Discovering Human Design Changed Everything for Me

How Human Design Became My Compass for Healing, Energy, and Business

Finding alignment in life and business isn’t a straight line. It’s more like a winding road full of detours, pit stops, and a few questionable turns down “this sounded like a good idea at the time” street.

Over the past several years, I’ve explored multiple directions in my work — from supporting caregivers and their families to guiding women entrepreneurs and solopreneurs. And after all that experimenting, I’ve landed back on what’s always been right in front of me: holistic health, energy healing, and Human Design.

This post is part reflection, part guide, and part invitation. Let’s dive into the lessons I’ve learned and how Human Design became one of my most powerful tools for growth.

The Permission to Shift and Change

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is this: you have permission to shift. In business, in your identity, and in your focus. Growth isn’t about locking yourself into one title or one idea forever. It’s about experimenting, testing, and realizing when something no longer fits.

I gave myself permission to evolve beyond “The Solopreneur Shift” because it no longer captured the work I’m here to do. And you can give yourself that same permission, too.

Why I Returned to Holistic Roots

After months of testing different directions, I realized the work that lights me up has always been about guiding people through healing — supporting women in releasing blocks, finding clarity, and reconnecting with themselves.

With a background in occupational therapy, I’ve always had the lens of both compassion and practicality. My gift isn’t in “fixing” people but in guiding them back to their own wisdom and energy. The role of a facilitator, not a savior.

Human Design: A Compass, Not a Crutch

Human Design is a system that blends astrology, energy, and psychology to help you understand how your energy is meant to function. I stumbled across it six years ago, and it’s been a steady companion ever since.

Here’s the key: Human Design is a tool, not a rulebook. It’s meant to provide insights and frameworks, not dictate every decision. Used well, it helps you notice patterns, uncover vulnerabilities, and give yourself permission to live in alignment with your natural energy.

Lessons From Being a Projector

When I discovered I was a Projector in Human Design, everything clicked into place. Suddenly, all the burnout, the resentment, the insomnia, and the endless pressure to “hustle harder” made sense.

As a Projector, I’m not designed to grind all day, force opportunities, or constantly prove myself. My role is to guide, to share wisdom, and to manage energy rather than deplete it.

Understanding my chart gave me:

1. Compassion for my limits — I wasn’t broken, I was just misaligned.

2. Boundaries with my energy — I learned when to step back and when to lean in.

3. Clarity about my role — My value comes from guiding, not grinding.

4. A new perspective on success — It’s about alignment, not hustle culture metrics.

Healing Through Energy Work

This understanding of Human Design naturally wove into my work with Reiki. By combining energy healing with Human Design insights, I guide women in clearing blocks, shifting stuck patterns, and accessing new levels of balance.

My Human Design Informed Reiki sessions are about tuning into your unique energy map and using it as a guide for healing and alignment. It’s creating the space for you to do it.

The Invitation

If you’re feeling the weight of burnout, perfectionism, or misalignment in your work or life, consider exploring your Human Design. It may not give you all the answers, but it can give you the clarity and validation you need to start making real changes.

You’re allowed to evolve. You’re allowed to let go of what doesn’t fit anymore. And you’re absolutely allowed to design a life and business that supports your energy, not drains it.
