It was March 2014 when Human Design unexpectedly strolled into my life and changed it forever.
It was a bumpy start as I was highly sceptical that a picture generated based on only my birth data could possibly tell me useful things about myself.
And I was so thrown by the fact that I was a “Projector” as my life felt so far removed from what the teachings available at the time told me about my Design.
Thankfully, something about the chart spoke to my soul and I simply could not ignore it. (I tried though! Gosh, I tried 😝)
In the 11+ years since that fateful day, I have spent more hours learning about this system than I care to admit and I have devoted far more time than I ever thought my trauma-challenged nervous system would require to actually live the damn stuff I’d been learning.
Since then, the way I work in the world has changed dramatically.
For most of my life, I had been paid to work like a Generator, swapping my time and effort for money. It was a shortcut to burnout, even in the jobs I genuinely liked doing.
These days I am paid to guide those who want my support and it feels like the most amazing privilege as it is both easier and more rewarding than anything I ever did pre-Human Design.
By becoming more aligned with my energetic design I am also faaaaaaaar healthier than I was in 2014. The year Human Design (HD) found me I was already finding “normal work” crippling even though I was only working casual jobs (because that’s all I could manage at that point).
I was in my early 30’s but I (truly) felt like I was in my early 60’s.
I was so tired.
The road to recovering my energy has taken a combination of everything I’ve learned in the last decade and so many of the other bodies of work (Tapping, trauma healing, Quantum Biology, etc) were things I found because I was living more and more in alignment with what my chart showed me about my right path.
Practising living according to my Human Design led me to these other bodies of knowledge that I now incorporate into everything I do with HD.
The list of things that have changed in my life since learning about and applying Human Design to my life is long.
My familial relationships have improved.
My ability to make friends has transformed so much that the kids at school who used to endlessly tease me would no longer recognise me if they saw the person I am today.
But perhaps one of the most profound changes
has been in my love life.
For the longest time, I found myself in dysfunctional and/or abusive relationships with partners. While I want to be clear, this did not happen overnight,
I am now in the longest-lasting, safest, most stable, most loving romantic relationship I’ve ever been in.
Had Human Design not waltzed into my life all those years ago I shudder to think what my life would look like now.
My precious body had already been through so much. It was only through the lessons that HD taught me about the right way to relate to myself and others, as well as the deconditioning support of 'Tapping' that I am able to stand in this home, at this laptop and create this website and the various resources you'll find on here.
These days my work has become a delightful combination of Human Design and Deconditioning through Tapping, both of which are infused with every Trauma-Informed Principle I’ve learned in the last two and a half years of a nervous system deep dive with teachers who are true masters of this work.
Through much experimentation and experience serving more clients than I can count, I have discovered that Human Design alone is insufficient for most people.
And having spent a lot of time with students, practitioners, and master trainers of Tapping, it has become obvious that Tapping alone is not enough for most people either.
With my more recent nervous system deep dive, it’s also become clear that learning some somatic exercises to regulate the nervous system is also not going to do it for most people.
To live a truly expanded life and feel safe to be ourselves we have to
weave all these things together.
Now, in my coaching and courses, I support like-minded and brave-hearted humans who are dedicated to being themselves and making the world a better place.
They’re willing to engage with the muck they find in their Shadow (i.e. sadness, anger, fear, etc) as well as bathe in the light of love, joy, wonder and more.
They know it’s a long game that they’re willing and excited to play for the rest of their lives spiralling ever upwards a better and better life.
If that sounds like you then I'm delighted that you're here 😊
