Marina Toledo

Founder and Director of the Hellinger Institute


"Thank you to my mom and dad, siblings and ancestors for giving me the greatest gifts of all. I carry your love and strength in my heart and thanks to it, I am able to dedicate myself to what I love most."

Marina Toledo is an internationally recognised Family Constellations Facilitator and Trainer, and the Founder and Director of the Hellinger Institutefirst established in Canada and now serving an international community from Spain.

Her work is inspired by her parents: from her father, a pioneering entrepreneurial spirit, and from her mother, unconditional love and a dedication to teaching that honours each person as they are. Both are present in the way she teaches and supports the unfolding of each person’s soul.

Her journey with Family Constellations began in 2002, when she first experienced the profound healing this work can bring. At the time she did not imagine that one day she would devote her life to it. Yet the depth of the shifts she witnessed in herself and others ignited a calling to make this work available in Canada, where it was still largely unknown.

Marina began her facilitator training in 2009 and went on to study extensively with Bert and Sophie Hellinger and their School in Germany, as well as with other international trainers. Over seven years she travelled to different countries to absorb the essence of the work directly from its founder. With Bert Hellinger’s personal blessing, she founded the Hellinger Institute in 2011 with a clear vision: to open hearts and facilitate reconciliation and transgenerational healing around the world.

Before Family Constellations, Marina represented Spain in Canada and then Canada in Japan.

She holds a degree in Mass Communications and Political Science from York University in Toronto, along with studies in Business Administration and Adult Education. She is also trained in Reiki, NLP, Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness Meditation, and Erickson Coaching, and has learned from First Nations in Canada and Peru.

Her studies and teaching have taken her across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, learning directly from the sources of diverse methodologies.

Today, Marina offers comprehensive facilitator trainings internationally, both online and in person, and also leads workshops in various countries.

Her teaching is known for its depth, presence, and embodied wisdom, weaving together systemic principles and a profound respect for the movements of the soul. She creates a space where transformation can unfold with dignity and grace.

About Jorge Toledo

Educator and Systemic Education Trainer

Jorge Toledo is an educator and a pioneer in the integration of systemic principles into schools. He brings together years of classroom experience and systemic training to transform the way children learn and develop. His work reveals how unseen family and systemic dynamics shape a child’s behaviour, motivation, and sense of belonging at school, and how freeing these patterns creates space for confidence, connection, and a natural love of learning.

Jorge holds a degree in Engineering from the University of New Brunswick in Canada and spent over two decades as founder and CEO of his own company. Alongside his professional career, he cultivated a passion for personal and relational growth, becoming a certified yoga teacher and studying NLP, Reiki, and other modalities. His lifelong interest in human development and the deeper forces that shape our lives naturally led him toward systemic work.

In 2018, he followed a calling to bring systemic awareness into education and became Co Director of the adolescent program at City Country School in Madrid. There, he has been leading the integration of systemic education into daily school life, making City Country School one of the few truly systemic school models in the world today.

Jorge trained in Family Constellations with Bert Hellinger and other respected teachers, as well as in the Systemic Approach to Education. Today, he supports schools internationally in creating environments where every child can feel seen and thrive. 

Discover systemic education:

  • Workshops and trainings (online and in person)
  • Resources and tools for teachers and parents
  • Professional guidance grounded in systemic pedagogy

With Jorge’s experience and vision, systemic pedagogy becomes not just theory, but a living practice that is transforming families and schools worldwide.

    I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to you. I really loved and appreciated my experience with family constellation with you. What an amazing and powerful way to heal and liberate!

    After my first family constellation with Marina I felt a great shift in my energy regarding my parents, especially my father. I have been working consistently to receive my father back into my life, through our classes and exercises. This past night my oldest daughter had a very symbolic dream where she is with her dad (my ex-husband) cleaning her feelings towards him. She woke up with a memory of a day her dad helped her and she realized her dad does love her. As I work my relationship with my father, my daughter also feels touched by this energy field and wants to shift the perception (criticism/judgments) she holds against her dad.

    I would like to thank you very much for the level I training / personal development of Hellinger Family Constellations.  It was out of my expectation.  I have learned a lot about relationships, family puzzle (as I call it!) and you!  Isn’t it wonderful to experience our thoughts (or better say the impact of people on us in our personal life) without being interacting physically with them?  What you are practicing and teaching in your Hellinger institute is saving lives of persons that they are seeking a better solution rather than hurting their love ones or themselves.  You are helping people to heel their pain and learn the method for life!  I am stunned how effective the workshop can be!

    I have been at a few constellations lead by you over the last year and a half and have been truly surprised each time. During and after each workshop major shifts take place in my life and the life of my family. Never knowing what will happen, each time I grow and I find myself becoming the person I want to be more and more. The work helps me focus on what's important as that is brought to the surface. It keeps me focused on what is. The connection I find with people there is up-lifting. It feels more like a spring board in my spiritual journey.

    It was a great experience to do a constellation with you and it definitely has made a change in my life.

    I'd like to thank you for last Thursday evening's family constellations workshop. That was exactly what I needed, even though I did not have my own constellation done. The big progress for me was on one of somebody else's situations, when I was just sitting and watching the constellation. Since Friday morning I feel very peaceful and calm inside. Again a very warm thank you for that.

    Hi Marina, I would like to say the class has changed my life, I cannot thank you enough. I now recommend it to everyone I know. Thanks again.

  • Martha Lopez
    It was a real pleasure to meet you on the Workshop. It was quite an experience, it really helped me to understand the reason that my mother and my father were the way they were. It was so clear not only when I did my family constellation, but when I saw the pain of other people that were on similar situations like my parents. I felt that any judgment that I still had for my parents was lifted as well as judgment for myself and some other people. I feel lighter now. Thanks ever so much for helping me and helping so many people through this amazing method and with your energy, light and love that definitely are great and make us feel so good.

    I have had this incredible sense of peace since the last session. Connecting so deeply with the collective field has been a peak experience. Such peace. Such subtle strength. I also LOVED the meditation!

  • Darren Steiner
    I just wanted to let you know how deeply moved and touched I was by the last Family Constellation Workshop. I have never experienced anything quite like it. You have an amazing gift that is going to help so many people, you are truly an inspiration to me and i'm sure so many others. It was an honour and a pleasure to have been a part of this and I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    I want to thank you Marina for introducing me to the power of family constellation work. I had experienced several wondrous energy shifts after having two constellations done myself. I felt lighter and more open to life and love. The biggest surprise came after my third individual session. Both my parents have passed away and have been gone several years now. A few weeks after doing my third constellation I opened a letter from a dear old friend with a decade old picture of my two parents smiling at me arm in arm. The friend had been going through old pictures and felt moved to copy that one and send it to me out of the blue! It warmed my heart and truly felt like a hug from beyond.
