is said that all who participate have a sense of knowing. The seeker watches from outside the group to gain new perspective on the problem. None of the members knows the seeker or is aware of his or her issues, but they often report an awareness of specific emotions and feelings related to his or her situation.

The facilitator may ask members to explain what they are feeling, specifically in relation to other members of the family. This sheds light on certain emotions and relational aspects that can be clearly connected to this person's issue.

Children, teenagers and adults. It can be used safely for vulnerable groups, babies, children, pregnant and nursing mothers, the elderly and for those with compromised immune systems.

As a homeopath, I choose a remedy to carefully match your physical and mental symptoms along with your emotional state. The remedies are non-toxic, safe to take and have no dangerous side effects. They have a pleasant taste and come in pill, powder and liquid form. A broad range of remedies are approved by the Health Products Regulatory Authority (previously known as the Irish Medicines Board) which regulates all medicines in this country. They are manufactured by strictly regulated homeopathic pharmacies. A wide variety of substances from the plant, mineral and animal kingdoms are used to make homeopathic remedies.

There are many pharmacies and health shops in Ireland that sell homeopathic remedies both in-store and online, one I recommend is Down to Earth Dublin.

HDT takes a step further by considering external influences that affect health. It employs potentized versions of disruptive factors to remove obstacles hindering the healing process. This method is combined with constitutional homeopathic remedies and orthomolecular supplements for holistic support.

HDT offers insights into the origin of pathology and its impact on various systems and organs. It provides a systematic approach to address disturbances caused by factors like "never well since" complaints, extended medication usage, and vaccinations.

Homeopathic remedies should be stored away from sunlight, preferably in a cool dark place. Remedies need to be kept away from strong smelling substances. This includes medicines, camphor, lotions, perfume, strong aromatherapy oils etc.

Keep a note of any changes you experience after taking the remedy. Sometimes after taking a remedy, other symptoms can arise that indicate the body is “detoxing”. These symptoms are often a return of old symptoms and are usually short-term. They may last for a few days or weeks, depending on the level of imbalance. If you feel that you are able to cope with the symptoms, it is important that you allow the body to detox without intervention, as this will support the body in cleansing and balance.

If you feel that you cannot cope with the symptoms, stop taking the remedy and contact me on (087) 9509679 and we will discuss an adjustment in potency or dosage of the remedy.

What else can be done to help the body through healing? It can be as simple as eating nutritious, wholesome foods, getting gentle exercise (walking, swimming, yoga). Homeopathic treatment can provide the ideal environment for self-reflection and changes in lifestyle habits.

Shamanic healing involves the practitioner acting as an intermediary between the spirit world and the individual seeking healing. Through rituals, energy work, and connecting with spirit guides and power animals, I identify and address energetic imbalances, emotional blockages, and other sources of suffering.

Shamanic healing can address a wide range of challenges, including physical ailments, emotional traumas, spiritual disconnection, and personal growth. It's a holistic approach that aims to restore harmony and balance to the individual on multiple levels.

Each journey is unique, but in a shamanic healing session, you might engage in guided journeys to non-ordinary states of consciousness, energy clearing, and ceremonies. I may also work with power animals, spirit guides, and ancestral energies to facilitate healing and insight.
