As a trauma therapist with 30 years of familiarity with Dr. Bert Hellinger’s Family Constellation work, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing profound, cathartic healing in individuals navigating seemingly insurmountable family ruptures. One of the most powerful — and often surprising — aspects of this approach is that meaningful change in family dynamics does not require all parties to be in the room.

That’s where Jill Bevington comes in.

Jill is not only one of my dearest friends and Camino walking partner — she is an exceptionally gifted Family Constellation practitioner. Over the past few years, I’ve referred many of my clients to her with complete confidence. She works with equal skill and sensitivity both online and in person, meeting each person exactly where they are.

I can also speak from personal experience. Through my own sessions with Jill, I found genuine inner resolution around one of the most painful chapters of my life — an estrangement from my beloved son that took root during Covid. Her approach is loving, wise, and deeply skillful.

If you are carrying a wound that feels too old, too complicated, or too broken to heal — I encourage you to reach out to Jill. She is the real deal.

Love ya, Sistah!

It may seem odd for me to write a testimonial because I’m Jill’s husband.  And I know I’m biased... I come from a lifetime of conservative, Quaker, rural background. Jill came to me late in my life from a very different background. I observed in her an honesty and dedication to the truth, not rooted in dogmatism or social custom. She defies some social norms because of the clarity of her vision. She is kind, of the variety that comes from a good heart, yet she puts up with no bullshit. She is a searcher, first to find her own way and then to help others find theirs. One of her favorite says is “We are all just doing the best we can.” So, no matter where you are on your journey, she will meet you there.

Every day since working with Jill, I feel immense gratitude as a weight was lifted from the relationship with my daughter, present since her birth. Now, in her teenage years we experience life more freely and in harmony, the previous inexplicable tension gone, replaced with more alignment and ease. I honestly feel as if we had rebirthed our relationship from a more loving, patient, and happy place.

I met Jill on an Island. And got to know her in the waves of the Atlantic. Everything about Jill's presence made me feel held and witnessed. The weightlessness of our bodies floating in the salt water and her genuine curiosity and depths for deep care and understanding had me divulging things about myself, telling my story in a way I’d never honestly said out loud before. She has a way about her that is so soft and accepting and non-judgmental. To me, the qualities Jill exudes are exactly what I would need in endeavoring on a journey of ancestral and self discovery. 

Jill’s gift lies not only in her work, but in the quality of presence she brings to every interaction. She holds space with the warmth and tenderness of a loving mother—gentle, accepting, and deeply nurturing. Her presence feels like a warm and safe cocoon, thus making it easier to soften, let go, and reconnect with the inner child. In a world where so many people move through life carrying unmet emotional needs from childhood, this kind of healing is more important than ever. Beneath the responsibilities and appearances of adulthood, many of us still carry an inner child longing for safety, acceptance, understanding, and unconditional care. Jill has a remarkable ability to tend to those needs with compassion and grace. Her presence creates an environment where healing can unfold naturally, allowing deeper layers of the self to feel supported, nourished, and, ultimately, grow. Those who feel like there is something missing in their lives, that they cannot even name, and will find in Jill a place where their weary souls will be able to settle down.

I have worked with Jill as a practitioner in several healing modalities such as Family Constellation, Rebozo, and Reiki. During all these sessions I felt very supported and heard. Jill was attentive to checking in with me physically, mentally, and emotionally during our time together. I feel she has played an important role during my healing journey.
