Heal The Wounds That Didn’t Start With You
Systemic Family Constellations illuminates what lives beneath the surface, making healing possible across generations
Sound Like You?
“I feel stuck in the same emotional patterns, no matter how much work I do.”
“I don’t understand why I keep sabotaging myself when things start going well.”
“There’s a pattern in my family that keeps repeating—and I don’t want to pass it on.”
“Even though my childhood wasn’t that bad, I still feel this deep sadness I can’t explain.”
“I feel blocked around money, love, or belonging, like something invisible is in the way.”
“I know something happened in my lineage, but no one talks about it.”
You’re not imagining it. Some of what you carry might not have started with you. Family Constellation work can help illuminate—and heal—those roots.
This Approach Is For You If You’re:
Doing inner work but still feel stuck or confused by certain emotional patterns.
Navigating complex family relationships, estrangement, or generational wounds.
Experiencing guilt, fear, or pressure in your role within your family — and want relief
Tired of feeling dysregulated and want a bigger capacity to navigate life with ease
Often “the one who feels everything” in your family or the one trying to hold it all together.
Want to better understand inherited patterns around money, love, success, or belonging.
Feel called to explore the unseen dynamics shaping your health, relationships, or purpose.
You feel loyal to your family, but it comes at the cost of your own joy, freedom, or wellbeing.
You feel disconnected from your roots or uncertain about where you belong.
You’re aware of events like war, immigration, untimely death, suicide, adoption, or significant loss in your family history and wonder how they might still be affecting you.
“It actually made a lot of sense. Seeing everything laid out like that helped me stop overthinking — it wasn’t all just in my head anymore. Luana somehow picked up on things I hadn’t even told her, which was kind of mad. After the session, I felt way calmer in my body and had a much better understanding of what happened and what I want to do moving forward.” — Charles T.
What Are Systemic Family Constellations?
Systemic Constellations Therapy is a healing modality that helps uncover and resolve unconscious loyalties, inherited trauma, relationship issues and entanglements in your current affairs, family or ancestral line.
This approach was developed by Bert Hellinger, a German psychotherapist who spent over 15 years living and working with the Zulu people in South Africa. Deeply influenced by their collective, ancestral worldview and the philosophy of Ubuntu, Hellinger later integrated these insights with Western psychotherapy—particularly drawing from Carl Jung’s work on archetypes and the collective unconscious.
In this work, we don't pathologize—we observe. We bring hidden patterns to light and allow new, healing movements to emerge through embodied awareness and compassionate witnessing.
This isn’t about blaming your family—it’s about liberating your lineage.
“When a trauma is too overwhelming, it can bypass the individual and live on in the family system. It can then express itself in future generations as symptoms we struggle to explain.”
— Mark Wolynn, It Didn’t Start With You
As a trauma-trained practitioner, I bring over a decade of experience supporting clients through intergenerational healing.
My approach to Systemic Family Constellations is grounded in somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, spirituality, and deep respect for ancestral lineage. I bring over a decade of experience in trauma healing and have completed a year-long intensive training in Systemic Family Constellations, which deepened my ability to hold this work with skill, nuance, and care. Whether you're looking to heal trauma in your family line, strengthen your sense of belonging, or break cycles for future generations, I create a safe, reverent space for the truths that want to be seen.

Luana offers this work in two formats:
Private Constellations — 1:1 sessions held on Zoom or in-person. These are great for people who prefer a confidential, personalized space.
Group Constellations — Held both in person and online. These workshops allow participants to either bring a personal issue or attend as a witness or representative, both of which can be profoundly healing.

Systemic Family Constellations was developed by Bert Hellinger, a German psychotherapist deeply influenced by the Zulu people of South Africa, with whom he lived and worked for over 15 years.
The Zulu worldview, rituals, and their specific language of healing offered him profound insight into ancestral belonging, relational repair and collective well-being.
Hellinger observed how the Zulu held specific ceremonies and language for restoring harmony and mending broken relationships—wisdom that shaped the constellation method. He later integrated his learnings with Western psychotherapy and Carl Jung’s archetypal psychology, creating a bridge between ancient collective knowing and western healing modalities.
Luana’s facilitation is informed not only by her formal training but also by her own ancestral roots—from Brazil and Algeria, with deeper ties to both the Amazon and the African continent. Her work is supported by the lens of her lived experience and guided by the good ancestors who stand behind her, shaping her facilitation with reverence, integrity, and intuition.
