Where It All Began

Marine’s own healing journey started at a young age. She had a true desire not only to heal but to understand why she was feeling the pain she was feeling. This led her to study psychology in her homeland of Paris, France.

After graduating with degrees in psychology and communications, she knew there was still something missing. Her studies hadn’t provided the answers she was hoping for. She moved to Miami, and one of her mentors introduced her to Family Constellations, a unique healing therapy developed by a German psychotherapist, Bert Hellinger, in the 1950s.

More than a little skeptical at first, she still decided to commit to a session, and immediately perceived this was the missing link she had been searching for in traditional therapy: the ability to get to the root of the wound in order to understand, heal, own the past, and move forward.

Marine inherently felt this was more than just healing for herself. She wanted to bring this awakening to as many people as possible. She immersed herself into the process with Mark Wolynn, Director of The Family Constellation Institute in San Francisco, as well as studying the method under Suzi Tucker at the Bert Hellinger Institute, before opening her own practice in New York and Miami.

Now, more than a decade later, Marine’s greatest passion is still sharing the transformative power of Family Constellations.

The Why Behind the Work

Our families are our story. For those with known trauma and estrangement from their family, this can be difficult to hear, because usually the last thing they want to do is think about the people that hurt them. They want as much separation as possible. And for those who feel relatively happy and content with their family, it can be difficult to accept generational trauma and how it is affecting their day to day lives.

That is where Marine’s approach creates such a safe space. Family Constellations is not focused on reuniting with your family, it is about reconciling with yourself. The more we push others away, the more we reject ourselves and continue the cycle of previous generations. In giving each family member a place — can be a close or far away place — in our constellation, we stop the fight, we end the cycle, and we become our own sun.

These realizations come from the subconscious, and Marine’s innate ability to recognize her clients triggers and traumas, creates the opportunity to dig up and dissolve unconscious blocks, in order to receive real healing and lasting change.

After just one session, Marine sees an immediate lightness and understanding radiating from her clients. This moment of healing and clarity is why she believes in and continues to do this transformative work.
