About Me
Hi there! Welcome to Family Constellations for Success. I’m Ilin Shieh, a certified Family Constellations facilitator. I’ve experienced firsthand the profound transformations that this modality can bring, and I’m passionate about sharing it with others. My goal is to bring joy and delight into my clients' lives by offering personalized one-on-one sessions online. Family Constellations has been a huge blessing in my own journey, and I’m excited to help you experience the same breakthroughs and healing. I truly believe in the power of this work and can’t wait to support you in your personal transformation.
What is Family Constellations?
Family Constellations is a therapeutic method that uncovers hidden dynamics within your family system, often rooted in past generations. By identifying these patterns, it helps bring healing, understanding, and resolution to issues such as conflict, grief, and disconnection in your current life experience.
Through guided sessions, you’ll gain new perspectives, release old burdens and entanglements, and restore balance, allowing you to live a more harmonious life. This powerful process can create lasting transformations in relationships and personal well-being.
What are Entanglements?
In the context of Family Constellations, entanglements refer to unconscious bonds or hidden loyalties that we can form with members of our family system, often spanning generations. These entanglements can manifest as emotional burdens, recurring patterns, or life struggles that don’t originate with us but are inherited from ancestors.
We can become entangled out of a deep need to belong or help. For example, if someone's grandfather was excluded for failing in business, they might unconsciously repeat his struggles to stay connected to him. Taking on the responsibilities of another family member can also take them out of their place in the family system, making it hard to flow freely in life.
By recognizing and resolving these entanglements, Family Constellations work to restore the orders of love and allow healing within the entire family system.

How can Family Constellations help?
Often times we take for granted the negative cycles in our lives, and we assign them to fate, coincidence, or our own personal limitations. When in fact, they could have roots in family system entanglements and can be ameliorated, if not completely released, with Family Constellations.
Common issues that may have roots in family system entanglements:
Anxiety and worries that have no apparent source.
Strong moods or emotions that you can't shake.
Nagging impulses, phobias, negative self-talk that hinder wellness.
Weight issues that recur no matter what weight loss methods you try.
Limited success at work and in life no matter how hard you try.
A lack of abundance even with good education - formal or self-help.
The same relationship patterns on repeat despite your best efforts.
Having material success but missing joy and delight.
Also consider:
Do you see yourself mirroring a family member's life story or experience unwittingly?
Did you have a difficult relationship with your mother or experienced an interruption in early bond with her?
Did you reject, judge, or blame a parent?
Were you particularly close with a parent? Or did you reject either or both of them?
Were your parents unhappy together?
Were you adopted or other family members acted as your guardian?

What People Say
I had a powerful and eye-opening experience during our family constellation session. Ilin held the space with so much care and intuition, helping me uncover deep insights about my family and ancestral dynamics. I left feeling lighter, more grounded, and with a renewed sense of clarity. It was immediately transformative and I'm so glad it was none other than Ilin who was taking me through the family constellation discovery journey! -J.L. from San Francisco, CA
I just had the most profound and unique session on Zoom with Ilin, and I’m still in awe of the experience. Through a beautifully facilitated Family Constellation process, we journeyed deep into the subject of abundance — and it wasn’t just about my own beliefs. We travelled all the way back through my ancestral line, uncovering hidden entanglements that had quietly shaped my relationship with abundance.
With Ilin’s intuitive and grounded presence, I was able to see the story behind the story — to honour the past, release what wasn’t mine to carry, and return it with deep respect and love. I’m now leaning into trust — allowing the Universe to align the constellation of my life, and guide me gently toward the abundance that’s already waiting.
Thank you, Ilin, for holding such a sacred space for soul-level healing. This wasn’t just a session — it was a powerful realignment with possibility. -C.T. from Singapore
Common Questions
Are you "channeling" my family system in a Family Constellations session?
In Family Constellations, we're not channeling spirits or acting as mediums. Instead, we're tuning into what’s known as the Morphic Field—an energetic field that holds information about your family system. This field allows hidden dynamics, patterns, and connections to come to light, helping us understand what might be influencing your current situation.
What topics can I bring to a Family Constellations session?
There are no limits to what topics you can bring to Family Constellations. That said, in this modality we observe the workings of phenomenology that allow for the natural movements of healing. So while you may wish to focus on a certain topic and achieve a certain outcome, the field may show us a different approach for the greatest healing for you and your family system.
Can I share and discuss my session with other people?
It is recommended that you not mentally analyze and/or discuss the session with anyone within a month of constellations. This is to allow for the healing movements that have been initiated to continue to evolve with the greatest strength. You may share your experience with others after a month and always with the greatest respect and honor for your family system.
Does Family Constellations replace counseling?
Family Constellations is a powerful therapeutic method that brings insight and healing by revealing hidden dynamics in your family system. While it can create deep shifts, it doesn’t replace ongoing counseling or psychotherapy. Instead, it can complement diverse forms of support by offering a different perspective through which to understand and integrate your experiences.
