IN PERSON IN FERNTREE GULLY, MELBOURNE & ONLINE WORLDWIDE

We inherit more from our families than names and traditions. Ways of handling conflict, expressing emotion, keeping the peace or carrying responsibility can quietly pass from one generation to the next.

Research into intergenerational trauma suggests that the effects of trauma can be passed down, even to descendants who had no direct involvement in the original events. What gets passed on can include emotional narratives, beliefs, survival defences and ways of seeing the world.

Ancestral healing creates space to consider which parts of your family story still shape your life. It honours where you have come from, understands what you have carried, and gently releases what no longer belongs to you.

Your Ancestral Healing Session

Your session begins with the family theme, relationship, or experience that feels most relevant to you. You do not need to know your complete family history or arrive with a clear explanation of where the pattern began or even what the pattern is.

Kristy uses shamanic journeying, imagery, ritual, or energetic practice to engage with the ancestral material that arises from the ancestral layers of the psyche. Ancestral karma is where the descendants can live out the attitudes, inclinations, habits, trauma, life struggles, strengths, and breakthroughs of their ancestors who walked before them.

Kristy helps clients break the cycle of old patterns, so that healing can begin within themselves and ripple out to their families and the generations that follow.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate.”

- Carl Jung

The focus remains on your relationship with the family story rather than judging or assigning blame to previous generations.

Ancestral Healing in Melbourne | Session Details

Kristy offers shamanic ancestral healing at her Ferntree Gully practice and online through Zoom.

Ancestral healing recognises that the experiences of your ancestors, including the trauma they endured, can be passed on from generation to generation. Ancestral legacy issues can be a weight that keeps you stuck, anxious or lacking direction. When something is silenced, suppressed, or unresolved, it doesn’t disappear––it seeks expression. Historical trauma may be preventing you from healing, thriving, and living the life of your deepest desires.

A Shamanic Perspective

Within Kristy’s practice, ancestry can carry both difficulty and strength. Family lines may hold unresolved pain, but they can also carry wisdom. Generational trauma healing meets the family story with compassion while recognising that honouring your ancestors does not require you to continue every pattern they passed down.
