Family Constellations: Your Bridge to Integration

From Division to Wholeness: The Healing Journey

Dear divided heart, let me show you the way home. Not the house over there, not the house over here. **The house within you.

Family constellations are much more than a therapeutic technique. They are a sacred method that allows your soul to reclaim what it left behind without having to give up what it has built here.

How family constellations heal systemic uprooting

In over 20 years of accompanying people around the world, I have seen how constellations do three powerful things:

1. They make the invisible visible

Constellations bring to light:

  • The loyalties that keep you bound to suffering.
  • The guilt that keeps you from thriving
  • The soul contracts that sabotage you
  • The lost fragments you need to recover

You will no longer be fighting invisible enemies. You'll be able to see clearly what's blocking you.

Regardless of the physical distance, constellations reconnect you energetically with:

  • Your roots
  • Your lineage
  • The strength of those who came before
  • The blessing that was always there

3. Integrate both cultures into a coherent identity.

You will no longer have to choose between being:

  • From here or from there
  • Loyal to your roots or adapted to your new life
  • Mexican or American

**You will be BOTH. Completely. No division. No guilt.

💭 DO YOU FEEL TORN BETWEEN TWO WORLDS?

**Do you feel that you betray your family if you fully adapt here? Or that you deny your essence if you fully embrace the new culture?

This division is not your fault. It is a systemic dynamic that affects millions of migrants. And it has a solution.

👉 Integrate Your Divided Identity - Family Constellation Session

The 4 dynamics that constantly appear in migrants

After thousands of constellation therapy sessions, I have identified four patterns that appear over and over again:

DYNAMIC 1: Denial of origin 🚫

"I'm not from there anymore. I'm an American. "

What I see in the office:

  • Parents who refuse to speak Spanish with their children.
  • People who change their name to "sound more American".
  • Embarrassment of one's own customs
  • Rejection of anything that reminds them of "where they come from".

Why it happens: The soul believes that to belong HERE, it must reject THERE.

The systemic truth: The more you deny your roots, the weaker you become. Roots give you strength, they don't take it away.

DYNAMIC 2: The guilt of thriving 💰

"I can't have more than my family that stayed behind. "

What I see in practice:

  • People who earn well but live like they have nothing.
  • Financial self-sabotage just when things are starting to go well.
  • Sending all the money back, leaving themselves with nothing
  • Feeling guilt every time they buy something for themselves

Why it happens: Unconscious loyalty to ancestral suffering.

Systemic truth: Your prosperity honors your ancestors' sacrifice, not betrays it.

DYNAMIC 3: The Divided Identity 🎭

"I am not Latino enough for those over there, nor American enough for those here. "

What I see in the office:

  • People who don't feel comfortable anywhere.
  • Children who reject the culture of origin in order to "fit in".
  • Constant feeling of being "foreign" in both places
  • Identity crises that last for decades

Why it happens: The soul has not learned that it can honor both cultures without betraying either.

The systemic truth: You are a bridge, not a battleground. You can integrate both worlds into your being.

DYNAMIC 4: "I don't belong anywhere" 🏚️

"I am an emotional statelessness. "

What I see in the consulting room:

  • Deep existential loneliness
  • Inability to put down roots in the new place
  • Shallow relationships because "I'm still going to leave".
  • Feeling of having no real home

Why it happens: The soul is fragmented between two territories.

The systemic truth: Your home is inside you. And you can take it wherever you go.

🎯 DO YOU RECOGNIZE ANY OF THESE DYNAMICS IN YOUR LIFE?

**If so, my love, your soul is asking you for help. These dynamics are not resolved by willpower. They need to be worked on at a systemic level.

Family constellations allow you to see these dynamics clearly and reorganize them so that your life can flow.

The transformative power of a single session

Let me share with you what can happen in a family constellation session for migrants:

BEFORE the session:

  • You feel torn between two worlds
  • You carry guilt for being here
  • You can't enjoy your success
  • You feel you betrayed your family
  • Your heart is still "over there".

