Integral Development & Systemic Healing Institute

01

About Us Us

We are the Integral Development Institute dedicated to supporting personal growth emerging in Costa Rica and the world.

We were born in 2014 with a mission: to provide you with certifications, workshops, and inner growth events that exist internationally, but much closer to home.

We integrate into our approach the teachings of great exponents of classical and alternative therapies such as Bert Hellinger, Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, and Walter Riso, building a bridge of systemic wisdom for your well-being.

Brief Intervention Therapy

What is a Family Constellation?

It is a systemic method that reveals the invisible threads and unconscious bonds in the family system.

Through this technique, you can visualize patterns, invisible loyalties, blocks, or repetitive dynamics inherited (from illnesses and financial issues to relationship breakups) in order to understand their origin, honor your history, and free yourself from what is not yours to carry.

Co-Founder / Facilitator

James Evans Paniagua

I am a family facilitator with roots in Costa Rica and the United States, where I lived for 20 years, finding human development through my own experiences.
