Being part of the Family Constellations Certification Program for over a year now has been an incredibly transformative journey for me. Initially stepping into this realm, I had little idea of what to expect, but a strong sense of trust led me forward. And what a journey it has been! One of the most profound aspects of this experience has been the sense of belonging to a community of kindred spirits. Surrounded by like-minded souls who understand me at a deep level, I've found a space where explanations are unnecessary; we simply 'get' each other. This sense of understanding and acceptance has been invaluable in my personal growth journey. I look forward to our monthly sessions because I know that everything that I share will be heard and accepted with grace. . One of the most profound lessons I've learned is the intricate connection between my present experiences and the echoes of my ancestral past. Family Constellations has illuminated the hidden threads that connect us to our lineage, showing me that the struggles and triumphs of my ancestors ripple through generations, influencing how circumstances unfold in my life today. As a result, I have a stronger acceptance of my family members and understanding why I have financial issues. Through this process, I've come to understand that my healing isn't just for me alone; it reverberates through the tapestry of my family line, touching those who came before and those who will come after. As I heal, I become a conduit for healing not just for myself, but for my ancestors. And while I do not have children in this lifetime, this healing impacts lives I will have in the future. In this journey, Hemla has been a guiding light, a true angel who embodies genuine love, guidance, and support. Her wisdom, intuition, trustworthiness, and honesty have been the cornerstone of our learning, growth, and journey. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher to walk alongside me on this path of discovery and healing. While I'm still not entirely confident in my ability to be a facilitator, I'm learning to trust myself more each day. With each small step, I'm gaining confidence that I can lead and facilitate a constellation for a client. It's a journey of growth and self-discovery that I'm grateful to be on, knowing that I have the support and guidance of Hemla and my community every step of the way. read more

Disclaimer: I got a free color therapy reading at a free art event (Color Party) at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art. And even though it wasn't a full one hour session. It was very helpful. I've never done color therapy before, didn't know what it was, or what to expect even. And I grabbed fives and it told her a lot of the things I was dealing and feeling with. And I was dealing with deep anxieties that I didn't tell anyone about. That whole past week.. I couldn't sleep or if I did: it was never well and I would just get nightmares. And everything wasn't 'new' that we talked about and something I didn't even realize. And Hemla gave me a deeper insight about things. And in the end gave me a new piece of solution that I could never have come up on my own and it definitely will be a game changer in my life. She has skill and a lot to offer with her services. And it is something that I hope to do again in the future. - P.S. I'm glad I did this.. but I felt so bad for unloading so many things especially at a free event. I wasn't expecting anything or knew what to expect. But thank you so much to Hemla, she was wonderful. read more

I've worked with Hemla for several months both in groups and individual sessions. She is an intuitive guide who knows just the right questions to ask to spur personal growth. She has a vast reservoir of knowledge from which to guide. I've benefitted from her detailed explanation of the enneagram and various methods for meditation. Hemla is so very good at bringing the esoteric down to reality, encouraging practical application of time-honored techniques. She is a good listener, patient and compassionate. I have benefitted greatly from her wisdom and highly recommend others make a similar commitment to themselves by utilizing her services. read more

I have felt stuck many times in my life without a clear resolution of how to move forward. Some issues or patterns that I have battled with include loneliness and financial insecurity. When Hemla started group family constellations a couple of years ago, I jumped onboard. Family constellations help break patterns that we have inherited from our ancestors, either consciously or unconsciously. I don't even know many of my ancestors, and that's okay! The best way to describe these constellations is an unstructured chess board of many moving pieces, with the only agenda to clear and heal the pain or loss that our ancestors have faced, thereby clearing our issues. Like many people, I never know how a constellation will unfold. I do know that, whether I participate for someone else's constellation or do my own, I walk out knowing that somehow, in some way, the healing process has started for an issue that I have in my life. Participating in other's constellations also reinforces how we're able to receive feelings or words intuitively and easily, even when we don't know the person that we're representing in the constellation. I found it cathartic to experience how words, a hug or a good cry can change the past significantly. One of my most memorable experiences was when one of my constellations went many, generations back! I wanted to heal my feelings of loneliness and this constellation brought understanding as to why I felt the way I did. What's even better is that I don't have to do anything after these constellations. The healing starts to unfold energetically. Hemla incorporates Color Therapy and the Enneagram into these constellations, which is a unique way of explaining the story. She's a gifted intuitive healer, facilitator, and above all, very compassionate. It's truly been one amazing experience after another, and so I keep on coming back. read more

Hemla has been an invaluable gift in my life. She has helped me through a very difficult phase in my life. She helped me understand myself, what triggers me and comes in the way of my success. With breathing and grounding exercises, she helped me navigate some very difficult decisions and circumstances. More importantly she has the most calming and grounding presence. Every session I had with her gave me actionable tips for life and a feeling of clarity. read more

