Ancestral / Family Constellations
There is a whisper in your bones, a resonance from generations past, carrying not just burdens, but also profound gifts. You feel it, don’t you? This insistent call to articulate the narratives that live within you, to weave the threads of your experience into a tapestry that demands to be seen, to be read, to be felt.
Perhaps you are a leader, a visionary who has shaped worlds, yet finds your own story, your deepest truths, lingering unspoken. Or perhaps you carry a soul-calling, an undeniable urge to pen the memoir that has long sought its voice — not just for yourself, but for those who will find themselves reflected in its pages.
At Ancestral Narrative, we understand that the journey to authorship is often intertwined with the echoes of history. The writer’s shame, the silencing, the oppression — these are almost always not born of personal failing, but an inherited legacy of unspoken stories and unresolved patterns.
Through the profound wisdom of ancestral constellation work and a Writing with the Ancestors practice, we gently illuminate the hidden dynamics that may be holding your narrative captive.
We create a sacred space where you can engage with your ancestors — not as distant figures, but as active participants in your creative unfolding. This deep healing allows you to shed the weight of inherited trauma and step into the full inheritance of your creative power.
Coupled with a robust, compassionate process for crafting written memoir and non-fiction, and spoken, story-centered non-fiction, we guide you from the nascent spark of an idea to the triumphant moment of publication.
We are here to support you in transforming your deepest stories into books that not only change your life but also contribute to the essential and vital work of shifting of culture at this crucial time in our collective story.
Your healed and helping ancestors also want to speak their wisdom through you. We come together as generations – those passed on, we who are living, and those waiting to be born – to remember and speak our ancient future into existence again. As we remake and take our place with all living beings, and our beloved Earth, we will begin to tell OurStory once more.
This is more than writing; it is an act of reclamation — a profound and healing dialogue between past, present, and future.
Love,
Tanya
Family Constellations Sessions
Dear friend,
After 30 years on a spiritual and healing path, there has been no modality more profound for me than Family Constellations.
I first encountered this work in my mid-40s, and for the last 15 years it has been—by far—the most important aspect of my path. The ancestral piece is so often the missing piece, particularly in Western culture, where healing is viewed as an individual pursuit rather than something that happens within the system of a family.
One of the main differences between a white Western, Judeo-Christian perspective and an Indigenous perspective is this:
Western culture tends to see healing as personal, while Indigenous cultures understand healing as something that happens in relationship to the collective.
Family Constellations radically changed my life.
This work was codified by Bert Hellinger in Germany, but the credit for the work belongs to Indigenous lineages. Bert lived with the Zulu people in Africa for 13 years, and this is where the roots of the work truly come from. This modality aligns with many Indigenous cultures across the world.
One of the core principles of this work is that everyone has the right to belong in the system, no matter what they have done. This does not mean that harm does not need to be addressed—it does. But rather than cutting people out or splitting, constellation work offers a middle way, a path of repair.
The work involves what are called the Orders of Love. When we experience trauma—childhood abuse, parentification, neglect, or other disruptions—these natural orders fall out of alignment. These orders are part of our earth-based heritage, and constellation work is a way to bring them back into harmony.
This work operates through what Rupert Sheldrake calls the morphogenetic field—a deeper energetic intelligence. It’s the same intelligence that allows huge flocks of birds to move together in perfect harmony without direction. We, too, have access to this field when we enter constellation space.
Unlike many constellation facilitators, I do not facilitate groups.
I’ve participated in dozens of group constellations—both in person and online—and I’ve taught and learned so much from them. It is a mitzvah* to represent other people’s ancestors, and I fully support group work.
However, on a personal level, I prefer to work one-on-one.
There is a capacity in private sessions to focus deeply and move much more efficiently—not by bypassing, but by using the time to receive clear, specific, and detailed information directly from the system. In my experience, one-on-one constellations are simply more effective for expedient forward movement. I also integrate adjacent work into my 1:1 constellations including instructions for working with an Ancestral altar and sober magic practices.
*A mitzvah in colloquial terms is a good deed that originates from the heart of our Creator. There is an implication in the word itself that whenever a mitzvah is offered to the recipient, it is also a blessing for the giver.
In the Kabbalists of 16th-century Tzfat, it provided a cosmic healing model. Mitzvot (plural mitzvah) are devices that reach under the hood of the cosmos to repair it, reorganizing it into a harmonious state that is capable of receiving boundless G‑dly light.
If you’re interested in working with me,
there are three ways to do so, outlined below.
These sessions begin with an inquiry—ideally framed as a question—around something you want to shift or change in your life. If you’re unsure how to phrase it, we can discover the question together in the session.
Often, when an issue is ancestral rather than personal, it shows up as something you’ve already tried everything to heal: therapy, spiritual practices, working with healers—yet nothing has shifted.
That is often a clear sign that the issue needs to be addressed at the ancestral level.
These sessions don’t just clear issues—they transform, alchemize, and integrate them back into the system.
- Scarcity patterns
- Health issues (including mental health)
- Communication challenges
- Bonding and attachment issues
- Visibility and being seen
- Hiding, shame, or making yourself smaller
- Addiction
We work through the lens of the entire family system, including—and especially—unhealed, intergenerational trauma.
When this trauma is addressed, the very issue that has brought you to your knees again and again can become your greatest ancestral gift—your most potent medicine, your most brilliant blessing.

