‘I have known Hemla for over 9 years now. Hemla trained in my certification program in the Family Constellations approach. After certifying Hemla has participated in many post-grad events developing her proficiency to the highest standards. As a trainee and then as a postgrad participant, Hemla was always able to bring with her to the different groups a presence that was inclusive, calming, and curious with a deep understanding of the many levels the human condition is involved in. Her ability to simultaneously be in such a presence allowed other participants around her to deepen their own work and observe their own processes and those of others with the same qualities - inclusion, calmness, and curiosity. These abilities removed judgment and criticism from the room and instilled a feeling of high moral values ​​on the one hand and uncompromising professionalism on the other.I think that any person or organization which will be helped by Hemla’s services, immediately feel her presence and the unique qualities she brings with her.”
Yishai Gaster, Israel Founder of The Constellations Path (2006) The Path to the Mastery of Systemic Constellations
“Hemla Makan-Dullabh brings to her work with clients a unique blend of Family Constellation overlaid with color therapy. Add to this Hemla's keen intuition and many years of experience with other therapeutic modalities and the result is a powerful experience that fosters healing and growth. Hemla is a joy to work with and, to anyone seeking support and insight on the spiritual journey, I recommend Hemla's process most highly.”-Susan Mehrtens, Ph.D. President, The Jungian Center
"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. "

“I first met Hemla at a time when I was dealing with a lot of life's challenges. I had been to a number of therapists with little healing. Hemla's calm and genuinely caring nature was exactly what I needed. I particularly loved colour therapy and was always intrigued how we know which bottles we need. I found so much value in her treatments that I sent my husband and two teenage children who all benefited.”
- Eva H.S, Stilbaai, South Africa 2002 - 2010
"I along with my two children have personally experienced Hemla's amazing and helpful healing. She is truly one of a kind and is very knowledgeable and professional. I have referred many friends and patients to her."

"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 - 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, 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, 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."

I’ve worked with Hemla for several months both in groups and individual sessions. She is an intuitive guide who knows just the right questions to ask to spur personal growth. She has a vast reservoir of knowledge from which to guide. I’ve benefitted from her detailed explanation of the enneagram and various methods for meditation. Hemla is so very good at bringing the esoteric down to reality, encouraging practical application of time-honored techniques. She is a good listener, patient and compassionate. I have benefitted greatly from her wisdom and highly recommend others make a similar commitment to themselves by utilizing her services.
- Melissa 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."
- Kari, New York, NY, 2024

"I have been studying with Hemla for over 6 years in her metaphysics class. She is a unique teacher with so much knowledge and background to bring to the class. It has been a comfortable space to learn with the other students. The class size is small and intimate. Over the years we have grown together to explore unlimited subjects. When the class ends I feel more grounded and curious about life."
​-Kathy G 2024

“Hemla’s knowledge of color theory and her intuition to bring in other modalities is a healing experience. Her calming presence and years of experience is truly a gift to us all. She has helped me see the beauty within my heart and soul. I have been a part of the Metaphysics Community from the very beginning, around 8 years ago”
​​-Kim W 2024

“I love Hemla's metaphysics class. It provides a beautiful community of like-minded people to come together and hold space for each other. She has such a vast accumulation of knowledge and insights on the matter. I feel lucky to be a part of this community and to be able to have a wonderful guiding hand on my spiritual journey.”
​-Mariko 2024
“I've been a part of Hemla's Metaphysical Group for two months. I've learned so much from Hemla in the short time I've been with the group. She provides a nice balance of conceptual frameworks, tools, and hands-on practice. This community is made up of a wonderful group of women who are on a similar path of learning and self-discovery. They are thoughtful and self-reflective, with a certain level of experience that creates a safe environment to be vulnerable and open, all elements that support personal growth and learning. I feel like I'm meeting my goal of learning how to understand and more deeply develop my intuition and capacity for channeling. I have individual friends and people I know who are like-minded but not a community like this that meets regularly with an experienced guide and teacher such as Hemla. It's exactly what I've been looking for and hadn't found until Hemla invited me to join this group. Thank you Hemla!
​-Jenny 2024
“I have been part of the Metaphysics Group facilitated by Hemla for the past 3 1/2 years.
We have explored many topics such as Sacred Archetypes, Joseph Campbell’s Teachings, The Flower of Life Book, and Family Constellations. Meditations and rich discussions are part of each session with like-minded individuals, eager to explore all areas of spirituality. I always look forward to what messages and imagery I might receive from the guided meditations ignited by the energy of the group. Hemla also shares her vast knowledge and experience working in various healing modalities with the group. It has been a privilege to be part of this class.

