"Elaine is a powerful facilitator. Her experience with Family Constellation work was clear from the moment I entered the space. During my first time attending and setting a constellation, my nerves were quickly eased by the safe, supportive environment Elaine created. Her ability to recognize ancestral patterns and hold space for deep work is amazing. As someone who’s usually shy in group settings, I was surprised at how easily I opened up because the space felt so welcoming. Elaine’s gift for uncovering family patterns and finding the right words to heal past wounds helped me see blind spots and experience meaningful breakthroughs that were immediately felt after the session. If you’re unsure about attending or setting a constellation, I highly recommend working with Elaine!" — Workshop Attendee, March 2025
“I participated in my very first constellation. While I felt open and curious about how it would unfold, I also acknowledged a sense of hesitancy around what to expect coexisting within me as I entered into the process. Elaine’s presence, insight, and intuition contributed to what I experienced as a safe, supportive and deeply meaningful experience. Elaine offered opportunities for personal growth and beautifully humanizing reflections. In particular, I felt especially grateful for the commitment modeled to lean into challenging experiences, emotions, and thoughts with compassion and courage and to plumb the depths of complexity when it can be so easy to settle for over simplification of what it means to be human.” — Workshop Attendee, March 2025
“I've attended many constellations with different practitioners over the past decade and Elaine has a rare and powerful skill for facilitating this work in a way that is deep and thorough. She creates safety, and in that, the possibility to explore bravely. I've often been struck by the power of her intuition at work in these processes. It's been a joy to learn in circle with her this past year.” — Learning Circle Student, October 2024
“Elaine holds a space that feels safe enough to enter brave space and explore the depths of our inheritances and lineages where we are presented with the privilege of experiencing the deepest compassion of what it means to be a part of the human family.” — Learning Circle Student, September 2024
“I think this is a fabulous way to break through the "stuck" feeling I have been in for the past few years. I started working with a lot of different energy healers over a decade ago and about 4 years ago I hit a wall. I could feel these feelings and see these patterns, but I didn't feel like they were mine. I feel that this therapy has really allowed some of those emotions and patterns to resolve. I am excited to see how this latest session will impact my life. Last time I noticed that I laughed more, and I felt lighter than I have felt in a very long time. This time, I feel like it will be a more subtle, deeper change. I feel like this would be a great way for anyone to look a little deeper into why they do things and for those unexplained emotions that creep upon us for no reason.” — One-on-One Participant, August 2024
“Elaine pours herself into this work and makes sure that everyone has a healing experience. Using mindfulness and continuous insight, each session is transformative and life changing.” — Workshop Attendee, August 2024
“I had only read a little bit about family constellation therapy, and I have heard it described in different ways, so I really didn’t know what to expect. I am very happy to say that I am very excited to have experienced this modality of healing. I feel that I had more of an emotional release in just one session with Elaine than I have had in all my years of traditional therapy. It’s like I could feel the emotions of my loved one, that was powerful. I know I have some more work to do, and I am excited to continue my healing journey. I like that I can do this at my pace and Elaine is very supportive of my process. I recommend anyone to give this a try and see how it will work for you. A lot of times I feel like what I am feeling or experiencing isn’t “mine” and this really resonates with me.” — One-on-One Participant, June 2024
“As a participant of Family Constellations Learning Circle that Elaine Dilley is leading in 2024, I was so impressed with her group work about cancer case. It was a powerful constellation, and it showed very clearly that feminine uterus can hold huge stress from many years ago. And one more time I got an example about two topics that are really connected: uterus cancer is a result of prolonged suppressed emotions after losing a child, even if it was an early abortion. Thank you Elaine! I highly recommend her workshops for everyone who has health problems and family imbalance and wants to be a leader in their life.” — Learning Circle Student, May 2024
“I am definitely sure Elaine Dilley is one of the best facilitators on the West Coast! Her deep, very respectful and gentle style of Family Constellations gave me really great release and understanding of my family life process, released my pain from many years of complicated marriage, gave me hope and opened my heart toward both my sons. I attended many and many Family Constellations workshops and I know how often people can be re-traumatized even with very experienced facilitators. For some years that I know Elaine Dilley as a leader of FC circles - I see the only highest level of mastery in her work. Elaine is not only a healer, she is a very educated and experienced counselor, and I am so happy to attend her groups - even if I need to drive 2 hours to Bellingham and two hours back every time. I deeply recommend Elaine for everyone who wants to harmonize their family relationships, heal their past traumas and open their hearts for a happy and fulfilled life.” — Learning Circle Student, April 2024
“So grateful to be a part of the Learning Circle with Elaine. Her presence and facilitation are top notch. I highly recommend working with this woman! I’m already feeling eager to return to the next session together.” — Learning Circle Student, March 2024
“Family constellations work is unlike any healing modality I've participated in before. It's extremely powerful. And like many things that operate in energy fields, very hard to explain. Attending and participating in someone's constellations is full of emotion and mystery. It seems to always show me things about myself and my own family I need to see. Setting my own constellation with Elaine as a facilitator was life changing. I'd recommend it to anyone.” — Workshop Attendee, February 2024
