A personal note:

Thirty-five years ago, when I was just starting my family, I was accepted into a graduate program in
Counseling. But life, as we know, often takes us in directions we don’t expect. Responsibilities and
opportunities pulled me in a different direction. Most of my career has been as a writer, editor and
teacher. I’ve been a professional storyteller and an artist. I’ve enjoyed teaching both children and
adults.

However, after I first experienced the power and depth of Family Constellation Work, I returned to my
original dream. Within months of my own constellation, I was enrolled in graduate school and
facilitator training for Family Constellation Work. A year and a half later, I completed both.

My love for Family Constellation Work comes from my continuous and deepening respect for its
effectiveness and power to transform lives. We’re just entering an age where the scientific community
is beginning to see the truth in what spiritual traditions have been telling us all along. We are more
than just our bodies and minds! Constellation Work takes its place beside trauma studies and
psychoneuroimmunology in creating a better understanding of the healing power of soul work.