“Tanya holds impeccable space that is steeped in the sacred — specifically connected to and deeply held by the wisdom of the land and the helpful ancestors who have come before us. Working with her gave me insight into a pattern I had been operating from since childhood. Once identified, I could feel my system being unburdened by the weight I had been carrying. A subtle release has been occurring since our session, and I feel I now have much greater access to my inner wisdom and higher self. I’ve also been able to set important boundaries with people from whom I had previously tolerated unhealthy behavior. I feel much more inner authority, and life feels a bit easier. I am hopeful for what lies ahead.”

“Working with Tanya Taylor Rubinstein on ancestral constellation was truly transformative. I’ve done ancestral healing for years, mostly focusing on ancient, healed ancestors, but Tanya’s approach focused on the recent ancestors — those still carrying unresolved trauma. During our blind constellation, the focus turned to my father and paternal grandfather, a man I knew little about. Through the process, I gained deep insight into how my father’s relationship with his own father mirrored the struggles I had with him. I also developed a new empathy for my grandfather’s wounds — his anger and criticism of his children — and saw how that energy had been passed down. Most powerfully, I began to recognize gifts from my father I had overlooked before. This work is helping me heal and shift how I move through the world. If you’re ready to heal generational wounds and rewrite family narratives, I highly recommend Tanya’s work. It’s a powerful way to shift old patterns and gain a deeper understanding of your family’s story.”

“It is a rare experience for me to find a collaborator such as Tanya to do my deep work. She has an incredible capacity for insight and the ability to hold space for what is, meeting me exactly where I am. My first constellation session was clear, efficient, and abundant — giving me food for thought that continues to reveal itself. In this crazy world, wondering how one can contribute, working with Tanya in this way feels like its own necessary and important form of activism — for both of us.”
~ Sarah Kerstin Gross (Writer, Business Owner)
“Before the session, I felt overwhelmed by emotional and spiritual heaviness, stuck in patterns I couldn’t break. After the Ancestral Constellations session, I felt a powerful shift — lighter, with an emotional release that wasn’t sad but deeply freeing. The session illuminated my family’s dynamics and the ancestral ties that were holding me back. It was eye-opening and alarming. I’ve noticed lasting changes in my attitude and how I relate to family. I highly recommend this transformative work to anyone ready to heal and move forward in their lives. Tanya is an amazing facilitator, with incredible insight and depth.”