​"Hemla has been hugely helpful in helping me to heal a serious health issue. I have become quite confirmed in my acceptance of energy work as I have actually felt changes occurring as Hemla has worked on me and also experienced significant improvement in my health during the days following. She is a joy to be around and she is incredibly soothing while also being straightforward and direct in her direction. She also knows how to have fun and throw out a good laugh."
~Felicia

"Color Therapy is just one of many healing modalities she does, that have helped me begin to set boundaries, build self-confidence, and embrace self-love. I'm planning to take my grandchildren to experience Color Therapy as well. She will teach them how to set boundaries, intentions, learn to express their feelings & how important self-love & acceptance is...all while playing. It's truly amazing what a little color can do!"
~Donna

"Thoroughly enjoyed my time with Hemla - as a matter of fact, it affected me in a way I wasn't expecting. After having my 1-1 with her, I felt like I had a clearer purpose in my life. I felt centered and absolutely wanting to hear more from her. Definitely buying her package and going back for more. Shifting is good and I'm ready for it."
-Debbie​​
​
"Her uniqueness lies in her ability to “listen" with all her senses open and integrated. This, in combination with her ability to sensitively assess each individual as a unique being assists her in selecting and applying an appropriate therapy or combination of techniques, whose primary aims are to enable people to lead a fuller and more conscious life in alignment with their inner purpose. Hemla has a warm, generous manner which allows even the most trepidatious of clients to feel included, safe and relaxed in what can be an intimate experience of self discovery."
-John
​​
​​"Hemla is a uniquely skilled healer. Rather than offering just one or two methodologies, she has accumulated a wealth of knowledge in a variety of energy healing techniques. I have been particularly amazed by her color therapy technique, which she has adapted, refined and perfected into her own unique form. At each session, the meaning of each color I've chosen has reflected with uncanny accuracy a present situation, emotion, and/or need. I leave each session with Hemla feeling revitalized and fortified.
~ Dianne

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear! And what a gift it is when the teacher is Hemla.
I have had the good fortune of working with Hemla for well over a decade now and can truly say her courses and readings are exceptional. She always works from a space of authentic wisdom and pure intention which makes each and every session an experience of divine love!"
~Michelle

“I booked a constellation session with Hemla after hearing her on a podcast, and knew I had to work with her to help work through the blockages I was experiencing in trying to conceive my daughter. I had been through 4 rounds of IVF to conceive my son and suffered two blighted ovum miscarriages and was terrified of it happening again if I were to undergo fertility treatments again. In the session, we explored my Irish ancestry and healed the blight of the potato famine in my Irish past.
6 months later, I did one final round of IVF and got one perfect embryo that resulted in a pregnancy that was NOT blighted…my beautiful, perfect baby girl was born healthy and full term.
I can not thank Hemla enough for the powerful work she observed for me that day. I am so grateful to her for the part she played in bringing my daughter home safely to me and helping me complete my family. “ With love and gratitude,
-Robyn H - Canada 2022
“Hemla brings to her work a unique sensitivity and wisdom that is rare. She has substance, knowledge, and understanding of the modalities she works in. In concert with her intuitive capacity, this enables her to guide her clients, or perhaps even better, to uncover the barriers that block them so they can guide themselves. Hemla is always growing her repertoire of interests which is a sign of someone who knows that we all need to be lifelong learners. You will find it a joy to work with her!”
Barbara W - San Mateo, CA 2021
“When I did the channeling course with Hemla in 2009 it opened me up, I connected with my higher consciousness and with light beings and it was a very beautiful experience. It has taken my career to clearer heights and helped expand my business. I feel blessed to have Hemla as my Mentor”
-Risha M - Newcastle, South Africa.
Hemla is a rare gem! She's one of the loveliest people/souls I've been blessed to know. She knows how to make a person feel safe, seen, appreciated and is such an amazing mentor. I took one of her online workshops on 'rediscovering you and bringing self-love into your life,' wow! I learned so much about myself, and felt deeply connected every step of the way. I look forward to digging deeper and taking more of her workshops/classes!
Jessica F -Santa Clara, CA
“Hemla and I met in an enneagram group about 4 years ago. It was clear that she was kind, sensitive, and deeply insightful. When she began teaching a metaphysics class, I jumped at the opportunity to study with her. I am also taking her Psychology of Color class. I am in awe of her depth of knowledge. Hemla can present a lot of material in a form that feels like, a deeply personal exploration, with activities that have led me to a deeper understanding of myself. Hemla has remarkable intuitive abilities. In the class setting, she senses what we need, and uses that insight to guide our direction. With all of this, she has formed each class into a true group, a safe, open, and loving space where we share and explore the inner and often unrealized aspects of ourselves. Hemla creates a space that both grounds and amplifies each member’s energy and insight through connection with like-minded souls. Our metaphysics class began in person, before Covid, then switched to an online format and the class remains every bit as vital as it was when we were in person.”
-Claudia O - Mountain View, CA
“The Psychology of Color has been an enlightening and unique experience exploring the role color plays in our healing journey of the mental, emotional, and physical. Hemla has the ability to embrace each participant while holding space for participants to grow and learn at his or her own pace. In academic teaching terms, her style is known as Individualized Teaching/Learning or meeting each student at his or her level of understanding. She creates a safe environment of inclusivity for all. Throughout the journey, we are guided to uncover and nurture our own internal gems and to expand our ability to view ourselves, and others as unique expressions of the Universal Interconnection of All, the One, and encompassed within Indra's Net. Thank You, Hemla!”
-Deborah C - San Fransisco, CA
“Hemla is incredible! I am slowly beginning to explore holistic therapy for some struggles that I have had for years, and Hemla is very gentle, kind, and intuitive about where I have been and what I need. I had one color therapy session and I look forward to going back for more as well as quantum energetix.”

