THE LONGER VERSION

I have always embraced a healthy curiosity when it comes to experimenting with health and wellness.

There was that time when I was 17 and I decided to go raw vegan overnight - I lasted three days. Or that time when I was 18 and I tried giving myself a bikini wax and ended up stuck to my bathtub. Or that day I took Niacin for the first time while working in a vitamin store and I had to go hide in the freezer for an hour. Or the time I tried Retinol and burned my face. Or that time I tried a Coffee Enema and learned just how up-tight I really am.

I was very experimental with my body until I hit my Saturn Return, which makes sense as a 3/6 profile. Up until my Saturn Return, I lived my life like a 3/3 and then I naturally grew out of it. While I still have a very trial-and-error 3rd line mind, I’m no longer willing to experiment with my health just to see what happens. My Ego center gives me the will to do a lot, but it’s done giving me the will for unnecessary and inefficient health forays. My Ego has surrendered to the health authority of my Spleen and it’s pointing me in the direction of Differentiated Immunity now.

I explored a litany of health modalities before I found Human Design. I trained as a Holistic Health Practitioner and used that title to cover a wide range of alternative health consultations. I also started a wildcrafted herbal medicine company called Mountain Medicine Holistics in 2017 that taught me so much about foraging, processing, preparing and using herbal medicine. While I didn’t know about HD at the time, in retrospect I can absolutely see how I was being myself as a Consecutive Determination, Markets Environment, Splenic, Quad Left, Sun Gate 5, Channel of Surrender. I was in the flow, being primal, existential, focused on finding plants to turn into medicine to sell to people.

The things about collecting enough plants, to make enough products, to sell to earn a living - is that it’s a very labor intensive job, and I am a non energy type.

I didn’t know it at the time, but I specifically recall saying I needed to advance my education somehow so I could get to a job where I could sit and talk to people so that it would be energetically sustainable for me. I started applying for a counselling course and that’s when I found Human Design. It completely hijacked my attention. It derailed all of my plans and just sucked me. I read the Definitive Book of Human Design in a day, and then I read it again.

I had no idea at the time how vast the system was that I had just stumbled into. I had no idea that the real name for this knowledge is The Design Of Forms and that it covers everything from Humans to Plants to Inanimate objects. It has answers about how our cosmos was created, what happens when you dream, what you were made to eat, what your own personal authority is, how your memory works, what your cognitive potential is. It can tell you what environment is the most beneficial for you, or how to communicate with your partner, or how to help your child learn.

I’ve been experimenting with my Human Design since 2019, but the last two years have been something really extraordinary. I’ve managed to get deep enough to be able to see and understand where it merges with other modalities and how to use the two to enhance each other. An example of this is nutrition - you can study all you want on the topic of how humans “should” eat, and it will never be as efficient and differentiated as using someones Strategy, Authority, Determination and Brain orientation in combination with what we know about universalized nutrition.

MOUNTAIN MEDICINE HOLISTICS

IS HOW I SURVIVED MY SATURN RETURN

The path of my education was a winding one. I graduated highschool in 2006 at the age of 16 and spent the next couple of years burning through entry level jobs (I was definitely living that 3/3 life) until I got a job as a counsellor at a women’s transition center. I was grossly under qualified for that job, but my boss recognized something in me. It motivated me to pursue a higher education related to psychology and I started college, but I really didn’t like the school and I quickly broke the bond with it and moved to a new town and signed up for hairdressing school. I had absolutely no interest in it, but I thought it would be a good idea to have a “fall back trade I could do from home” (which is spot on as I’m Markets Environment and designed to work from home from my Saturn Return onward). While I highly disliked the students (Wa dynamic) I was spending 8 hours a day with, I did love the chemistry and biology components of the teachings. In fact I liked them so much, I decided to upgrade my high school sciences which reminded me how smart I was and how much potential I was wasting being a hair stylist. The day I graduated hairdressing, I moved to the Okanagan and re-tried college. In my third year, I switched to the University of BC Okanagan for a Bachelors in Social Work, but I never completed it.

What I’m about to tell you next is quite a cliché - I met a man, had a baby and got married. My whole world completely changed. My son, Maven, became my new world, and my favourite experience and experiment I’ve ever had the pleasure of participating in. Because I was a stay-at-home mom, I had the luxury of being able to study whatever interest grabbed my focus, and at the phase in my life - it was all things health related. We lived on a small farm and I was incredibly active on the property raising animals, growing a garden, learning about sustainability and traditional skills. When I started experiencing consecutive miscarriages, I got very focused on all things related to herbal medicine, nutrition, fertility and detoxing. I started making my own medicine and the more I made, the more people asked me if I had extra to sell.

When Maven turned 4 - I told his father I wanted a divorce. When we separated, I had a resume with a 4 year gap. While I felt that my 68k student loan debt should prove to others that I was incredibly well educated and knowledgable, apparently it didn’t. I went into pure survival instinct and that took me to the woods. In all the spare time I could find, I began to go to the forest and collect plants. Any extra money I had went towards supplies for making medicine. Every time I sold a batch I knew I could afford to make a slightly larger one the next time. I began taking my products to farmers markets and within 2 months I had a small, but steady stream of money coming in.

I barely scraped by, and I considered going back to school and taking out more student loans just to buy myself time to study while I figured it out - but I could sense something, and there’s no better way to say it than I knew that a change was coming. A change that was out of my control. I knew I wasn’t meant to act, but to wait. I specifically remember calling my mom from my bathtub and crying about how I couldn’t hold out much longer, but I also couldn’t give up, I knew something was about to alter my life. I discovered Human Design and was bitter that I was a Projector. The last thing I wanted to hear in my current state was that I was supposed to wait to be invited. To me that sounded like financial suicide. On the other hand - if it really was the path to success, my apparent signature as a Projector - maybe I could be willing to try one last experiment before I gave up entirely and called myself a failure.

I’m guessing you have an idea of how that story turned out since you’re here on my website reading about how this all came to be. From the day I committed to trying my best to live according to my Strategy and Authority, my life has been nothing like it used to be. As soon as I made myself known publicly as a Projector who was studying design, I was invited to give readings. The day I went into Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, a client sent me a paypal transfer for 1,500$ and said they wanted to buy “10 sessions in advance” and from that day forward, I have been recognized and successful in this industry. When I found Human Design, I found the system I was made for. I’ve been deep into the study of it for 4 years now and I’m ready to focus my client work on what I’m calling Differentiated Immunity - How each of us is meant to be healthy according to our own unique mechanics. Are you curious what your Differentiated Immunity is? Are you ready to be guided to it? If so, I’m your Projector.
