Family Constellations came into Charaka’s life more than 20 years ago, after many years of working with and teaching healing modalities.

Family Constellations are a unique, powerful methodology to free yourself, and your children, from repetitive patterns, damaging behaviours, and emotional and addictive states. These can be unconsciously taken on from the family system and can both control and limit your life.
This method of working allows us to go to the very roots of the situations you find yourself in now and see how they link to former generations. Through this work we look into the family soul and see who needs to be included and where the love needs to flow. This work is all about love.
