What people say afterwards

Every word below is from someone who sat down with me and their chart. I have changed nothing but the punctuation.

At home

What changes between you and your kids

“I am a Splenic Projector mom, with an Emotional Manifestor kid. Learning and understanding that alone was the first big “AHA!!” moment in trusting my knowing that she has always been a special and challenging kiddo. Complete meltdowns and self isolation for hours on end from toddler age, on one end, and happy, funny, strong willed kid on the other, left me so confused and frustrated and alone… then I studied our designs and so much of those challenges were stemming from who she was designed to be and neither of us understanding it! I have been able to help guide her through these times now that I understand just her strategy and authority. It's so fascinating!!”
Sara — 4/6 Projector
“Understanding my family of 7's human design has opened my mind to understanding each of them on a deeper level. Like energy deep. These are just some surface level questions HD has helped me understand: “Why do I feel this way around this person? Why does this kid always do this thing? Why does this kid need so much more sleep then the others? Why am I ALWAYS so overstimulated!!?” And that really is just the tip of the ice berg!! This has given my family a great shift in perspective and a lot of peace for me as a mom.”
Robin H — Mom of five
“Since working with Stef, I have learned everyone's design in my family and it's really helped understand my kids. I'm obsessed with learning it all. Never is it wrong. It's mind blowing.”
Amanda
“I loved my Human Design reading so much, I've started researching more and plan to get readings for my family too. I just think it'd be so cool to finally understand why we all are the way we are and how to actually get along better!”
Sara
“The one thing that stands out is the way they are both role models in their design but the way they express it is so different!! Helps me so much to have a better understanding of how they approach problems, situations, and other people. To better understand my son isn't just being tedious, he is living in his design which is him being very curious.”
Tami — 6/2 Emotional Manifesting Generator
“Gosh this is so helpful. Reading through each of our designs helped me to feel more deeply connected with my family, as well as gave me insights into how I can better show up for them. It’s also showing how we diverge and how this can lead to conflicts, but I feel like with this knowledge in action, we can come to resolutions that feel aligned for all of us rather than just one or two of us.”
Melissa O — 6/2 Emotional Projector
“WHOA this is exactly me. No wonder I've felt so discouraged and misaligned.”
Skyler
“WOW! I absolutely love this. It's so validating to how I feel deep inside!”
Candy — 3/5 Manifesting Generator
“I am a Manifestor and I have goosebumps reading about myself.”
Sarah
“Wow. Amazing. You nailed it, Stef. Like you know me better than I know myself. So many miracles opened up for me today.”
Ava
“The stuff I have learned from you I have never learned from anyone. Thank you!”
Stella
“THANK YOU for all you do! Our lives are forever changed.”
Kat
“WOW. All I can say is that my business will forever be different and I am SO excited for the results.”
Jamie — 1/3 Projector
“Absolutely. Things feel like they are literally working out in the best ways.”

