Dr. Alison Kerns, naturopathic doctor Welcome to the official page of Dr. Alison Kerns. Explore the healing power of Family Constellations, soul work, and past life regression. (Not medical advice.)

Together, we’ll uncover ancestral patterns and find profound clarity for your soul’s journey. I'm Dr. Alison Kerns — naturopathic physician and Soul Constellator based in Boulder, CO. I work at the intersection of family constellation therapy, somatic experiencing, and past life regression to help people uncover and heal the unseen roots of suffering — physical, emotional, relational, and ancestra

l. My work is rooted in a simple but profound truth: much of what we carry — the anxiety, the patterns, the grief that won't lift — didn't start with us. It began in the generations before us, in the unresolved stories of those who came before. Through family constellations, we make the invisible visible. Through somatic work, we help the body release what the mind alone cannot process. Through past life regression, we reach the deeper layers of the soul's journey. This is medicine for the body and soul — experiential, embodied, and transformative. I offer monthly Family Constellation Circles in person in Niwot, CO, and individual sessions virtually worldwide. If something in you recognizes this work, I'd love to connect. 🌿

Did you know that simply being born gives you an absolute, non-negotiable right to belong, be safe, and be loved? 🌿

In Family Constellations, one of the most fundamental laws of systemic healing is Inclusion. Every member of a family system has a rightful place. But when someone is excluded or silenced—whether due to addiction, trauma, victim-perpetrator dynamics, early loss, or family taboos—the
system falls out of balance.

Unconsciously, children or later generations often carry that unseen heavy burden, living out patterns that aren’t even theirs, just to bring balance back to the family line.

Family Constellations help us illuminate these hidden loyalties, honor those who came before, and bring the excluded back into the heart of the system—restoring peace and easing generations of suffering. ✨

👉 Hit follow for more insights into Family Constellations and how they can bring profound healing to your life.

🔔 Stay tuned: Later this week, I’m sharing a powerful real-life example of how an excluded family member shows up in everyday struggles—you won’t want to miss it!

Perimenopause isn’t just a hormonal shift—it’s a systemic reckoning.

If you’re feeling completely drained, suddenly angry, or emotionally exhausted in your 40s, look closely at where you’ve been over-giving. In Family Constellations, we work with the law of give-and-take. When you spend decades carrying emotional debt, mothering everyone else, or quietly holding your family’s unspoken trauma, your soul eventually reaches a tipping point.

Midlife arrives to tear down those old patterns of over-functioning so you can restore equal exchange in your life. You are not meant to carry what isn’t yours.

Share this with a sister who needs the reminder to come back into balance, and follow along for more guidance on clearing inherited patterns and honoring your soul’s transition.

Ever feel like you’re living out patterns that don’t even feel like yours? 🌿✨

Through the lens of Family Constellations, our daily habits, relationship dynamics, and personal blocks aren’t just individual struggles—they’re often silent loyalties to the ancestral field before us.

When we bring light to what was hidden or forgotten in our family system, we honor where we came from while finally giving ourselves permission to break inherited cycles and step into a lighter, more conscious lifestyle.

PART 2: The truth behind “carrying my grandmother’s rage.” 🌿

If you missed Part 1, go back and watch my last reel!

A perimenopausal client came to me with intense, unexplained rage and anxiety that no doctor or lab work could fix.

When we mapped her Family Constellation, the root cause became clear: she was unconsciously carrying the suppressed midlife trauma and unspoken anger of her maternal grandmother.

Inherited trauma lives in our nervous systems until it is seen, acknowledged, and honored. During our session, we did the profound work of giving that burden back to where it truly belonged in her lineage.

The shift was immediate. Her body stopped fighting a war that wasn’t hers, making space for her to step into her own midlife power.

Your perimenopause story might be deeper than just physical shifts. Sometimes, it’s an invitation to heal the women who came before you.

“I thought I was losing my mind, but it turns out I was just carrying my grandmother’s unhealed rage.”

When perimenopause hits, it’s so easy to attribute every sudden wave of anxiety, unexplained grief, or intense rage strictly to shifting hormones.

But so often, midlife acts as a powerful portal—amplifying the unconscious burdens and unhealed patterns we’ve inherited from the women who came before us.

A client recently came to me feeling completely disconnected from her body, exhausted, and overwhelmed by emotions that didn’t even feel fully hers. Traditional approaches and lab work weren’t giving her the full picture.

The moment we mapped out her family constellation, everything shifted. What was living in her nervous system wasn’t just hers—it was an ancestral story waiting to be seen and healed.

