"Edwina facilitates the Family Constellations weekend from a place of compassion and extensive experience working with people. She is present to every person in the room at all times and her amazing insight just seems to flow. For anyone feeling the burden of entrenched unconscious patterns, this workshop can help unravel the blocks to feeling free to move forward. Whether booking a constellation for yourself, or to be a representative for others, I guarantee you will be blown away by the process. Thank you Edwina, for your insight and guidance. I left the workshop feeling grounded, positive and light and I look forward to participating in the future".

During this time she became interested in meditation & spirituality. She became very aware the key to helping others and the world was to work on yourself first. This led to a great interest or quest in how to be in the world interacting with others and still hold that state of being present in that moment. Her interest in human behaviour led to working with people to help them unlock their true potential.
Edwina discovered the work of a German therapist and philosopher, Bert Hellinger, called Family Constellations in 2003. This work is an amazing tool to tapping into consciousness (or the Knowing Field) and help people shift the destructive patterns that may be holding them back from being all that they can be.

I have learnt so much from Bert Hellinger, unfortunately not directly but through all his books and DVD's which are a constant source of knowledge.
A special thank you to my husband and family for their support.
Thank you also to all of you who have trusted me to work with you and I wish you all the best as you continue on this journey inwards towards the self.
