About Vanessa Amaral
I am a certified Family and Systemic Constellations therapist. With a background in Nursing and Transpersonal Therapy, I promote a safe and supportive space for exploring your relational dynamics and how they shape your life.
I am a Portuguese nurse with over 12 years of experience in the Operating Room Department. My professional path began in Healthcare, where I learned not only about the human body but also about the importance of caring for others, guiding teams, and working under challenging and high-pressure situations.
​
My own journey of physical and emotional healing led me to a deep self-discovery process—one where the more I learned, the more I felt called to explore. I trained as a Transpersonal Therapist at the Portuguese School of Transpersonal Development and became a certified meditation teacher during my travels abroad.
​
When I encountered Family Constellations, I experienced a profound shift. I found a deep sense of peace with my own family history and, for the first time, could truly say: I accept it. That acceptance became the doorway to a more peaceful and fulfilling life.
​
I studied Family Constellations at the International Family Constellations Training Institute, learning from internationally renowned teachers such as Svagito Liebermaster, Bertold Ulsamer, Judith Hemming; Jane Peterson, and Elena Veselago. I have also attended workshops with experts like Stephan Hausner, Anngwin St Just, and Ingala Robl, continuing to expand my understanding of this transformative work.
​
As a nurse, I have long cared for the body. Through Family Constellations, I now also support the healing of the soul—helping people move from pain toward peace and wholeness. I approach this work with deep responsibility and humility.
Family Constellations aren't a magic trick, but rather a mirror and a window—offering a view into our inner world and the dynamics of our family systems. With this insight, we gain the awareness and strength to make conscious choices that lead to healthier, happier, and more fulfilling lives.

SERVICES
I offer individual sessions, group constellations, and themed workshops, each designed to meet you where you are in your journey of healing, clarity, and connection.

1:1 Individual Sessions
Perfect for those who prefer a private, focused space:​
-
Explore your issue in depth without the presence of a group.
-
Follow-up work after a group constellation, to go deeper into a theme.
-
A gentle introduction for those curious about Family Constellations but not yet ready for the group setting.
In individual sessions, we use figurines as representatives, and sometimes guided visualisation exercises.
You remain actively engaged in the process, guided step-by-step to uncover hidden dynamics and possibilities for resolution.

Group Constellations
A powerful collective experience where we work within a supportive group:
-
Participants may join as clients (also called issue holders, whose family system will be constellated) or as representatives only (stepping into roles within the constellation).
-
As a client, you may at times be an observer while the facilitator and representatives bring your constellation to life.
-
As a representative, you contribute to another’s process while often gaining unexpected insights into your own life.
Group constellations often create profound shifts—not only for the client, but for everyone present.

Workshops
Immersive designed programmes for those who wish to dive deeply into a particular life theme, blending:
-
Opportunities for participants to have their own constellation
-
Individual and group exercises for embodied insight
-
A foundation in Family Constellations theory.
Even if you don’t have your own constellation during the workshop, you will still gain valuable personal insights from the shared process.
Workshop topics I currently offer include:
-
The Mother Wound
-
The Father Wound
-
Money & Prosperity
-
Love & Relationships
-
Illness & Constellations
