Training Details
​
-
Start Date: January 28, 2025
-
Sessions: Monthly, 3.5-hour classes, divided into theory and practicum.
-
Format: Our time together will be divided into theory and practicum modules.
-
The practicum section is group constellations.
-
Each member of our community will have a turn to have a constellation done during our training, all other members of the class will act as representatives.
-
Remember even if you are not having a constellation done, and you are a representative in someone else's constellation, there is always a part of your own story that plays out, bringing catharsis and healing for you.
-
Family Constellation training is planned over 2 years to cover all modules.
-
​​
"Even as a representative, one often experiences the release of personal stories and emotions, gaining catharsis and insight."
​
Our Community Intention
​
It is our human need to belong and have connection with each other. In this deep work, I intend to create a community of people who can support each other as we dive deep into our psyche. In my experience, we begin to see each other deeply and learn to hold each other without judgment of who we are and where we came from since no one family is without its story. My intention as your Facilitator and guide is to create a safe container for you to share your story and experience the stories of others in our community with compassion and kindness.
“Whoever desires to solve the mystery of Love’s Hidden Symmetry enters a complex labyrinth ..confronting the deceptions and illusions that weave themselves around us, dulling our senses and paralyzing our understanding as we try and unravel the secrets of the good beyond guilt and innocence. Nevertheless many have the courage to enter the labyrinth, to peer into darkness, and break the spell of false beliefs.” - Bert Hellinger

About Me
​​​​​​
I was born and grew up in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, I noticed how the Zulu people looked to their ancestry for guidance, this is part of what Bert Hellinger observed when he came to KwaZulu Natal as a missionary. When Hellinger returned to Germany he combined what he learned in South Africa with other therapies to create Family Constellations.
I certified with Yishai Gaster's school "International School for the Study in Systemic Constellations".
I am certified in both Family and Organizational Constellations as a Facilitator and Teacher.
We have continued to meet on Zoom as a group of therapists from around the world monthly to do our constellation work for many years now. Yishai trained directly with Bert Hellinger. Yishai’s style of working includes felts of color which is less confusing than many other styles (that don't use felts) and this is the style I incorporate in my work, I like the organic way it opens to the Field of Consciousness.
I have worked with many Family Constellation Facilitators in South Africa, the Bay Area, and other parts of the world.
I incorporate Color Therapy which I have been teaching and facilitating for over 25 years along with the Enneagram which I am also certified in through the Narrative Enneagram. Working with felts of color makes things clearer, I believe that Color Therapy tells yet another layer to our constellation story. I am probably one of the few therapists who add Color Therapy as an extra dimension to the Family Constellation work
I have partnered with Marion Gilbert of The Somatic Enneagram, we have combined Family Constellations and The Somatic Enneagram to offer a six-day retreat at the Mercy Center in Burlingame. We believe that these two therapies weave together offering us a rich tapestry of our stories and the healing that comes from here. We plan to continue with this work offering retreats in 2025.

Testimonials
​
"I have been training with Hemla of 7 Rays Holistic Center in family constellations for about 1.5 years and it has been quite the journey to say the least. I have done a few individual constellations prior to the training with Hemla, and this practice has been very healing in both group and one-on-one settings. I have witnessed how interconnected we all are- and how much our own unique life experiences are not so different after all. What brings healing and clarity for one person can do the same for many if not all of those participating in the session. It goes without saying that the bond in this community can become very strong as we deep dive into the past. It is so important to do so with like-minded souls as it creates a safe and supportive environment for everyone. This is necessary to explore what has been kept hidden for so long, and to bring peace for the individual or situation. Family constellations is a great way to help end karmic cycles, address unwanted patterns/behaviors and shed light on ancestral history. Ultimately, if anyone is called to this practice I definitely recommend it- just remember to go into it with an open mind, and more importantly, an open heart. "

"Family constellations have been nothing short of incredible. It has provided so much clarity and peace around conflicted relationships and patterns of behaviour. The healing experienced was unexpected and has brought freedom to my daily life. Being a part of this training has deepened my gratitude for all those that came before me. The community within this training is unconditionally supportive and loving! "
- Ashley J- Calgary, Canada 2024
“I am a second year student in Hemla’s Family Constellations training. She has a gift of teaching the theory and demonstrating the facilitation techniques with such deep wisdom, intuition, compassion and practicality. She’s created a beautiful curriculum and learning environment that fosters mastery of the material and a loving, connected community. As an added bonus, the impact of having some of my own issues constellated and participating in the constellations of others during this training has led to several a-ha moments, clarity and increased sense of well being. I feel more grounded and connected to myself, my family lineage and the beautiful souls in our cohort! Very grateful for the opportunity to participate in this program!

"Learning and receiving family constellations from Hemla has been a powerful experience. She does an amazing job of creating a bonded group that supports each other and tends to draw people that like to go deep. Her teaching style is flexible and intuitive, going with what feels the most important in the moment. In doing constellations in this group and now with my clients, I am always in awe of the healing that unfolds."
- Jeannie A, West Chester, PA 2024
"I absolutely love being part of Hemla‘s family constellation class. Hemla is an extraordinary teacher and Family Constellations is an extremely powerful tool, providing insight, healing and freedom from traumas inherited our ancestors. Our class has been together for a year and a half. We are a beautiful community of like-minded individuals who truly care, love and support one another. I am so grateful and blessed to know Hemla, experience the transformation of family constellations healing, and be a part of this beautiful community. Thank you Hemla! "
- Christie S, Portola Valley, CA 2024
"Being part of the Family Constellations Certification Program for over a year now has been an incredibly transformative journey for me. Initially stepping into this realm, I had little idea of what to expect, but a strong sense of trust led me forward.
One of the most profound aspects of this experience has been the sense of belonging to a community of kindred spirits. Surrounded by like-minded souls who understand me at a deep level, I've found a space where explanations are unnecessary; we simply 'get' each other. This sense of understanding and acceptance has been invaluable in my personal growth journey. I look forward to our monthly sessions because I know that everything that I share will be heard and accepted with grace.
One of the most profound lessons I've learned is the intricate connection between my present experiences and the echoes of my ancestral past. Family Constellations has illuminated the hidden threads that connect us to our lineage, showing me that the struggles and triumphs of my ancestors ripple through generations, influencing how circumstances unfold in my life today. As a result, I have a stronger acceptance of my family members and understanding why I have financial issues.
Through this process, I've come to understand that my healing isn't just for me alone; it reverberates through the tapestry of my family line, touching those who came before and those who will come after. As I heal, I become a conduit for healing not just for myself, but for my ancestors. In this journey, Hemla has been a guiding light, a true angel who embodies genuine love, guidance, and support. Her wisdom, intuition, trustworthiness, and honesty have been the cornerstone of our learning, growth, and journey. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher to walk alongside me on this path of discovery and healing.
While I'm still not entirely confident in my ability to be a facilitator, I'm learning to trust myself more each day. With each small step, I'm gaining confidence that I can lead and facilitate a constellation for a client. It's a journey of growth and self-discovery that I'm grateful to be on, knowing that I have the support and guidance of Hemla and my community every step of the way."
- Sonal M, Mountain View, CA 2024
"I have trained in Family Constellations with Hemla for over a year. Hemla’s attunement to each individual, the group as a whole, and the field of consciousness allows her to tap into and reveal truths that are sometimes surprising, but always resonant and deeply healing. My own experience of constellations with Hemla has changed the way I see my family system and its effects on me, and has allowed for the processing of blockages that have led to new openings in my life."