I booked a constellation session with Hemla after hearing her on a podcast, and knew I had to work with her to help work through the blockages I was experiencing in trying to conceive my daughter. I had been through 4 rounds of IVF to conceive my son and suffered two blighted ovum miscarriages and was terrified of it happening again if I were to undergo fertility treatments again. In the session, we explored my Irish ancestry and healed the blight of the potato famine in my Irish past. 6 months later, I did one final round of IVF and got one perfect embryo that resulted in a pregnancy that was NOT blighted...my beautiful, perfect baby girl was born healthy and full term. I can not thank Hemla enough for the powerful work she observed for me that day. I am so grateful to her for the part she played in bringing my daughter home safely to me and helping my complete my family. read more

Hemla is a rare gem! She's one of the loveliest people/souls I've been blessed to know. She knows how to make a person feel safe, seen, appreciated and is such an amazing mentor. I took one of her online workshops on 'rediscovering you and bringing self-love into your life,' wow! I learned so much about myself, and felt deeply connected every step of the way. I look forward to digging deeper and taking more of her workshops/classes! read more

It's hard to do a review to give justice to Hemla Makan-Dullabh of 7 Rays Holistic Center. Hemla takes you through a process of self discovery and healing that is unique and inspiring, combining different types of methods that work best for your personality and what you are comfortable with. She is extremely approachable, and entirely open minded and non-judgmental about anything that you discuss with her. The process she led me through opened my mind, my heart, and my soul in ways that helped me understand who I am, where I came from and what I want to do to move forward-- unlike any other process I've ever experienced. Because I feel so strongly about Hemla's process and it's transformative effects, I would encourage and have encouraged many of my loved ones to meet with Hemla. She's simply amazing. I give her my highest recommendation. Sent from my iPhone read more

I appreciate having discovered 7 Rays Holistic Center on Yelp only to realize I'd met Hemla once before. To be honest, I had very little idea how color and energy impacted our psyche, though I suspected my lifelong desire to be recognized as an accomplished creative, and my personal obsession with sifting through colors (in the form of artist palettes) had some underlying current to my identity and perception of the world. Most therapists will not even broach the subject of intuition or creativity, often discarding these traits as "diagnosis of such and such disorder" which need taming and sedation. Sadly, we live in a helicopter-parenting community, and knowing Hemla's in this neighborhood is a breath of fresh air. Hemla is incredibly kind, intuitive, and gifted in helping clients identify their core essence, find clarity, and identify the root cause of their mental and emotional blocks. Hemla's approach is spiritual and open-minded; she is compassionate and non-judgemental. Contrary to conventional methods of therapy and coaching, Hemla's sessions are part conversation and part spiritual uncovery. She is like a close friend who is completely present and listens with all her heart -- and we realize, sometimes that is what we really really need. I recommend Hemla to anyone who is looking for a spiritual and holistic approach to self care. read more

Hemla is an extraordinary person and mentor. Initially I wasn't sure what to expect but, numerous sessions later, I am still pleasantly surprised and grateful for the work we've done together. She has transformed my life! Open your heart and mind to the possibility that you can significantly change your outlook on life, and she will guide you to a place of love and acceptance. I can't say enough about Hemla...I highly recommend working with her! read more

Hemla is very kind, gentle, compassionate, intuitive and gifted. Her wealth of knowledge and skills with different metaphysical modalities makes her unique in her field. She is a wonderful facilitator. When you go to see her, you feel like you are seeing a dear old friend. She holds the space for you and listens with compassion in a non-judgmental way. She empowers you and helps you to see yourself and your gifts. She clears the fog for you to see better and gives you a positive energy. If you go to see her, even if you have no idea what is happening to you, she will guide you and gently help you identify possible issues and point out the relevant therapies. read more

I came across Hemla's profile on Yelp when I finally decided to start my healing journey. The first time I met her, I didn't have any doubt that I made the right decision to reach out to her. For the first time, I met someone who is very compassionate, accepting, and non-judgmental. For the first time, someone is there to finally listen and allow me to be my true self - no filters, no facade, no pretentions - and it's liberating. I started to see her on a weekly basis and slowly, I have started to love and accept myself. Hemla has also been a great instrument for me to understand and accept my past and all the pain I went through; and forgive those who have caused it. Hemla continues to help me be comfortable and embrace the person that I am. She reminds me that I have strengths, which I should use for a greater purpose. I will be forever grateful for taking this journey with Hemla. I always think she is heaven-sent. There's a saying, "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." That is Hemla to me and I hope will be yours, too. Hemla offers a wide range of healing alternatives if you want to start with your journey. I have tried color therapy and found it very effective in understanding theyself - your past, present, and future; and your ideology and emotions. I have also tried family constellation and was awakened by strong emotions, which helped me to be more compassionate, accepting, and forgiving of my family and relationships. I am looking forward to other healing sessions with Hemla because every session brings in a unique transformation and is truly life-changing. read more

