I am a Systemic Constellation Practitioner — working with women navigating significant life transitions. Health crises, chronic illness and menopause: the moments when you've tried everything and nothing has fully landed. The work goes beneath the surface story to what the system underneath is actually doing. I've been doing this for thirteen years; before this I trained in yoga and shamanism. For me, constellation work bridges these worlds — centred in the body yet connected to the greater field of awareness. It changed my own life before I started offering health constellations to anyone else, having gone through a tricky health journey.

​

My training is rooted in the Bert Hellinger lineage, developed through Caroline Ward and Jan Jacob Stam. I work online with women around the world, and in-person here at the quinta — in a small cabin, in the mountains, with no distractions. If you've landed here wondering whether this work is for you, the best place to start is a conversation.

 

 

 

​How I came to be here

I arrived at Quinta das Abelhas in 2017 with more enthusiasm than knowledge. I explored trainings in rewilding, permaculture, food forests and water management. I watched the Portuguese and how they did things — and still felt I knew nothing. It turns out ignorance was good, as the land became my teacher.

​

I watched where the water went after rain. I noticed which plants came and went. I followed the bees. I made mistakes, learned slowly, and made different decisions all the time. I planted trees — not all survived — and witnessed the land replanting itself in ways I hadn't planned for. Nine years in, I'm still watching.

The Course of Curiosity — PARView

After nine years of watching, I realised it had quietly become something worth sharing. The Course of Curiosity grew from the time my nephews spent here — they started the course. Nine holes, nine living systems — soil, water, pollinators, food growing, regeneration and more — each hole asking a question about what human health. 

​

A few minutes' walk from the land there is a dolmen, a burial chamber built by people who understood this valley far better than I do. The Course is, in some small way, an attempt to remember what they knew. I go there to interview people — Down at the Dolmen. Message me if you want to meet there.​

​

The two practices are the same practice

Constellation work and land regeneration turn out to be the same discipline. Both are about what happens when you stop trying to control a system and start paying attention to what it's already trying to become. That's what this place is built on. That's the experiment.

See you in the wild :)