After a reading

What it feels like to finally be seen

“My reading with Stef was truly life-changing. She explained my Human Design in a way that made so much sense — it felt like everything just clicked. I finally understand myself on a deeper level, and that understanding has brought more peace and confidence into my life. It's helped me show up better in my relationships, my business, and most importantly, for myself. I've even started looking into readings for my family so we can understand each other better. There's a beautiful sense of ease that's come from this, and I can't thank Stef enough.”
Melissa
“I have loved feeling like someone fully sees me. I see the best version of me. It feels like a hug from the universe, constant permission to step into this. I look back and see where the conditioning happened and where I stopped expressing myself fully. It's so invigorating and comforting, able to show up more fully and in relationships and with my husband.”
Robin
“Stef's Human Design reading was seriously amazing. It felt like she was reading my soul! I learned so much about how I'm wired and why I do things the way I do. Now I get to live more in flow instead of forcing stuff that just doesn't fit and it feels so good.”
Toni Brown
“I've done a lot of self-development work, but nothing aligned the way Human Design did with Stefanie. She helped me understand my unique design in such a practical and compassionate way. I've released so much guilt, learned how to finally listen to my body, and finally align with how I move through life.”
Amber — 2/4 Manifestor
“Sometimes you feel like you are on the right path, but then doubt starts to creep in. You let the noise of the outside world drown out that inner voice that is calling you to follow a road less traveled. Getting to know my Human Design with Stef was like a confirmation from the universe that everything you are thinking is true, and allows you to forge forward more powerfully. It's that wow moment. Almost like looking in a mirror and really seeing yourself for the first time.”
Jules
“If I can give any testimonial it would be this. Everyone needs to meet with you to understand their Human Design. Don't just read it. When you explain it, it clicks. It's deeper, clearer and changes so much.”
Brianna
“It's the first time I feel whole, healed. It has so much to do with learning my Human Design and getting out of my corporate job. Human Design has allowed me and pushed me to accept who I am, and not look at the pieces of me as broken that are different than everybody else.”
Sara
“I feel empowered! I think all of us have those moments where we feel like we are living small and there is more. I've struggled for a long time trying to find my “purpose” and I feel like after today, I know the biggest piece to finding that is showing up in my own life and not silencing myself, and stop negotiating with my gut!”
Amanda
“As I navigate a career change Stef has completely opened my mind to a different way of life… one of joy and happiness and peace WHEN I live in alignment with my human design. I was not made for the corporate grind and that has been bumbling to the surface for a while now. Learning about my projector self has validated this deep desire to slow down and live my true authentic self!”
Sara — 4/6 Projector
“I feel deep down I have always wanted more these past few years but was feeling lost. I felt and know pieces of me healed but I feel a better understanding that I can help others and help be the voice.”
Erin
“Thank God literally that I found you. I honestly would have just allowed myself to stop and believe I am not ready for what I want.”
Robin
“I’ve had many hard seasons in my life, and with every hard thing, I’ve always had this deep knowing that there was a silver lining to all of it and that I would be used one day to help others through my own experiences. Stef brought human design into my life… learning that I’m a projector and what that means has been so fun and exciting to explore and deep dive with Stefanie. The reading I had with her brought so much clarity and validation in understanding myself. I absolutely would recommend anyone do a reading with her!!”
Rachel B.
“What I learned from Stef has not only helped me show up better for myself, but also in my business and relationships. Things feel more aligned now, like I’m not constantly pushing against resistance. It’s been a total game-changer.”
A client
“I’ve never been someone who’s been able to push through exhaustion to accomplish really anything lol that often left me feeling lazy or inadequate or that something wasn’t right because hustle culture is so prominent. After learning about my human design from Stephanie, I’ve learned that rest is one of the most important things that I can do for myself in order to live in alignment with who I was made to be. I’ve since canceled hustle culture in my life and prioritize rest in order to show up as my best self and boy has it been a game changer to not feel guilty for needing to rest and ultimately being so much more productive when I do work. I tell everyone I know about human design now and send them to Stef to get their reading because you’re just so good at helping you understand the nuances that come with human design!!”

