Wednesday Jul 28, 2021
Have you taken a personality test (like the Myers-Briggs, Enneagram, Clifton Strengths Finder, and felt like the answers "A", "B", "C", and "D" all apply to you?
Wonder how accurately it matches your personality? Or maybe are stuck, not knowing what to do with that results.
Quantum Human Design is a personality test that solves this via a unique synthesis of Chinese Ye Ching, Hindu Chakras, Astrology, Judaic Kabbalah, and Quantum Mechanics.

By combining Human Design with a variety of tools to realign the meanings we hold about ourselves and our experiences, she guides her clients to get unstuck, stop taking flack from everyone else and become their own authorities so they can create the lives and businesses they want without burning out in the process.
