Generator Children
Generator children are naturally responsive and need to be encouraged to pay attention to their response.
Generator children make non-verbal sounds that indicate a positive, a negative, or sometimes a neutral response to everything that they encounter. Teach your generator child to act only in response to being asked or presented with something, and to act only when the response is clearly positive or negative. Help him or her be aware of these responsive sounds and their associated meanings. Some sounds mean “yes” and other sounds mean “no”. Do not force a generator child to say the words “yes” or “no” in place of his or her natural grunts and groans. They can be taught to be polite after learning to attend to their natural response, but not before. Parents of generator children must be willing to take “no” for an answer when they ask their generator child a yes/no question. It is healthy for a generator child to be able to say “no”.

I am a Human Design teacher, guide, and survivor whose path to purpose was forged through profound transformation. In 2012, a Stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis shattered the life I knew—and became the unexpected beginning of a deeper awakening. What followed was a journey through illness, the unraveling of a long marriage, and the quiet rebuilding of a self I had never fully met. Human Design found me in the midst of that unraveling—during a time of deep searching, blackouts of identity, and a hunger to remember who I really was. What began as a personal tool for survival and self-reclamation soon became a lifelong path. Human Design gave me language for what I had always felt but couldn’t explain. It helped me understand my energy, my wounds, my gifts—and how to live in alignment with my true nature.
Today, I teach Human Design not as a system of labels or rules, but as a living, breathing map back to the Self. My work is rooted in lived experience—because I know what it’s like to lose your way, and what it takes to come home to yourself. I specialize in guiding others through times of transition, awakening, and reinvention—helping them understand the unique blueprint they were born with, so they can navigate life with clarity, self-trust, and deep compassion. My gift lies in transmuting adversity into wisdom—and walking with others as they remember who they truly are.