Awaken Your Intuition (Channeling) Workshops & Training
“I didn't know what to expect when I took this course. I knew I trusted Hemla and was very curious about the idea of “awakening my intuition”. What an amazing day! It was a wonderful way to learn more about connecting to myself, my own inner voice and to trust myself. I am more comfortable now when the noise gets too loud to calm down and really trust myself. It's amazing what we are able to hear once we focus, slow down, and listen. Hemla has a very soothing presence and is very patient and kind throughout the process. She has a wonderfully gentle way of guiding you throughout the course. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to connect more with their own inner voice.”
-Nirmala Patni - Palo Alto, CA 2016

"A great course, it was relaxing and I felt like I learned a lot about myself. That I do have the answers inside if I stop and listen, this is what the course teaches you"
-Nicki Jones- Palo Alto, CA 2016
"Hemla is truly gifted. I have done a few different types of therapies with her, including color therapy and Quantum Energetix, and will definitely be back for more. Hemla's approach is gentle and soothing as she works to heal mind, body, and spirit. Both therapies provided me with insight and solace during an extremely stressful time. I left each treatment feeling invigorated and calm. She also equipped me with tools that I've incorporated into my daily life. I highly recommend Hemla to anyone seeking to make a positive change in their lives."
-Tracy B - Palo Alto, CA 2016
“I've known Hemla for over 12 years. We were initially introduced socially, and I had an immediate connection to her and felt very comfortable in her presence. As our friendship developed, so too did our paths meet on a professional level.
Being an intuitive healer myself, I have often consulted Hemla at her practice for my own healing and guidance. She is a gifted healer, who uses various modalities, such as such as color therapy, crystal healing, chakra balancing, regression therapy, and channeling.
Hemla really understands her client's needs and works with compassion, understanding, love, and light. Her sessions bring insight, awareness, clarity, and hope. She has been a wonderful blessing in my life. Thank you Hemla."
-SMH - Johannesburg, South Africa 2016
“Hemla really creates a loving and bright space for you to heal. Surprisingly (and wonderfully surprisingly, I should add) it’s not serious. It’s fun and light, even when you are talking about heavy matters of the heart. If you are lucky enough to be in a session with her, it’s almost as if you’re in a bubble of light, where anything is possible and everything feels like joy.
Hemla helped me really shift my life into the most positive space it’s ever been in. I truly miss being around her and our sessions."
-Kamanee Govender - Pretoria, South Africa 2016
"Hemla has far surpassed my expectations. She has brought an invaluable insight into my life with her phenomenal skills and acumen. It is amazing to see how often our problems are all so common, yet having the objective outside perspective of someone like Hemla, really helps you implement practical solutions to these challenges. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Hemla and would highly recommend her. It is truly “ Life Changing”!"
-Joti Vallabh- Toronto, Canada 2016
“ Little did I know that doing the channeling workshop with Hemla would help me find my life’s purpose. This workshop guided me to discover my inner power and connect with my intuition.”
