Founders of Family Constellations.
Bert Hellinger is probably Europe’s most innovative and provocative psychotherapist and a best-selling psychotherapy author. A former priest and a missionary to the Zulu in South Africa for 16 years, as well as an educator, a psychoanalyst, body therapist, group dynamic therapist, and a family therapist, he brings a lifetime of experience and wisdom to his work. The family constellations, which have become the hallmark of Hellinger’s approach, as well as his observations about systemic entanglement and resolution, have touched the lives of thousands of people and have changed how many helping professionals carry out their own work. Bert Hellinger has written 100 books. Translations of them are available in 30 languages. His work is documented in many CDs, DVDs, Audiobooks and eBooks.
Sophie Hellinger is Bert Hellinger’s wife. As a remarkable man he has a remarkable woman at his side. Only as such she can fulfill, complete and amplify him. The mutually launch themselves together as well as individually into new borders and dimension. They are always in the service of greater all-moving forces. Sophie Hellinger is an extraordinary woman, wife, mother and grandmother. Her many sides and appearances make it difficult to describe her in words. She has been active in the counseling area for already decades. The areas of application of the seminars conducted by Sophie Hellinger really have a
unique characteristic. The powerful and esteeming attention which the clients can experience with her, create confidence in life itself. The people able to deliver themselves to her know how to appreciate her abilities and her open manner. In each case she takes people to their light and shadow side – their integrity. It is an extraordinary event which shows connections that go deeper and beyond the limited mental imagination. She easily transcends barriers and leads into levels of solutions which are alienated from common consciousness. Her knowledge and skill extend from professional career movements to topics on heath, be it psychic or physical, and many other areas of life. Through her unique gift, strengthened by her always present curiosity and openness, paired with experience and enormous knowledge, Sophie Hellinger disposes of an almost eerie-like divination in relation to spiritual, physical and inter-personal suffering. Thus she is able to constantly show us an image which allows and provides inner and external growth within a safe context. To what she connects her potential or from what source she takes her energy is kept hidden to the spectator. Sophie Hellinger passes on her knowledge and skill with great love in the Family Constellation seminars as well as in the cosmicpower-seminars. In these courses the participants make contact with the cosmic energy which initiates, reinforces and accompanies a comprehensive and healing transformation process. Bert Hellinger himself says: “I often stand mesmerized, learning, observing and thankful next to her side.”
The work of Bert and Sophie Hellinger is documented in numerous video and audio recordings in many languages. Working both individually and together, they are always in the service of the highest governing Force.
