For two years I had the privilege of working with Christo Norden-Powers on my company’s major cultural change program. Professional consultants have impact. Christo has much more than that; he has the capacity to work with people in a way that works for each individual, empowers each person and achieves results very quickly. My personal & professional development as a human resources practitioner gained from working with Christo has been more than in my entire career in this field before that. Without hesitation he has my highest recommendation.
I’ve used the MasterProcess extensively in my company. It is the most powerful and useful tool I’ve ever seen for empowering people to solve problems and take action. It’s a brilliant communication tool. I have also used the MasterProcess for nearly 10 years as a change tool in my company. It is a brilliant process for turning resistance to change into a positive, proactive commitment to change. In my experience it has no equal.

While facilitating a Constellations workshop in mid 2018 coincidentally, she had 4 lawyers, someone in government in child protection and a couple from Brazil.
At lunch the conversation turned to how Constellations was being used in the legal system in Brazil.
This sparked a flame in Edwina with no idea where this might lead. With a passion for the work of Constellations and for change on a global scale she started the conversations.

Coming from a background in clinical psychology it became clear that most issues clients bring are NOT rooted in individualistic constructs or paradigms. Family constellations was the missing link I was looking for, it is a systemic approach to resolving a client’s issues by focusing on situating their dis-ease, or, disconnections in the family or social system, and embedding healing in one’s nervous system.
Edwina is a skilled compassionate facilitator who understands and works systemically with whatever issue(s) a client brings. Working with her has been deeply revelatory and healing in my own core family wounding in ways inaccessible through traditional therapeutic modalities.

Edwina is a highly compassionate and skilful facilitator. I experienced unexpected benefits from this process, and as a lawyer, I see how it could be of great assistance to those experiencing family breakdown. That said, I highly recommend this process to everyone, as ancestral issues affect us all in some way.