DURING the session:

  • We see where your energy is trapped
  • Identify invisible loyalties
  • Recover fragments of your soul
  • Honor what you left behind
  • Give you permission to thrive

AFTER the session:

  • You feel peace with your decision to migrate
  • You can enjoy yourself without guilt
  • You feel complete here AND there
  • Your energy flows freely
  • Your children are freed from carrying your pain

The session was absolutely incredible! I was able to heal a very deep wound... Alejandra is absolutely sweet and beautifully grounded. My family constellation session was incredible! I had heard about this kind of modality, but never signed on to receive a session. Well, I've been going deep into my inner work, and it seemed like everywhere I turned I was being nudged to book a session. So I booked, and the session was absolutely incredible! Definitely have your tissues ready! What I loved. The most was some thing that I thought I made peace with showed a completely different side to look at and I was able to heal a very deep wound that really was hurting me personally in my life. Alejandra is absolutely sweet and beautifully grounded. She is so easy to talk to, and is so intuitive. I absolutely loved my session, and highly recommend everyone do so!

Amazing deep healing... feel like entire planets and constellations are moving right now. She is worth having a session with and discovering this deep river of healing love. Amazing deep healing: the place within that never was able to move never was clear never had a voice: all was opened up, revealed and spoken with in the healing space Alejandra creates and opens. She is very sweet and safe to share with and very focused on the work and healing that needs to be addressed here and now no matter how back in the generations the issues are located. She is very patient and deeply into feelings: she gave me time to really deeply feel inside and all the places shapes and forms those feelings are within me. She assisted me in speaking more clearly with myself. She gave me many suggestions for integration and deeper embrace of the work done in session. i feel very complete and very supported and free to return to her for more work if I choose to. I am gonna choose. All the power in my life is mine to choose and direct and show up in. It was fun, tender, deeply healing; feel like entire planets and constellations are moving right now. It will take some time for what was done in such a short time to move and dance and reveal. Again, I feel supported and safe and clear in the process I am in. I am grateful for Alejandra. My experience is she is worth having a session with and discovering this deep river of healing love that she offers.

I was reassured from the very first session that she was the right person to help me... I'll be forever thankful. I'm so thankful for having found Alejandra and have her guide me through my journey to healing. Having had unpleasant and unhelpful experiences with therapy and psychoanalysis before, I was reassured from the very first session that she was the right person to help me get control over my anxiety, overcome childhood trauma and connect with spirituality. I have been able to find a way to forgive and love myself and with this love all those around me. She helped me rebuild self confidence that have made a big difference in my personal and professional life. I know feel like I have the tools to deal with life's difficulties and find enjoyment in every day. I'll be forever thankful.

I've worked with her on many aspects of my life, and thanks to her support, I'm beginning to achieve dreams that once seemed impossible. She listens with empathy, delves deeply without judgment, knows how to guide you where you need to go, and you feel she truly cares. I'll never tire of thanking her for her presence in my life.

I will always be grateful for her dedication since there were days that it was challenging to speak and she had the patience and the right words. It took me years to find someone that I can trust about my personal life. I tried different therapists that only wanted to give me medication for my anxiety during the first session. However, Alejandra never give up on me and I was able to open myself about my childhood problems that I carried my whole life. I speak Spanish and English, but when I tried talking about my childhood in English, it was hard to express myself and finding someone that can speak Spanish was plus in my journey. I will always be grateful for her dedication since there were days that it was challenging to speak and she had the patience and the right words.

I've found each session to be profoundly moving... The time and experience has felt sacred to me. I've attended 3 sessions with Alejandra and Jay. I've found each session to be profoundly moving in a unique way. The time and experience has felt sacred to me, and that would not be possible without the care and supportive attention of the facilitators. I would recommend them to anyone interested in growth and prepared for a challenge.

I find Family Constellations Therapy an astounding modality... I felt they created a highly warm, caring, and safe container. Let's face it, meeting our challenges head on and create change in our life is not always an easy task. Nor is the direction always clear and comfortable. To gain more insights and discover the root cause of issues there's a way. Throughout the years, I have involved myself in many healing practices. I wanted to live a life that I could thrive in rather than survive in. I find Family Constellations Therapy an astounding modality for this. It has really assisted me to dive deep within myself. I have created more understanding, peace, love, balance, and harmony in my life with a way that I feel is efficient, has grace, dignity, empathy, and compassion. My experience with Jay and Ale was very positive. I felt they created a highly warm, caring, and safe container to do the work needed. I found them to be extremely passionate and excellent teachers and guides with this process. I look forward to experiencing more Family Constellations Therapy Workshops with them. Here's to being unlimited!