At work

The same chart, applied to a business

“Stefanie is a gift — down to Earth, supportive, honest, and thoughtful. I almost know without a doubt, I would have given up completely if I had not found her and said “yes”. Working with Stefanie was an investment I am grateful for because now everything seems possible!”
Robin Houser — 6/2 Projector
“Working with Stef has been an incredibly valuable experience. She has a unique ability to break down Human Design in a way that is both practical and deeply insightful. Through our work together, she helped me better understand how I’m naturally wired to think, communicate, and lead. What stood out most was the validation I felt in areas of my design that I had intuitively sensed but never fully understood. Stef also helped me identify the areas where I should focus my energy to operate at my highest level—both personally and professionally. Her guidance has given me greater clarity in how I lead others, make decisions, and communicate more effectively. If you’re looking to understand yourself on a deeper level and lead with greater alignment, I highly recommend working with Stef.”
Justin McElroy — 5/1 Generator
“The way my business is growing and clients are coming in is like nothing I have ever experienced since being a business owner! I owe it to Stefanie and her coaching on my Human Design in business. I no longer feel like a fish out of water. This was game changing and life changing!”
David — 5/1 Generator
“Stef helped me see myself using a different lens, and that made a huge difference in opening up possibilities for how I run my business. I feel more confident in doing things my way, not just the way I've been told things “should” be done in business, because I see myself in a fresh light.”
Lori Cangilla — 1/4 Manifesting Generator
“THANK YOU SO MUCH for going into that much depth for me. Such valuable information on how I can utilize my design in business. Really loved this. Saw things in a new light and new understanding. The way you explain it makes the complexity of Human Design more digestible and understandable.”
Jacquelynn — 5/1 Projector
“I have always wondered about it and she explained Human Design so well. The way she integrated it into a business strategy plan was genius. I really appreciated learning about how to lean on my strengths, and honor and respect when I need to rest.”
Stacie
“Stefanie felt like a magic bullet! Not only was she able to explain my design to me, why I absolutely cannot build my business the way everyone else does, and how to start creating and growing based on my design - she was also able to share her years of experience and gigantic tool box of knowledge from her years of business growth with me. She coached me based on ME and unlocked a whole new possibility of my dream for my business that no one has done before.”
Robin — 6/2 Projector
“Stefanie really helped me clarify my brand as to how it relates to my students. She helped me get more comfortable stepping into leadership and sharing my voice. I have a clear directive of who my students are, how to communicate with them, and I feel confidence to claim my leadership. Stef helped me see myself using a different lens, and that made a huge difference in opening up possibilities for how I run my business. I feel more confident in doing things my way, not just the way I've been told things "should" be done in business, because I see myself in a fresh light.”
Barb — 5/1 Generator
“Human design has been so enlightening for how I market and structure my offers. Stef helped me understand how to communicate and how to connect with myself based on my inner knowing, manage my energy, and create systems that support sustainable success. My business plan feels more aligned, easeful, and impactful.”
Amanda
“I met Stef 6 years ago, in the online space. I’ve always been pulled to her, because she is the same person in real life as she is on social media. She has always been a cheerleader for me, in a sense that she will always listen and encourage with what is possible. The energy she brings to help you find your passion is amazing!”
Holly C.
“Stef was instrumental in helping me realize my true potential. Her no BS approach to breaking my limiting beliefs was not only the best thing for my professional career, but my personal life as well. Her experience, leadership, and drive helped me get to where I wanted to be with my business so much faster. if you want to elevate your life, you need Stef in your corner!”
Jill W
“Thanks to Stef’s coaching, I’ve not only overcome the barriers holding me back, but also gained a renewed sense of purpose and direction. I highly recommend Stef for anyone trying to elevate their performance and achieve meaningful results.”
Toni B.
“Before working with Stef, I was constantly second-guessing every business decision. I'd spend weeks overthinking the smallest choices. Through her alignment work, I've learned to trust my intuition and now make clear decisions in minutes instead of months. Last month, I launched a new offer that felt completely aligned - and it sold in 48 hours!!”
Michelle S.
“I had heard of Human Design, but had no idea the depths it could go, insight it could deliver, and gifts it could offer. It is unlike anything I have ever seen AND it completely unlocked my momentum in my business. Most importantly, I never would have had any idea what was possible, how to start, or what to do with this concept unless I had Stefanie. Based on our first conversation and how safe Stefanie felt to me, I knew I had to be in her space for the full package she was offering at the time to allow what I was looking for in my business growth. I have invested more money than I am willing to add up at this time in other coaches to help me unlock my next step in business to advance my career and ability to help more people over the last 6 years!!! 6 years of being shown what should work for me to achieve my goals that all resulted in me falling flat with what became an expense and not an investment. Stefanie was able to identify "why" in our first session. Because of my design as a 6/2 Mental Projector, I simply cannot do what everyone else does and be successful without completely becoming drained (and resentful towards myself because I completely felt like I was failing - my dream, my clients, my family, the coach, and the process). I had come to believe that my vision was not for me, but for everyone because I did not have what it takes - discipline, constant output, desire, motivation, knowledge, or willpower. Stefanie felt like a magic bullet! Not only was she able to explain my design to me, why I absolutely cannot build my business the way everyone else does, and how to start creating and growing based on my design - she was also able to share her years of experience and gigantic tool box of knowledge from her years of business growth with me. She coached me based on ME and unlocked a whole new possibility of my dream for my business that no one has done before. She supported me every step of the way, reminded me of my strengths, VERY PATIENTLY explained new technology concepts to me that I was excited to learn about, and propelled me into spaces that will exponentially expand my business! She made sure I knew I could be successful every step of the way, was a cheerleader in new spaces for me, and helped to promote what I was doing. She was honest, held me accountable, and pushed me like a big sister to just keep going so I did not self-sabotage. Stefanie taught me so that I could learn to continue on my own, she did not coach to make me dependent on her. She was able to celebrate with me when I told her I signed up my first client for my offer, which was a first for me by showing up in my business so aligned with my Human Design. Human Design is an incredible tool with more levels and layers than I can even imagine. If you are just starting out with your business, getting ready to level up, or have tried and haven't been able to step into your potential - you want Stefanie to be the one guiding you through. She knows it, she knows business, she knows marketing, and she can help you skip spending extra time and money on ways that work for other people that may not work for you. The damage done to your confidence, excitement, and wallet are not worth it. Stafanie is a gift, down to Earth, supportive, honest, and thoughtful. I almost know without a doubt, I would have given up completely if I had not found her and said "yes". Working with Stefanie was an investment I am grateful for because now everything seems possible! 'Thank you' is not enough :)”
