John Cheney is a gifted healer who supports people in pursuing wholeness and well-being through an integrated practice of constellation work and a variety of energetic and massage modalities. Using a body-centered approach to healing, his areas of specialization include trauma, systemic restorative therapy, and general health issues. He has developed his systemic restorative therapy method working with clients with conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, paralysis caused by spinal damage, spinal stenosis, and Cervical Dystonia. Currently, John is a faculty member at NW School of Massage and teaches Oriental Medicine, Myofascial release, and Acupressure.
John has studied Family Constellation work since 1999. He trained and completed his initial training as a Family Constellation Facilitator in 2004, under German Family Therapist Dietrich Weth. Additional training with Johannes Schmidt, Anngwyn St Just, Albrecht Mahr, Stephan Hausner, Mark Johnson, Francesca Mason-Boring, Ursala Franke, Tom Bryson, Vivian Broughton, and Edward Zawidowski.
In 2006, John created a new form of systemic constellations called 5 Elements Constellations. This approach can be particularly helpful for acute health problems, sleeping disorders, lack of energy, seasonal affective disorder, trauma, and family healing legacies. Acupressure and Acutonics are used to help resource the seeker during the Constellation.

Testimonials
HI John, I would like to say thank you to you, for the great 5 element constellation workshop you did for us here in Calgary. My point of observing your facilitation, I saw how much your heart is in the work, and how you were truly in service to the ‘feminine’ in our case. All the “little toes” and “behind the ears” itches, 😉 You just kept going, you have my respect. And I only wish that everyone who will be in your circle has an open heart to your unique way of utilizing the systemic constellation. Many blessings, Alexandra Luppold, Systemic Constellation Facilitator
I would sincerely recommend John’s work to anybody interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the fundamental energy dynamics that are present within our bodies and in our lives in general.
John demonstrates how the 5 elements are distinct energies which each play an important role regarding any health issue, problem or question in our life.
He has a remarkable ability to tune into the core of whatever is going on in a given situation and to make seen what’s relevant to it. He then uses the tools which best serve in restoring the dynamics necessary in order to facilitate healing, whether it’s setting up a constellation, using acupressure, sound healing or a combination of all.
His work is very gentle and profound at the same time, creating a positive shift which seems to keep unfolding way beyond the time of the actual session…
Words can’t explain it – you have to experience it for yourself!