When I first went to see Helma at the 7Rays Holistic Center I really wasn't sure what to expect. She immediately put me at ease by calmly walking me through the therapy options she felt would help me, based on what I wanted to learn/understand. Since that first session the insights, knowledge and clarity I had sought for years became clear! Her methods are gentle yet so powerful. I am so grateful to have such a experienced, highly educated therapist right here. read more

Hemla has such a depth of knowledge on the history, existence and guidance of spiritual care. In our sessions she is professional and informative while sensitive and compassionate. Hemla actively participates in the conversation to help me tap into my spiritual journey. She recommends books, practical advice, and meditative tools. With her insight, I walk away more aligned with my feelings with greater grasp on my beliefs. She's an amazing mentor and advisor who allows me to be me; there is no judgment. After many months, I still continue to work with her and have yet to tap into the various other therapies she offers. So much to learn and understand. read more

Hemla is incredible! I am slowly beginning to explore holistic therapy for some struggles that I have had for years, and Hemla is very gentle, kind, and intuitive about where I have been and what I need.

Thoroughly enjoyed my time with Hemla - as a matter of fact, it affected me in a way I wasn't expecting. After having my 1-1 with her, I felt like I had a clearer purpose in my life.

My first session with Hemla--which was my first ever session with a holistic healer--was truly amazing. Within 5 minutes she was able to get at the core of my life challenges, through a color therapy exercise, and I revealed things to her I'd never spoken to anybody else. She also shared words with me that completely changed the way I now thing about the situation and set me on the path to recovery. Her warm, soothing, and nurturing voice is truly magical and transformative. Thank you, Hemla! read more

I have been working with Hemla for five years with raiki, colour therapy, regression, family constellation crystal therapy and energy work.

Hemla is a uniquely skilled healer. Rather than offering just one or two methodologies, she has accumulated a wealth of knowledge in a variety of energy healing techniques, so that she has a multitude of tools from which to draw when assessing the method best suited to a particular client's needs in any given session. I have been particularly amazed by her color therapy technique, which she has adapted, refined and perfected into her own unique form. At each session, the meaning of each color I've chosen has reflected with uncanny accuracy a present situation, emotion, and/or need. I leave each session with Hemla feeling revitalized and fortified, with greater clarity around whatever current circumstance I am struggling with, and new tools to enact positive change. read more

I highly recommend her to move blocks and be an acknowledging presence on the healing journey! read more

Hemla is a very competent and compassionate expert therapist. Initially skeptical of this approach, I have gained valuable insights into my personal issues. Hemla is an active listener, respectfully probing, non-judgmental, patient, and committed to her client's progress. She has an in-depth knowledge of many methodologies and skillfully customizes them. Compared to other therapists, Hemla is very generous of her time and expertise, without making the client feel rushed (or incomplete). I highly recommend Hemla to anyone on the path of self-inquiry and improvement. read more

I already did 3 sessions with Hemla and I am planning to add an extra 3 sessions in the upcoming weeks.

Hemla has a warm and kind energy and I would recommend her services to anyone open to explore alternative healing and mind/body balance. read more

I started going to Hemla over a year ago and she has helped me make some major changes. She has given me confidence, and helped me tap into my own strength. There are many times when, without her expertise, understanding and kindness, I would not have gotten through situations as well. She was with me and my dog when she became very ill. Hemla used Crystals to help my dog be at peace. She keenly understands how the body and spirit work together, and is able to communicate that in a way where I can apply it to my life. Thank you Hemla! read more

I was looking for a counselor/ therapist/ coach that would be able to help me move forward and process my life journey in a way that combined an understanding of both my actual life challenges with the spiritual dimension of those challenges.

Hemla is one of the warmest, most loving, compassionate and honest people I've ever had the pleasure to know. Her guidance and support have been invaluable as I journey to connect my mind, body and spirit. Color Therapy is just one of many healing modalities she does, that have helped me begin to set boundaries, build self-confidence, and embrace self-love. The experience was simple, non-threatening and fun! I picked some colors that appealed to me...then Hemla took it from there. She was able to share things about my past and present, that would ultimately take me farther down my Spiritual path than I ever dreamed possible. I'm planning to take my grandchildren to experience Color Therapy as well. She will teach them how to set boundaries, intentions, learn to express their feelings & how important self-love & acceptance is...all while playing. It's truly amazing what a little color can do! read more

Hemla is a wonderful healer and a kind intuitive adviser. She is excellent with both adults and children.

I HIGHLY recommend her services. read more
