Testimonial from the last workshop: I really appreciate your expertise and ability to get to the core of the personal issues of those of us who attended your Family Constellation workshop. You and the group helped me (an ovarian cancer survivor) to get "unstuck" from the fear of a cancer recurrence. The benefit was effective immediately! It's so wonderful to be able to move forward with my life. Thank you for your dedication to this work. Carolen K |
