Hi Iām Julia.
Born and raised in Germany, my parents separated when I was young. Does that define me? No. They are the bare facts of my background that have contributed to who I am today. Set me off on my path. In my mid-twenties I started my mission to dig a bit deeper:
about who I am and the way I relate to people.
I am fascinated by how our upbringing and previous experiences inform so much of our everyday lives, often way under our radar.
And sometimes it's worth looking a bit further. This is where systemic or family constellations can help so very much.
physiotherapy, children, countries
Originally, I trained as a Physiotherapist. My first deep encounter with family constellations was in 2004, I was pregnant with my second child. I had given up my job in Germany and our young family had moved to Hampshire, closer to my husband's parents. I loved being a (stay-at-home) mum and spent my free time (haha... I know...) reading, discussing and learning about emotional development in children. But I was also struggling with settling in the UK, 'the grass is always greener on the other side' syndrome... Needing to find a place inside me for my heart to rest, it turned out.
family, or systemic, constellations
I have a strong memory of the first three-day workshop I attended. The beginning of my heart-homing story. Watching the facilitator, the talented Judith Hemming, and thinking to myself: "Ohh, I want to do something like this one day".
In 2012 I started my two year training in Systemic Family Constellations with the CSC in London.
I am a founding member of a strong international peer group for practice and supervision and regularily attend conferences & courses.
