Family Constellation Work
Family Constellation Work is a therapeutic process designed to reveal the inter-generational dynamics within a family system and address the conscious and unconscious entanglements therein. As these entanglements become conscious, resource arises and the way to heal them becomes more clear.
I attended my first Family Constellation in 2010, and although I was only a representative in the constellation, I had a deep healing regarding my father. The experience stayed with me and the question that arose was this: - How can such deep, generational work happen in such a simple and efficient way? In 2015, I attended Family Constellation circles in the SF Bay Area. At first, I attended as a representative and then I received my own constellation. In 2016, I attended my first facilitator training, and began to understand my lingering question.

"Energy goes where attention flows." |
One of the answers is honoring the Orders of Love:
- Acknowledging What Is
- The importance of Belonging
- Sibling Order
- Balance of Giving and Taking
- Taking Responsibility and Addressing Transgressions
A Family Constellation takes place in a one-on-one session, or in a group setting. They are led by a facilitator and are held either online or in person. In both forms, the facilitator and client meet beforehand to get acquainted and discuss the current issue(s) at hand, and set intentions for the work.
With mindfulness and by observing the Orders of Love, the group facilitator asks for representatives from the group and guides them through a process in which unconscious family dynamics become clear and entanglements, both conscious and unconscious, come to the surface for healing. In the one-on-one session, the facilitator uses a tableau along with symbolic objects which represent the family system. A Constellation can create a ripple effect from the client to the entire family system, which often results in new ways of being with ourselves and in relationship to our families.

A Family Constellation includes:
- A Complimentary Consultation: A time for us to get acquainted and set intentions for our work together.
- An Individual or Group Constellation
- Follow-up appointment (optional): 4-6 weeks later. This is a time to integrate the Constellation.
In their own words:
"I was so blessed to receive a Family Constellations reading with Tomi. Tomi was incredible at holding space for me to listen to my intuition and also channeled accurate messages from the energy of each of my family members. Tomi is very intuitive and also makes you feel comfortable to be vulnerable. It was a beautiful process and I could feel how this moved emotions within me and also ancestral energies. I was able to see and understand my patterns and belief systems around the topic of money. After the session, I felt more empowered to write & create a new story for myself. I highly recommend doing a session with Tomi". D.S. 10/22
