Embodied Soul Healing

01/12/2025

This is a picture of some of my Ancestors on my Mum's side. My Granny and Grandad's wedding, with some of my Great Grandparents, Great Uncles and Aunts.

In this lineage infants and children died too soon, brothers divided during the Irish Civil War, there were secrets, abandonment, excluded children, schizophrenia, and so much grief. That's only what I know.

Schizophrenia passed down the line, my eldest brother it's recipient. I guess that is one of the reasons I was drawn to this work. A terrible ache in my family, my mother's grief & the fracturing darkness of madness.

I spent years trying to heal my family, trying to find help for and heal my brother. I banged my head against the wall of the healing world for so long. It took me until I was nearly fifty to realise I cannot heal anyone else, I can only heal myself.

I always thought I was ok. I wasn't ok. Finally I turned my gaze toward me. I have been witnessed and held by my group and my facilitator & teacher Roisín Fallon. I have sobbed and I have railed and I have felt completely lost, unanchored, unable to function and carry on with the business of life. I have at last seen what has always been there, buried under the facade of "oh I'm grand, no need to worry about me" as I continued to be hyper vigilant to everyone else's needs, completely bypassing my own. Underneath, a lost child abandoned by herself over and over.

I have sat in many groups over the years. We humans are all the same. Even the ones who look like they have it all sorted. No-one has it all sorted. We all ache, we rage, we despair. We bravely carry on with the business of the day whilst at times inside our heart is breaking, our Soul is lost. I am so grateful for this work, for my mentors and teachers, and for my fellow humans who seek the truth, with heart.

I have a Family Constellation day on this coming Saturday December 6th, if you would like more information, or to book a place, please see my website www.earthsoulyoga.com. Or you can message me here or contact me at 0857617258.

Some feedback from clients who came to my first Family Constellations Workshop. I was really blessed with a beautiful group of women who were warm, open and encouraging. I'm running another day workshop on December 6th. If you are interested you can PM me or contact me at 0857617258. A gentle reminder you don't have to do your own work. We can find resonance with our own stories in witnessing and in representing. The field provides for everyone. So if you are curious, but nervous of diving right in, coming for the experience will offer its own gifts and insights.

I choose trees to represent Family Constellations because they mirror the way humans are connected. In a forest, each tree stands in its own space, yet beneath the surface an unseen network of mycelium allows them to communicate, share nutrients, and support one another. What appears to be a collection of individual beings is, in truth, a living system of relationship and exchange.

As humans, we too, live within networks that are largely invisible—emotional bonds, unconscious loyalties, and inherited patterns that live beneath the surface of our awareness. These connections come from our families, our parents, and the generations that came before them. Much like the roots and fungi beneath the forest floor, these inherited dynamics quietly shape our responses, our identities, and the way we move through the world.

From our lineage we inherit tremendous gifts; strength, resilience, creativity, & wisdom. We also inherit trauma; unresolved grief, patterns of fear, or burdens that were never ours to carry. These pass down not because anyone intended it, but because what remains unacknowledged in one generation often seeks expression in the next, as if life itself is urging the system toward equilibrium, a sort of Cosmic Order we have yet to fully understand.

Family Constellations invites us to reveal these underground networks. It helps us see what lives below the surface—what has been absorbed, entangled, or carried across generations—and in doing so, it offers us the possibility of healing. A forest thrives when its ecosystem is healthy and interconnected, we flourish when we understand our place within our family system and bring light to what has long remained unseen.

If you are curious or feel called to this work I invite you to join me for a Family Constellation Day. You’ll have the opportunity to witness and participate in family constellation work as we gently move with whatever emerges in the Circle

No experience necessary, you are welcome to join exactly as you are and to move at your own pace.

Saturday December 6th, 10am to 5pm Wildwood Studio, Bandon, Co.Cork. Investment €70. Limited spaces – Book online at www.earthsoulyoga.com or contact me at 085-7617258 to reserve your place or if you have any questions of queries.

Embodied Soul Healing, Yoga, Somatic Movement, Circle Work, Family Constellations, Somatic Alignment Bodywork & Trauma Release

I received a text asking me about my training and experience in facilitating family constellations. If you are considering walking this path alongside me, then you might like to know too.

