FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS

At House of the Valley, we offer Family Constellation sessions in a loving and supportive environment, surrounded by nature.

Just 35 km from Porto.

Break free from limiting patterns

A Family Constellation is a powerful tool that helps uncover hidden dynamics within families and relationships. It's a process that reveals how your family's past influences your present life and helps you address and heal these influences.


How It Works


In a Family Constellation session, we create a "living map" of your family system. Participants take on roles representing family members or key elements of your life. By stepping into these roles, they experience the emotions and relationships as if they were their own. This interactive process brings to light the unseen patterns and entanglements affecting you.

Become the pattern breaker

We believe real change happens when there’s space to go deep. That’s why we offer private, in-depth Family Constellation sessions rather than group formats. In a one-on-one setting, we can give your question the full attention it needs, without distraction or performance. It allows us to slow down, listen closely, and explore the deeper layers of what’s really going on. This approach helps us get to the root of long-standing patterns and create lasting shifts in a safe, supported way.

This is a one-on-one constellation day, fully focused on your question. Without a group, there’s space for depth, privacy, and clarity. With the help of carefully chosen representatives, we bring hidden dynamics to light, whether your theme is personal, relational, or professional.