Part 1 of this story is live in the video above. Hit follow so you don’t miss

Part 2 in a couple of days, where I’ll share what we uncovered and how her body finally found relief.

Have you ever felt like the emotions you’re experiencing in midlife belong to something deeper than just your physical body?

A woman sat across from me last week and said, “I don’t know why I’m still so angry at my mother.”
And what I found wasn’t really her anger at all.

She’d done years of therapy. She could tell you exactly why she was angry—the timeline, the reasons, all of it. But when we set up her family constellation, something else showed up.

Behind her mother… was her grandmother. A woman who lost a child young, and was never allowed to grieve her out loud.

That grief had nowhere to go. So it turned into silence.

And that silence turned into distance.

And that distance got handed to her mother—who handed a version of it to her, without either of them ever choosing to.

She wasn’t angry at her mom. She was carrying a grief that was never even hers.

And the second she saw that clearly? Her whole body changed. Her shoulders dropped. She started crying—not sad tears, relieved tears.

Because you can’t fully release a weight you didn’t know you were carrying for someone else.

If you’ve ever felt a reaction that seemed way bigger than the moment… if you’ve ever wondered why you repeat a pattern you swore you’d never repeat…

I want you to consider something: it might not be a you problem. It might be a family system problem. And those don’t heal the same way personal stuff does.

If this is the first time you’re hearing about Family Constellation work—welcome, this is kind of my whole thing.

✨ Comment “FIELD” below and I’ll send you more info on how this work actually happens in a session.

Some things aren’t yours to carry. Let’s find out which ones.

Last night’s Family Constellation Circle was a profound reminder of what happens when we step out of isolation and into a supportive group field.

So many of us try to work through deep patterns, anxiety, or family burdens using just our logical minds.
But our system and our soul speak a different language—one rooted in quiet connection, somatic feeling, and being truly seen by others.

When we gather, we create a container where what has been carried for generations can finally be held, honored, and released together. You aren’t meant to do this work alone.

Thank you to every woman who stepped into the field with us last night. Your presence created real movement. 🙏✨

Ever feel like you’re living a life that isn’t entirely your own? 🌀

Part 2 is here, and we’re digging into why your life might feel like it’s stuck on repeat.

Earlier this week, we asked a massive question about generational trauma. Here’s the truth: when a tragedy or betrayal hits a family, the reaction is often to erase it. The perpetrator is cut off out of anger. The victim is forgotten out of grief.

We pretend they never existed. But the family soul never forgets. 🕯️

When someone is cast out, it creates an invisible vacuum. Generations later, you might unconsciously step into that void—repeating the exact same struggles, patterns, or fortunes without ever knowing why.

✨ The breakthrough?

Family Constellations work isn’t about condoning what happened. It’s about looking into the shadows and saying:

“I see you. You belong. And I leave your fate with you.”

When every piece of the puzzle is finally acknowledged, the system relaxes. The heavy burdens drop. And the cycle stops with you. 🕊️

Drop a 🕯️ in the comments if you’re ready to break the loop.

The loudest voice in your family might belong to someone you’ve never met. 🗣️✨

When a heavy trauma hits a lineage, the family soul reacts. Often, the pain is so overwhelming or the anger is so deep that someone gets pushed out.

The perpetrator is cut off out of judgment.

The victim is forgotten because looking at their pain is simply too heavy.

But family systems cannot tolerate a vacuum.
When we exclude someone from our family history, the system creates an energetic void—and the younger generations are usually the ones who unconsciously step in to fill it. We end up repeating the exact patterns, relationship loops, or burdens of the very people who were cast into the shadows.

So I have a question for you to sit with today: Who is currently missing from your family system because a past victim or perpetrator situation forced them out?

Later this week, I’ll be sharing Part 2 of this series to talk about exactly how we locate these missing pieces, break the unconscious loops, and finally bring them back into the light so the system can relax.

Some patterns don’t belong to us. They belong to the ones who came before. 🌾

A grief unspoken. A name unspoken. A story cut short — carried quietly, generation after generation, until someone finally turns toward it.

Family Constellation work explores who belongs, who’s been left out, and what’s quietly asking to be seen. When we make room for what’s been missing, something in the system settles… and something in us comes home.

You’re welcome in this circle if you’re:
🌿 Feeling the weight of something you can’t quite name
🌿 Curious about the invisible threads shaping your relationships and life patterns
🌿 Ready to witness and be witnessed in a warm, grounded group field
🌿 New to constellation work — or returning for another layer of healing
