Part 2 with Sofia Harris, Senior Child and Family Play Therapist

Children don’t need perfect parents.
They need parents who can come back.
Back to connection.
Back to curiosity.
Back to themselves.

22/06/2026

One of the most fascinating questions in early childhood development is not "What happened?" but "What meaning did the nervous system make of what happened?"

Sofia Harris shares a deeply personal story about her son's birth.

After he was born, she held him briefly before unexpectedly fainting. In an instant, the connection was interrupted and he was placed skin-to-skin with his father until she recovered.

From a medical perspective, everything was fine.

From a nervous system perspective, it invites curiosity.

How do babies experience moments of connection, separation, and reunion? What impressions might these experiences leave, even when no conscious memory exists?

These questions don't lead us toward blame.

They lead us toward greater understanding of human development, attachment, and resilience.

✨ An Evening of Family Constellations with Devi Hernández ✨

As the day comes to a close, what if you gave yourself permission to pause, reflect, and explore what may be influencing your life beneath the surface?

Many of us carry patterns we can't fully explain:

• Repeating relationship challenges
• Feeling responsible for everyone else
• Anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional heaviness
• Feeling stuck despite doing the inner work
• Family tensions that never seem to resolve

Often these patterns are connected to unseen dynamics within the family system.

Join Devi Hernández for a special evening Family Constellations Group Session in Cronulla, where we come together in a supportive and respectful space to explore these deeper connections.

Family Constellations can bring insight to what has been hidden, helping us see our story and our place within it, with greater compassion and understanding.

🌿 Experience the wisdom of the group
🌿 Gain new perspectives on long-standing challenges
🌿 Create space for healing and movement

📍 True Woo Wellness, Cronulla NSW
📅 Friday 26th June
🕔 5 - 8pm

Whether you come with a personal issue to explore or participate as a representative, the experience can be profoundly meaningful.

Spaces are limited and filling quickly.

Children don’t heal in isolation. They heal in relationship.

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of facilitating a Filial Therapy masterclass for members of the Sydney Centre for Creative Change. It was wonderful to spend time with a group of thoughtful and engaged play therapists exploring the foundations of therapeutic play with parents and the transformative potential of the parent-child relationship.

One of the questions we explored was:

What happens when we strengthen the most important relationship in a child’s life?

Filial Therapy invites us to move beyond helping children in the therapy room alone and towards supporting parents to become active participants in the healing process. Through empathy, attunement, acceptance, and therapeutic play, parents can create experiences that deepen connection and strengthen their relationship with their child.

At its heart, Filial Therapy recognises that children live within families and relationships. When we support parents to enter their child’s world with curiosity, understanding, and emotional presence, we create opportunities for change that extend far beyond the therapy room.

A heartfelt thank you to Jacki Short, Founder of the Sydney Centre for Creative Change, for the invitation and opportunity to share this work. It was a privilege to contribute to the learning and reflection of such a dedicated community of practitioners.

Here’s to strengthening connection in families for greater harmony, resilience, and wellbeing.

Today I had the privilege of facilitating my first Family Constellations gathering here on the Bass Coast, hosted by my beautiful friend Julia Tumino in Wonthaggi, South Gippsland.

It was a taster session for people who were new to this work, some curious and some cautious. Yet despite their different backgrounds and life experiences, everyone arrived with something deeply human in common: a willingness to show up, connect, and explore.

The group spanned ages from their 40s through to their 70s, and together we created a beautiful, intimate space where stories were honoured, insights emerged, and something meaningful unfolded for each person.

Witnessing people soften, become moved, and leave with a deeper understanding of themselves and their family system was incredibly touching.

To bring The Family Systems Hub offerings to the community I’ve proudly called home for the past three years feels both exciting and deeply meaningful.

What continues to inspire me about this work is its ability to gently reveal the unseen influences that shape our lives, helping us strengthen our sense of belonging, connection, resilience, and harmony within ourselves, our families, and the wider systems we belong to.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came and to Julia Tumino for creating such a warm and welcoming space and for planting the seed.

If you live in the Bass Coast region, I’ll be facilitating another Family Constellations taster session in Koonwarra on Saturday 19 July. If you’re curious to experience this work for yourself, we would love to welcome you.

Feel free to send a DM or Link in Bio for more details. ❤️

This page found me tonight. I love this beautiful book by Charlie Mackesy.

The older I get, the more I wonder if wisdom is not found in becoming more.

For much of my life, I’ve been striving, growing, helping, healing and contributing. Yet I still find myself grappling with the belief that I need to do more, give more, or achieve more.

I’m still learning that I can keep growing without believing I need fixing. I can keep serving without needing to save everyone, and I can keep contributing without proving my worth.

Perhaps wisdom isn’t found in becoming more. Perhaps it’s found in remembering that who we are is already enough.

I’m still practising that. And perhaps someone else needed that reminder tonight too.

Today we were back in Torquay for another Family Constellations Group Session, and once again we were accompanied by returning friends from the Surf Coast community, alongside new faces who we hope will continue to walk with us as this community expands around this deeply important work.

Together, we connected to the life force that continues to move through us from our ancestors. We touched suppressed grief and anger, reconnected with lost parts of self and witnessed movements towards completing interruptions with the mother.

There were openings towards new possibilities of love, deeper belonging, and the reclaiming of our inner authority.

It continues to move me how much can unfold when people gather with courage, honesty and willingness in service of inner peace, personal freedom and growth, not only for themselves, but for the generations before and after them.

Thank you Devi. I deeply love what we have co created together and continue to create. Thank you for your teachings, your presence, and the wild Argentinian heart you bring into this work.

Thank you to my dear friend Lael, who helped us set up the space and bring some beautiful souls into the group. Your support and heart are felt so deeply. Thank you also to the Surf Coast community for continuing to open your arms to this work and to one another.

You may have done the work. Read the books. Spoken to therapists. Tried to change the pattern. And yet, something still repeats.

The same relationship dynamics. The same emotional weight. The same sense that you are carrying more than your own life.

What if the question is not what is wrong with me but: what is my system still holding?
