ACCESS BARS®- WHAT IF YOU COULD CREATE MORE SPACE FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT?

 During the session, you remain fully clothed and rest comfortably on the treatment table. I gently touch a series of points on the head known as “The Bars”. There is nothing you need to talk about, analyse or consciously work through. You can simply relax and receive the session. 

Within the Access Bars® system, the 32 points on the head are associated with different areas of life, including awareness, creativity, communication, relationships, money, control, healing and more. The practice works with the idea that thoughts, beliefs, judgments, decisions and points of view can become deeply familiar patterns that influence how we experience ourselves and our lives.  

Every experience is different. Some people become deeply relaxed or fall asleep, while others may notice warmth, tingling, small movements, emotions, laughter or tears. You may also experience very little during the session itself. There is no particular response you need to have 

You do not need to arrive with a specific issue. However, you may choose to come with an area of your life where you feel stuck, overwhelmed or caught in repetitive thoughts or patterns — such as relationships, work, creativity, communication, money or personal change. 

 No. Access Bars® does not require you to tell your story or verbally process what you are experiencing. If there is something you would like to share before the session, you are welcome to, but it is not necessary. 

 Family Constellation is a systemic approach that looks beyond the individual and explores the wider family system to which we belong. It considers how relationships, roles, losses, exclusions, loyalties and repeating patterns within a family may influence the way we experience our own lives.

The intention is not to blame our family or determine a single cause for what we are experiencing, but to bring a wider perspective to patterns that may be difficult to understand through conscious awareness alone.

 You can bring a relationship, recurring pattern, family difficulty, grief or loss, separation, sense of not belonging, life transition, difficulty moving forward, or another situation that feels significant to you. Sometimes the question is very clear. Other times, you may simply know that something continues to repeat and you would like to understand it differently.

 Within constellation work, an unconscious loyalty describes ways in which we may remain deeply connected to our family through patterns, roles or ways of relating that we did not consciously choose.

For example, someone may notice that certain relationship dynamics, fears, responsibilities or ways of responding seem to repeat within the family. Constellation offers a space to explore these patterns without assuming that every difficulty necessarily originated in a previous generation.

 In an individual session, we may use figures or objects to represent family members, relationships or important elements of the situation you would like to explore.

Their positioning creates a visual representation of the system and gives us another way of observing relationships and dynamics. From there, the constellation unfolds gradually, allowing different perspectives and possibilities to emerge.

 No. You do not need to know your entire family tree or have detailed information about previous generations. We work with what you know and what is relevant to the issue you bring. 

 No. The purpose is not to identify who was “wrong” or responsible for your life. The work invites us to look at the family system with greater awareness and to recognise that people belong to complex histories and circumstances of their own. 

 Family Constellation explores the idea that some of the patterns we experience may be connected to the wider history of our family system.

Research in the field of epigenetics and intergenerational trauma has also explored how significant experiences such as trauma, chronic stress and environmental conditions may influence biological processes across generations. This adds an interesting scientific perspective to the understanding that what happens in one generation can, in complex ways, have effects beyond that generation.

Within Family Constellation, we explore this from a systemic and experiential perspective — looking at recurring patterns, relationships, losses, loyalties and significant events within the family history that may still resonate in the present.

The intention is not to assume that everything we experience comes from our ancestors, but to create space to recognise possible connections and understand our own story within a wider generational context.

  Each session is different. Depending on the approach being used, it may include energy work, intention, guided inner exploration, symbolism, connection with elements of nature or other practices from the systems I have trained in.

Some experiences may be quiet and deeply restorative, while others may invite reflection, emotional awareness or a stronger sense of connection with your inner experience.

 No. You do not need to follow a particular religion or spiritual tradition.

Some of these practices use spiritual, energetic or symbolic frameworks. You are welcome to understand and experience them in whatever way feels meaningful and comfortable for you.

 No. Access Bars®, Family Constellation and Shamanic & Energy Healing are complementary wellbeing practices and are not substitutes for medical diagnosis, psychological care or treatment from a qualified healthcare professional.
