ANECDOTE

Emma's Journey to Human Design

Emma Dunwoody was diagnosed with depression and panic disorder at 28 and told she wouldn't fully recover.
This led her on a journey of self-discovery, including studying the brain, subconscious mind, and eventually human design.

INSIGHT

Gene Keys and Human Design

The Gene Keys, channeled by Richard Rudd, represent the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching, also found in human design.
These keys are mapped to our human codon (DNA) and offer deeper self-understanding.

INSIGHT

Human Design Synthesis

Human design synthesizes Western astrology, the I Ching, the Hindu chakra system, and the Kabbalah tree of life.
It uses your birth time to create an energetic blueprint, a treasure map to your most authentic self.
