There comes a point in life when “Please see me” is no longer the plea, and “I am here.” becomes the stance. When another’s approval no longer interests you or has a grip on your heart. When another’s permission to exist, to take up space, or to shine bright, although appreciated, is no longer your desire or purpose. When your essence and the need to express it has more weight than the perseveration about how you will be received. When “I am” is enough and through simply being, seeing happens from within.
This is often the point when as therapists, healers, artists, entrepreneurs, or facilitators, we shift from pursuing another to “give us our place” and begin the systemic work of “taking our rightful place” – be it in relationship to ourselves, our life purpose, our relationships with loved ones, or our work in the world.
We are born with creative life force that holds the exact ingredients to fertilize, tend, and grow the seeds that only our soul can water and only the conditions of our life can bring to flower. Each one of us, whether we are awake to it or not, have creative ideas, projects, or initiatives that seek to be realized in and through us. Too often, fear and conditioning stand in our way.
Whether we are crafting a program, writing a website, launching our services, wildcrafting herbal medicine, writing a book, telling a story, navigating a canvas or exploring the landscape of the heart, we are a portal and conduit of our own lifeforce that echoes forward. We must ask ourselves, do I have the courage, audacity, and soulful confidence to say “yes” to the seductive ideas coursing through my imagination, waking me in the night, and knocking on the doors of my heart in synchronistic moments throughout my days? And will I fully show-up to these movements?
People come to us at “Seeing with Your Heart” to clear blocks, to be seen, to be heard, to be known, to have love. Through intergenerational systemic processes, the field of consciousness opens, and ancestral entanglements transform, allowing the person to experience a restored sense of belonging to their own being. A stance of “I am enough” finds its place.
Enrollment is open for the next Seeing with Your Heart Alchemical Constellations Training and Facilitator Certification. This 12-month journey of transformation will deepen your self-awareness, strengthen your intuitive perception, and fuel your capacity to stoke the deepest passion in your heart while exploring ancestral wisdom and spirituality. Since 2013, Seeing with Your Heart founders Emily Blefeld and Dan Cohen have helped thousands of individuals to untie the tangled threads of past generational sorrows, free themselves to live into the possibilities of spontaneous creation, and expand their lives, healing practices, and work with constellations.
Through the year, you will declare your most ambitious goals and deepest desires and be continually confronted by the opposition to their fulfillment that resides in your cellular memory. Loyalty to old generational patterns of self-sabotage keep you entangled with the past. Alchemy is the unifying principle that finds the origins of what stifles and holds you back to weave them into wholeness with your soul’s evolutionary movement. Everyone who takes this training is ready for the wilderness of freedom to take root in their life. In this way, the training brings into balance inner personal development with external professional training. You will gain your own wisdom in pursuit of your unique purpose, and with Seeing with Your Heart, you won’t do it alone.
If you are ready to understand the unwritten and unconscious ways that ancestral memories impact our everyday lives, we are ready to train you in Alchemical Constellations.
You will look back at this training as a watershed where the weight of the past lifted, the fear of death relaxed, and the present moments filled with more love, creativity, and fulfillment.
In designing the training, we looked carefully at what it really takes to achieve presence, perception, and confidence. When we constellated the question ourselves, we realized to fulfill these objectives we needed various components and leadership support from others. After many months of visioning, our training and leadership team is in place and we are pleased to introduce them and the components to you!
“This training program didn’t just elevate my work in systemic constellations—it transformed how I see myself and the world around me. I fully aligned, having stepped into my rightful place with confidence and clarity.“ – Kit Mejia, Graduate of the Training and Founder of behealable.com

