✨ Happy Birthday to TFSH’s main woman, Helen! ✨

We’ve officially hijacked the account to sing the praises of our favourite Capricorn.

Founder extraordinaire, devoted mama, endlessly insightful mentor, joyful and grounded Play Therapist, enigmatic friend… somehow she does it all. And she does it fully: showing up to each role like it’s the only one that exists.

A true Capricorn queen, Helen leads with passion, heart, and just the right amount of fire - holding the team with deep compassion while gently (and sometimes firmly) nudging us toward our highest potential. Never letting self-doubt run the show.

We feel wildly lucky to work alongside her, and even luckier to call her a friend. Happy Birthday, Helen! Here’s to bountiful chocolate, a dreamy beach walk, and endless squeezes from Farrah. We love you! 💛✨

Family Constellations is a powerful, experiential way of seeing the hidden forces that shape a family system. Instead of zooming in on one person, it opens a wider lens - revealing how belonging, loyalty, and the echoes of past generations influence our behaviour, relationships, and emotional wellbeing.

This approach has deeply informed the work of Alejandra, a highly respected facilitator and pioneer in the field. Her journey began in 1999, when she trained directly with Bert Hellinger, the founder of Family Constellations. Today, with more than two decades of experience, Alejandra is recognised as a leader whose presence and insight transform the spaces she enters.

And now, for the first time ever, Alejandra is coming to Australia in 2026.
We are beyond excited to welcome her for an immersive two-day seminar designed for therapists, allied health professionals, and systemic practitioners AND a Family Constellations Group Session in Sydney (open to the public). This is a rare, possibly once-in-a-lifetime chance to learn directly from a master in the field.

Curious about her journey and the depth of her work? Read the full blog via the link in our bio.

For many families, December carries both celebration and sorrow, both excitement and pressure. Overwhelm has a way of slipping in at the edges of holidays - through full calendars, complicated relationships, or expectations that feel heavier than they look. And for some, old grief can mix with the rush of the season in ways that are hard to name.

If your heart feels a little out of sync with what’s happening around you, may you feel permission to move gently, to take what you need, and to leave the rest.

Sometimes the simplest act of naming what’s here can be grounding. Saying - out loud or quietly to yourself - “This is overwhelm” or “This is sadness” or simply “This is a lot” doesn’t make the feeling bigger; it often makes it easier to hold. Naming gives shape to the swirl inside. It lets your body know you’re listening, and it can bring a small moment of steadiness in the midst of everything.

If this season brings both warmth and heaviness, both joy and too-muchness, may you treat yourself with the same gentleness you’d offer someone you love.

This February, something truly transformative is coming to Sydney: our first-ever Family Constellations event. And this session will be led by one of the master facilitators of the field: Alejandra Pistorio.

Alejandra studied directly under the founder of Family Constellations, Bert Hellinger, and has since developed her own compassionate, insightful approach by bringing warmth, clarity, and deep transformation to every session. Joining us from Argentina, Alejandra will lead this exclusive full-day experience offering a chance to step into a space of healing and discovery.

Join a community of like-minded souls for a day of connection, release, and forward momentum. Together, we’ll uncover the patterns holding us back and move beyond them, empowered and renewed.

Tickets available now on our website.

Good listening is harder than it often seems. In tense or urgent moments, we may think we’re listening - but often, we’re just waiting for our child to finish talking so we can respond and move on. This isn’t just a parenting challenge; many adults fall into the same pattern in friendships, partnerships, and at work.

Truly listening takes intention and practice. It means quieting your inner thoughts, staying fully present, and focusing on what the other person is actually saying. Reflecting back what you hear helps confirm that you’ve understood their message. This simple practice can reduce conflict, build trust, and create space for genuine connection.

When you really listen to your child, you’re saying - without words - “You matter. I see you. I understand you.” Kids don’t just need instructions or solutions—they need to feel heard, just like adults. Listening well isn’t just a skill; it’s the foundation of understanding, connection, and trust.
