SYSTEMIC CONSTELLATIONS
A powerful tool to stimulate healthy changes within a system and enhance the sense of belonging and compassionate relationships.
A New Path to Healing
Systemic constellations can be a meaningful approach to support conflict resolution and healing processes. The approach allows us to surface the hidden, forgotten, denied, or wounded parts that may not be immediately visible when we deal with a specific challenge, struggle, or issue. Systemic constellations help us better understand the internal dynamics of the systems we are part of, to live our lives with more light, openness, and joy.
Each system has a unique purpose and contribution in relation to other systems, and any member or element of a system has a purpose in relation to others, within and across systems. Everyone and everything has a unique purpose and belongs to different systems at the same time.
My story with constellation work
When I was first a representative in a constellation, the experience blew my mind. How is it possible that I sensed and knew what was happening in a system when I didn’t know anything about the case? I was in my 20s, had just finished my PhD, and started to work in the management development department of an international company. The experience shook my perception of the world. I knew what I knew because I had learned it (e.g., Paris is the capital of France) or because I had experienced something (e.g., yesterday my friend visited me). But this was different.
As a representative, I just knew who the most relevant relationship in the system was for me, who I wanted to be closer to, and where the better place for me to stay was. I even knew what the right thing to say was, what was true. How did I know? I was fascinated by this systemic work, but at that time, I couldn’t make any connection to my work in the corporate world. I was working in leadership and organizational development, project management, and innovation. During that time, constellation work was more applied in a therapeutic setting, well known as family constellations.
Years later, after I had already moved to Romania, I met Matthias Varga von Kibéd and Insa Sparrer. Both are founders of the SySt® Institute in Munich, where they teach Systemic Structural Constellations®. This solution-focused and resource-based form of constellations gives us the opportunity to better understand our own and other people’s systems, both in personal and professional contexts. Matthias, who is a professor at the University of Munich, and Insa, a psychologist, describe it as a ‘transpersonal language’ with a clear ‘grammar’. They became my teachers and mentors, and it was the beginning of a beautiful journey of learning and discovery.
co-create a new reality
I learned how hidden dynamics influence our emotions, thoughts, and actions, and how we, as coaches, can co-create a new reality with our clients. I have experienced many times the power of constellations. They help me navigate my life, make decisions in complex and uncertain situations, listen to my intuition, be healthier, and live truly. This is what I also offer to my clients as a coach and sparring partner.

My approach to constellation work
My work is influenced by the SySt® Institute in Munich, where I trained for six years in Systemic Structural Constellations, under the careful guidance of Matthias Varga von Kibed, Insa Sparrer, Steve De Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg, who fascinated me with the respect they showed to the participants. The essence of this approach can be stated as: “The client knows best!”
Through this training and the following countless workshops and advanced training, I came to the understanding that there are a myriad of options that arise, on both an individual and organizational level, when working with this type of systemic constellation.
This method reveals the underlying and often subtle dynamics that influence our behaviors, decisions, and life experiences. By bringing these hidden factors to light, Systemic Constellation facilitates greater understanding and alignment, making it easier to address and overcome obstacles of any kind.
These obstacles can stem from family loyalties, generational patterns, or unconscious beliefs that hold us back. Through constellation work, we bring these deeply ingrained influences to light, allowing individuals to see how past events or unspoken dynamics are affecting their present challenges.
Once these underlying patterns are uncovered, participants can begin to shift their perspectives and approach their obstacles in a new way. By recognizing and acknowledging these hidden influences, they are empowered to break free from limiting patterns, resolve emotional or relational blockages, and make decisions that align with their true goals and values.
This process creates a profound transformation, helping individuals or groups not only to understand their current struggles but to actively address them. Systemic Constellation offers a path to overcoming personal, relational, and organizational challenges, enabling people to move beyond what’s been holding them back and step into a more empowered and aligned future.

I truly recommend this experience to all seeking profound growth, healing and a better understanding of their own patterns.
Deep within us, there are resources that are waiting to surface and to be put to good use. And sufferings that are waiting to be recognized and soothed. This is what I experienced during a systemic constellations retreat facilitated by Petra, who, with incredible care and gentleness conducted the processes of self discovery and healing. I truly recommend this experience to all seeking profound growth, healing and a better understanding of their own patterns.
Petra is a Sage Woman, holding the space with love and wisdom.
I have worked with Petra several constellations, both in groups and individual. For me the results where outstanding in terms of awarness and clarity. For me, Petra is a Sage Woman, holding the space with love and wisdom. I am very grateful for having the opportunity to have her in my life.
