Tracy Cartwright and John Palairet & Jo Amrein-Palairet
25 Sept 2025
In this heartfelt conversation, Tracy Cartwright is joined by John and Jo Amrein-Palairet to explore their shared journey into Family Constellation work. Jo reflects on the grief of losing her mother, the challenges of parenting a daughter with a disability, and how Constellations opened a path of healing, acceptance, and connection. John shares his own subtle yet powerful shifts — from the carpenter’s workshop into the Constellation field — and how the work has deepened his perspective on relationships, ancestry, and life itself.
Together, John and Jo talk about navigating nearly three decades of marriage, creating retreats focused on relationships and family balance, and what it means to walk the path of healing as a couple. From layers of grief to the flow of love, their story is living proof of the transformative power of this work — not just for individuals, but for generations to come.
