Tracy Cartwright with Mariko Schmidtauer
25 Dec 2025
In this episode of Constellations & All That, Tracy Cartwright is joined by Family Constellations facilitator Mariko Schmidtauer for a rich, spacious conversation about what it truly means to trust the field.
Together, they explore Mariko’s international journey from corporate life into systemic and somatic healing, and how Family Constellations found her through synchronicity, embodiment, and deep inner listening.
Mariko shares how her work has been shaped by nature awareness, ceremony, trauma-informed practice, and Compassionate Inquiry — and why presence, safety, and integration are essential to meaningful healing.
This conversation weaves through group and individual constellations, working online and across distances, honouring the body’s wisdom, and allowing what has been hidden in family systems to finally be seen.
Tracy and Mariko also reflect on facilitation ethics, holding safe containers, releasing roles, and the profound healing that happens through witnessing, rest, sound, and embodied experience.
A nourishing listen for facilitators, practitioners, and anyone curious about the deeper layers of Family Constellations and systemic healing.
