Constellations and all that...

Born and bred in Johannesburg, Bubbles was the second of four children and grew up in a multicultural and multilingual family. Her mother travelled with her to Belgium when she was just six months old, so French was her mother tongue. It seems fitting that her professional life followed a similarly diverse path.

Bubbles trained in psychoanalysis, studying the work of British psychoanalysts including Melanie Klein, Donald Winnicott, Douglas Fairbairn, Marion Milner and Ronnie Laing. She later trained in Gestalt therapy in America, Tomatis Music Therapy in Paris, and Constellation Therapy in Germany.

In this episode of Constellations and All That, Tracy sits down with Bubbles to explore the many paths that have shaped her life and work, her move to New Zealand at 82, and what has kept her curious, engaged and continuing to work with people throughout her life.

They also talk about relationships, expectations, and the deeper meaning behind I take you as you are” — allowing ourselves and others to be who we truly are, without needing them to be different for us.

This conversation also connects beautifully with Bubbles’ upcoming two-part online exploration, Liberation: “I Take You As You Are”, taking place on 14 & 21 October 2026, 7–9 pm NZT. She'll explore expectations, needs and projections in relationships, taking responsibility for our own needs, and how acceptance can create greater freedom. Both sessions will be recorded.

In this episode of Constellations and All That, Tracy Cartwright sits down with Andrea Lehmann to explore her journey into Family Constellations. Born in Australia and raised in Switzerland, Andrea grew up with a deep connection to nature and the outdoors before travelling and eventually making New Zealand her home. Her grounded, nature-connected approach continues to influence the way she works.

Andrea shares her deeply intuitive approach to Family Constellations and why she doesn't see the work as something that needs to be rigidly planned. They talk about what it means to slow down, listen to the body, notice what is present, and allow the process to unfold.

The conversation also explores the importance of community and belonging, the surprising ways nature and animals have become part of Andrea's constellation work, and why she believes we heal in community rather than isolation.

Tracy and Andrea also talk about one of the biggest lessons in facilitation: it's not our job to fix people. Sometimes the work is about seeing something differently, finding resources, and taking only the next step that is ready to be taken.

A warm, honest and sometimes wonderfully funny conversation about intuition, community, nature, resourcing, learning and trusting the field.

What happens when we begin to listen not only to our minds, but to our bodies, our hearts and the stories carried through our lineages?

In this beautiful conversation, Tracy Cartwright chats with Aleksandra Shymina, who has been practising Family Constellations personally and professionally since 2013. Her work has expanded through classical constellations, Systemic Ritual, shamanic work and transpersonal psychotherapy, with a deepening focus on our relationship with ancestors and the wisdom held within our lineages.

Aleksandra shares how her own journey into ancestral healing led her to Family Constellations, what the work taught her about trusting the intelligence of the body, and why she sees healing as something that can ripple through generations.
They explore ancestral pain and wisdom, belonging and exclusion, resourcing before intervention, heart wisdom, meditation, relationships, giving and receiving, and the possibility of becoming more conscious of how we influence those who come after us.

A thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation about tending to what has been forgotten, listening more deeply, reconnecting with our bodies and ancestors, and considering what becomes possible when we attend to ourselves and our lineages.

In this episode of Constellations and All That, Tracy Cartwright sits down with family constellations facilitator and spiritual coach John Harold Moore for a wide-ranging conversation about family patterns, inherited stories, the knowing field, and the possibility of seeing our lives differently.

John shares how he first discovered family constellations in 2012 and how an experience in his very first constellation changed the direction of his life.

John also shares a deeply personal story about his grandmother and the shame he felt he had inherited, as well as a powerful constellation experience involving his father that helped him reconnect with a different memory and a different possibility around being fully himself.

The conversation also moves into the mysterious experience of the knowing field, trusting what unfolds rather than trying to control it, and learning to release our attachment to how we think things should happen.

And then there's John's wonderfully unexpected story about his seven years performing at Walt Disney World and how that experience helped a painfully shy person become comfortable standing in front of hundreds of people.

At the heart of the conversation is a beautiful question:

What if we could tell a different story about what happened to us and move forward from a different place?

A warm, honest and sometimes funny conversation about family, belonging, memory, healing, trust and the stories we choose to carry.

Listen in and see what resonates for you.

In this conversation, Tracy Cartwright is joined by Karin Dremel, M.T.S., a systemic traumatologist and heart-centred systems constellator, for a rich exploration of trauma, Family Constellations, embodiment and the many systems that shape us.

Karin brings decades of embodied, somatic and systemic work to the conversation, drawing from her experience with developmental and inherited ancestral trauma, Somatic Experiencing®, Hakomi, Rolfing®, Family Constellations and interdisciplinary studies. Her approach is grounded in what she describes as systemic imagination, trauma-sensitive presence and radical hospitality.

Together, Tracy and Karin explore “withnessing” what happens when we truly stay present with another person's experience, as well as nested trauma and the way our experiences can be shaped not only by our family, but by our early development, culture, institutions, history and larger systems.

Karin also shares her beautiful metaphor for trauma work: darning.

They talk about early developmental trauma, the parts of us that need protection and nourishment, finding the strong places we can anchor into, and how the resources of the present can help us meet what happened in the past.

A thoughtful and deeply human conversation about trauma, Family Constellations, connection, and the possibility of creating a new fabric from what has been torn.
