Bit about me: I’ve been working as a transformational life coach and healing facilitator since the late 90s. As a highly sensitive person, I’m comfortable with tears—whether it’s expressing, witnessing, or sharing. I value the process of hearing oneself think aloud, and clients and friends say I’m great at holding space. I’m into all things ‘woo,’ but I also have a practical and somewhat skeptical side (my prior career was in finance). I approach spiritual and esoteric interests as an experimenter—cautiously open and willing to try, unless I get a clear inner “no,” which I’ve learned to trust over the years.

When I first encountered Human Design, I thought, “Interesting, but too complicated for me right now.” It was a clear “not now.” A couple of years later, as it kept appearing in my life, I gave it another look. This time, it was a resounding “YES, NOW,” and I’ve been exploring it ever since.

Bit about you: You likely know or suspect you’re a highly sensitive person or an empath. You might also be into some or all things ‘woo,’ whether openly or not. (Trust me, you’re not alone in that!) You’re probably self-aware, committed to personal growth, and fascinated by self-discovery tools or assessments.

I invite you to get your Human Design chart on my site. I offer two free reports—the Quantum Human Design report, written in a less traditional tone to resonate with your self-aware side, and the General report, closer to traditional Human Design. Both reflect the essence of your natural design and provide insight into how you came to be. Remember, your chart is a blueprint; it doesn’t represent all of who you are but rather how you operate and relate to others and your environment. For highly sensitive people, this distinction is important—your sensitivity is not ‘who’ you are but a significant part of ‘how’ you operate.

After reading and reflecting on your free report, I’d love to partner with you as your guide and coach to dive deeper into your Human Design chart. My goal is for our sessions to be not only inspiring and enlightening but also practical and useful in your everyday life. I call this foundational reading the “Empowered by Design Session” to reflect that intention.
