Reflections on Resourcing / Re-Sourcing in Constellations Work
2013 - Shamanic Constellations Richard Higgens
Emma’s professional and diverse journey includes being a Pilates Instructor, a BodyTalk Practitioner, Muscle Activation, Tre (Trauma and Tension Releasing Exercises), Systemic Family Constellation, Fascia Release Therapy, Gestalt Counselling skills and QEC (Quantum Energy Coaching).
Emma was introduced to Family Constellation Therapy as part of sessions with her psychologist, and was amazed how much of her Grandparents’ and parents’ life experiences she was entangled with, and how they were influencing her life. Becoming aware of these patterns and working through a healing process allowed Emma to move forward in her life , releasing the stuckness and disassociation.
Just as we inherit physical traits from our parents, we also inherit emotional patterns that are unconscious and unspoken. Unaware of their influences upon us, we perpetuate family patterns of illness and disease, failure, unhappiness, addictions and alcoholism, depression etc. and pass them on to our children and generations thereafter.
Emma is body based in her work and draws on her diverse knowledge and experience to provide and facilitate a holistic experience for the client.
My focus is on Women's Group Processes centering on Family, Inner Parts, Collective and Ritual Constellations. These 6-month, closed groups offer avenues to reconnect with our own aliveness, explore our relationship with life (what we receive from, and what we give in service to life), and ultimately to experience the mysteries of our inter-connection with the living world. Working across individual, collective and ecological landscapes, I weave in creativity, inner bodily sensing, deep nature connection and ritual work.
I also offer individual and couple constellations, and am exploring an integration of sand play and constellation work.
My work concentrates on identifying what is needed to increase the effectiveness and contentedness of people... at work and in their other various roles in life. Transactional Analysis and Systemic Constellations are important modalities contributing to my own development and my work with clients. I work one-on-one and in groups, in various spaces - offices, horse paddocks and online.

Robyn trained with various constellation schools to develop a deeper understanding of the different styles of constellations. She is guided by the field and the issue presented by the client as to the style of facilitation to follow. Her occupation as an Energy Healer (including Hypnosis and Past Life work), and as a Shamanic Practitioner and Diviner, which requires a deep relationship with her Ancestors and Elementals, influences her constellation work.
She works with clients to remove the sense of stuckness, repeated patterns or imbalance, be it physical, emotional or spiritual, so that a sense of flow and inner peace can return to one's life.
Robyn offers regular Constellation Circles with group constellations and usually works with a theme which is explored using constellation exercises in the form of structured constellations. In one-on-one constellation sessions, Robyn may combine the constellation with Crystal Surgery, Soul Retrieval or other energy healing modalities, should this be needed to support the client's healing.
Group and individual sessions are offered online and in person.
For Constellation Facilitators, Robyn offers Supervision and hosts Constellation Conversations, which explore various themes relating to constellations.

The human unconscious communicates in a fundamentally sensory way. Memories are imbedded in colour, texture, form, sound, smell and taste. As a sculptor, I am acutely aware of this form of communication and the embodied wisdom it carries. It is the language before words, understood well by children, in dreams and imbedded in our genetics passed down by our ancestors. The family constellation model provides a beautiful ‘conscious brain’ framework that allows this type of communication to in-form our understanding of ourselves in a new (and ancient) way.
My vision is to provide a space where these two ways of ‘knowing’ play side by side -like children- reconnecting us not only to our proper place within the family but also to the ancestral wisdoms that we are connected to through embodied sensing.