Ginny Vinson nurtures positive change through courage, love, and meticulous attention to the ecology of individuals and organizations. In 2001, in the prime of her life, Ginny was rear-ended by a tractor trailer which left her as a quadriplegic. The life she knew was over, but she soon realized the utility of the two things she had left under her control: her mind and her voice. Like an oak tree, Ginny grew into a powerful, stable being with a benevolent spirit and mind. She is both light and shade, omnipresent for those who seek the wisdom of her insight and the comfort of her compassion.
At the rehabilitation hospital, she learned to advocate for herself, set boundaries, and reframe negative thoughts. She listened deeply for the positive intention behind every exchange to assist the nurses, doctors, and therapists who cared for her. Soon, this made a profound difference in her own life and in theirs. She not only survived the devastating accident but recovered a measure of mobility and learned to thrive despite her physical limitations.
Ginny is the founder of Transitions, a coaching and consulting company which provided seminars, workshops, and personal services. She practiced for 25 years as a facilitator for Family Grief, a program specializing in support for sudden and traumatic deaths. She is trained in many modalities including Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) as a Certified Master Practitioner, Rape Victim Advocacy, Family Constellations with Bert Hellinger, Hunter Beaumont, Lutz Wesel, and others, receiving a Facilitator Certification from Sneh Victoria Schnabel. More recently, she completed multiple programs with Dan Cohen and Emily Blefeld.
Safi Ahmed, MPH, MD, is a physician, board-certified in Family Medicine, Psychiatry and Integrative Medicine with a focus on underserved populations. His career spans roles in DEI advocacy, public and community health, and health equity and justice initiatives, with a commitment to improving health and well-being through compassionate allopathic and holistic approaches.
His practice divides between serving unhoused and unsheltered populations as a family doctor and psychiatrist at a downtown San Diego homeless shelter, where he also provides Street Psychiatry. He also is the Medical Director at Survivors of Torture, International, where he provides psychiatric care for newcomers who have experienced torture abroad and are healing from its effects while beginning new life chapters.
While seeking healing for chronic pain, he stumbled upon his spiritual and mystic heart-centered path, which includes studies in energy medicine, Reiki, Sufism, core shamanism, among other traditions. As a graduate of the Seeing with your Heart Alchemical Constellations facilitator training, he joins the leadership team with a refreshing dose of reluctance. “I have no idea what I’m doing on the leadership team as I have minimal experience facilitating constellations.” Safi follows his hesitation and doubt, with these inspiring words, “AND I hope to be walking with ACT members and alumni on their journey back to their hearts, unlocking ancestral wounds as well as ancestral gifts and resources. I hope to hold and bear witness to your process, my process and our collective process towards unfolding and evolving consciousness. I am a voice and conscience for justice, weaving with light and dancing with shadow, seeing and calling awareness to the unseen, the forgotten, the unnamed, the marginalized.”
Deborah Doyle, LMT has dedicated over 30 years to practicing bodywork as a Licensed Massage therapist. She is a Reiki Master, graduate of Byron Katie’s School for The Work, and a student of Dr. Michael Shaffer DC whose training centered on the subtleties of perceiving vital spaces around and within us. Through her years of professional practice, Deborah developed a keen awareness of the relation between stuck emotional patterns, both lived and inherited, and physical symptoms. Her ability to hold space therapeutically allows for cellular transformation across generations, while her compassionate, open-hearted approach instills an embodied sense of trust.
Deborah was introduced to Bert Hellinger’s work twenty years ago. This started her pursuit of study in the art and practice of Constellations. She attended workshops and seminars in Family Constellations, before coming to Seeing with Your Heart, first with Emily Blefeld’s Empowered Empath and Sage Soul program, and then Dan Cohen’s Science, Myth & Magic Master class. Since 2022, she has belonged to a Seeing with Your Heart Graduates’ class which has evolved into a sort-of innovation lab whose members share their most inspired ideas for human consciousness evolution and test them in the field of Constellations.
As a bodyworker she invites us to bring our energy and attention back into our tissues, blood and neurology as well as our genetics, uniting the current moment in our body with access to our ancestors. Her open-hearted attention to the body and the space around us, allows Deborah to bring forward her deep trust in the future of humanity, and our world, as she allows these aspects of life to touch, see and love one another.

Leo Hamill grew up in Northern Ireland, amidst the turbulence of “The Troubles.” His early life was shaped by the trauma of war, premature loss, grief, abuse of power, and anger. Leaving Ireland, in his adult life, Leo embarked on a profound journey of healing, seeking to reclaim the emotional wholeness and joy often denied to generations of Irish people through centuries of foreign rule. His commitment to confronting his vulnerabilities with compassion, along with his courageous approach to addressing unspoken truths, consistently inspires others to share more deeply and to open to their own paths and hearts to transformation. Leo’s presence is marked by his unwavering support, guiding individuals through the shadowed parts of their hearts until they reclaim their inner knowing.
Leo’s discovery of Systemic Constellation work came after decades of personal healing, including 35 years of sobriety and active involvement in 12-step groups, where he has sponsored others in recovery. Additionally, he has over 30 years of experience in psychodrama groups and training and is currently training in Core Energetics. His primary Constellation training has been with Dan Cohen and Emily Blefeld, and he has also studied with renowned practitioners including Francesca Mason-Boring, Annie Block Pearl, Suzi Tucker, Lucien Schloss, Shavasti, Dragos Riti, and Stephan Hausner. His work has extended to equine constellations, collaborating with Susan Crimmins and Jody Nixon at Lone Trout Ranch in West Colorado, as well as Eric Kolesar and Sally Nilsson at Tula Vida in Costa Rica.
Passionate about the mystery and surprises of the Field, and the sense of community this work fosters, Leo brings his characteristic Irish wit and warm-heartedness to welcome and support those who feel disconnected or alone on this Earth.

Oana Tanase is an alchemist at heart. As a systemic coach and constellations facilitator for the past decade, her evolutionary path has led her to train in systemic and executive coaching, business and family constellations, alchemical constellations and somatic oriented approaches. Her blended approach aims to re-shape the personal “attraction field” so that people live from their radiance and act in resonance with their evolutionary calling.
Oana is an artful teacher of embodiment – bridging the art and science of attuning our biology (our nervous systems) to consciously make sense of the resonance showing up in our bodies. She guides clients to use that as information to support the process of conscious evolution that transmutes ancestral imprints into radiant wisdom in service of Life.
Language, especially poetry, is deeply important to her as “words create worlds.” She teaches people to shape their felt experience into words. The resonant sentences of truth which emerge from the experience of being in a constellation ground and seal new possibilities from the field of potentiality into actualized reality.
