When Jen first discovered Human Design, she knew it could be powerful. But every HD course she took left her wanting more.

As a trauma-informed coach, Jen works with women who’ve already done the inner work. They’re no longer in survival mode; they’re ready to live fully, lead boldly, and stop apologizing for who they are. But even after completing several Human Design programs, Jen still didn’t feel equipped to use HD in a truly embodied, transformative way.

That all changed when she joined Human Design for Coaches.

“I had already taken three other Human Design courses, but they were ‘pop HD’—surface-level info that lacked depth and integrity,” Jen said. “I didn’t just want to memorize the BodyGraph—I wanted to truly understand it.”

Beyond Surface-Level: Why Jen Chose HDfC

For Jen, the decision to join HDfC was about more than just gaining knowledge. She was looking for a system that would allow her to confidently integrate Human Design into her coaching sessions, as a reader but also as a coach and guide.

“I needed something that went beyond the chart. I wanted a framework that could help me support my clients through real-life challenges like burnout, decision fatigue, and self-doubt.”

HDfC delivered exactly that. With source-based teachings, real-time mentorship, and a practical application framework, Jen said she finally found the depth and support she’d been looking for.

From Second-Guessing to Self-Trust

Since joining the program, Jen’s confidence as a coach has reached new levels.

“I no longer feel like I need to memorize every Gate or Channel to be effective. HDfC gave me a solid foundation I can trust, and that changed everything.”

Before taking the Human Design for Coaches program, preparing for a client session could take Jen 2-3 hours. Now? She’s cut her prep time down to just 30 minutes.

“I trust my understanding. I’m grounded in my role. I’m no longer clinging to a 3-ring binder of notes, and I’m showing up in alignment with my own energy.”

A Client Breakthrough: Releasing the Pressure to Prove

One of Jen’s most memorable client transformations happened during a session with a woman overwhelmed by constant decision fatigue.

“She was overthinking everything: Whether to launch a new offer, what to price it at, what to post online. She’d overwhelm herself with pros and cons lists and then end up ghosting her own ideas.”

When Jen reviewed this client’s Human Design chart, the story became clear: She had an undefined Solar Plexus, an undefined Heart, and Emotional Authority. Using what she learned in HDfC, Jen helped her client understand how these energies were amplifying this sense of urgency and the pressure to “prove” herself.

They created a plan to slow down, check in with her emotional wave, and release the need for instant clarity. The result? ⬇️

“The first time she waited for emotional clarity, she messaged me: ‘It feels weird to not act out of urgency—but also… peaceful?’”

That single shift transformed this client’s approach to business. No more ghosting or analysis paralysis. Just calm, confident action rooted in her sense of self-trust.

“I’ve Never Felt So Seen”

It’s feedback like this ☝️ that keeps Jen going. Since integrating Human Design into her sessions, she says the depth and impact of her work has skyrocketed.

“My clients say things like, ‘Now I understand why nothing else was working,’ or ‘You made me feel heard in a way no one else has.’ That’s the power of Human Design.”

Even though Jen has only been offering readings for under a year, she said the responses so far have been overwhelmingly validating—and often, deeply emotional.

“HD has given my clients permission to stop fighting themselves.”

Why HDfC Stands Out

Jen said that HDfC stood out to her for its integrity and depth.

“It’s one of the few truly source-based Human Design programs. The live Q&As were invaluable, and the private community was amazing.”

Jen also loved the program’s accessibility:

“I’ve spent way more on other courses that didn’t come close to the value of HDfC. This program gave me everything I needed to actually use Human Design in my business, not just understand it.”

More Than a Tool: A Business Game Changer

Jen’s work with Human Design now goes far beyond her client sessions. It’s shaped her business model, messaging, and even her mindset.

“I’m no longer trying to market to everyone. I know exactly who I’m here to serve, and those people are finding me.”

Understanding her own Human Design chart helped Jen start owning her unique voice, without over-explaining or trying to prove her worth.

“HDfC really helped me build a business that works with my energy, not against it.”

Jen’s Advice for Coaches on the Fence

“Ask yourself this: Do you just want to ‘know’ Human Design—or do you want to use it to change people’s lives?”

For Jen, Human Design for Coaches wasn’t just another course. It was the bridge between knowledge and actual real-life application, which leads to transformative coaching.

“This program gives you depth, nuance, and real application. You’ll leave with confidence, and with a powerful way to support your clients through meaningful transformation.”