I began training in Family Constellations in 2019, first with Brendan and Eileen O’Brien in Cork. If memory serves, it was a six-module training — each module lasting three days over six months.

In 2022, I went on to complete a Foundation Training with Roisín Fallon, which included ten four-day modules and guest teachers such as Stefan Hausner, Barbara Morgan, and Liam Mac Gabhann.

Since then, several of us from that group have formed an advanced practice group under Roisín’s supervision. We hold four three-day practice weekends each year and have just completed our second year, with plans to continue into a third year.

I bring over ten years of experience in holding space for groups through yoga, somatic movement, and iRest meditation, including retreats and longer workshops. My embodiment practice has become a deep source of guidance for me — it helps me stay connected to myself, to the field, and to what is emerging moment by moment.

I’ve been engaged in personal development and inner work for over thirty years, and I also completed a year of training in Integrative Psychotherapy.

I’m offering this day at a reduced introductory rate, as it marks my first step in bringing this work more fully into the world. I still remember teaching my first yoga group — I didn’t breathe much during that class. Not very yogic at all. But I learned early on that the practice itself has its own intelligence and power.

That’s what I’ll be leaning into here — the wisdom of embodiment, the support of the field, and the trust that what wants to unfold will do so in its own time and way.

There are 4 places left. The workshop is on Saturday November 1st, Wildwood Studio, Crossmahon, Bandon, from 10am to 5pm. If you'd like to book your place, please contact me at 0857617258, or you can book online at www.earthsoulyoga.com.

Family Constellations Introduction Day

10/09/2025

Family Constellations, How does it work, what to expect. I read once that it is a 'therapy beyond words', and that feels true. Here I do my best to explain how it works and what to expect and I address some fears you may have about doing this work. I also made a mistake, the term the 'knowing field' is credited to Albrecht Mahr, a German Constellator. It was Rupert Sheldrake, (not Franz Rupert 🙈), who related it to the 'morphic field', these carry patterns of memory and information across space and time. Perhaps another video for that one 😄 I also question my choice of Healing sentences that I chose as an example. I guess at the time I was just really struck by how both could be so true when I witnessed them in Constellation. The deep anger for mother and yet the longing that a child always has for mother. If you have any questions please post in the comments, or if it feels private Pm me here. If you missed my last post I am running three Introduction to Family Constellation days between now and Christmas. If you interested you can find more information on my website www.earthsoulyoga.com.

Cheeky pic of my Puppy Love Poppy.. though somewhat relevant as she is posing on my mat 😁 She does a lovely demo of downward dog for me every morning when I roll it out 😍 So this is the timetable so far. Somatic Classes will start on September 16th and Yoga will start on September 22nd. They will run in six and five week terms respectively. All based in Wildwood Studio, Crossmahon, Bandon. Some classes are half full already so if you want to be sure of a mat please do contact me soon. You can PM me here or contact me at 0857617258. For those curious and interested in Family Constellations, those dates, (a Saturday each month) will be out in the next few days. For more information on any of the above please see www.earthsoulyoga.com. It has been a drudge through the mud kind of feeling for me this year. September is bringing something lighter. I can feel it in the air and I gently hope. I am betwixt and between putting on an evening yoga class… I am wondering what the vibes are .. it would be a Monday at 6.30pm or maybe a Wednesday same time 🙈🤣 (I’m Libra rising for anyone astrologically inclined, indecision is my lived experience nearly all of the time ). If that’s something that sparks your interest please let me know. Thanks 🍃🙏🏼

So this is what I have been at mostly….Resting. 2025 has been a rough one. I had mentioned I might put on some Workshops or mini Retreats over the Summer … but to be honest I needed to Retreat. I needed to rest and restore. I could see some folks were checking in to see what was happening.... if you were one of those, Thank You. I will be posting soon with a schedule of upcoming Classes, Family Constellation Intro days and a ten week course in Meditation, Nervous System Awareness a Support, Embodiment and more.
If you are interested in my work you can check my website for more, www.earthsoulyoga.com. Thank you 🍃 Or if you have any questions or enquiries you can PM me here or contact me at 0857617258
