embodied human design readings

Hi, I’m em tebbetts (they/them), a 3/6 Self Projected Projector through the lens of Human Design, and a very queer and neurodivergent human.

I’m a messily, exuberantly multidisciplinary artist - delighting in exploring and playing with different mediums. I’m also a facilitator and an integrative changework coach.

In my work, I use somatic tools such as expressive movement, embodied doodling/journaling/art-making, sound, and song to guide those I work with into deeper relationship with the language of their bodies, into deeper solidarity with their most vulnerable parts, and into a fuller sense of creative agency + authentic self-expression.

These are elements I weave into my own perspective and usage of Human Design, as well as in the readings I offer.

My work is rooted in:

• a lived and studied understanding of somatics, trauma, shame, power dynamics, and emotional alchemy

• my experiences of chronic, complex, and developmental trauma, neurodivergence, queerness, fatness, disability, and transness

• 5 years of active experimentation with my human design as a 3/6 self projected projector

• a passion for collaborative relationship building, neuroscience, and movement toward collective liberation

• a deep, lived belief in the power of creativity, nature, community, curiosity, pleasure, reverence, aligned risk-taking, and play.

Human Design is a channeled system that uses birth time and location to determine your specific chart.

The Human Design System synthesizes aspects of two types of science: The ancient observational systems of Astrology, the Chinese I’Ching, the Hindu-Brhmin Chakras and The Tree of Life from the Zhar/Kabbalist tradition; and the contemporary disciplines of Quantum Mechanics, Astronomy, Genetics, and Biochemistry.

It’s a complex and multi-dimensional system that centers the individuation/differentiation process - meant to support people in deconditioning from outside authorities (like ideas of the dominant culture) and finding their body’s unique authority, or way of navigating life.

I began diving more deeply into my own experimentation with Human Design back in 2021.

I’ve found it to be an incredibly valuable tool and lens to support me in the process of healing from CPTSD, deconditioning from the dominant culture, and individuating by learning how to honor my unique being and brain wiring as a queer, disabled, neurodivergent being.

It’s helped give me language and a lens through which to strengthen my connection with my own internal authority - my inner GPS, so to speak - as I learn to honor my body’s wisdom and take risks in the direction of trusting in life and my own (and our collective) inherent worth.

Human Design has supported me in learning how to be in deeper solidarity with my most vulnerable parts while valuing my inherent gifts.

It’s also given me language and anchoring to help me share what I’ve found most resonant and supportive with the people in my life.

After several years of experimentation, daily practice, and many many passionately geeky readings for dear ones, I felt called to include Human Design Readings amongst my offerings, weaving in elements of my somatic coaching to support my clients in integrating and experimenting with what they learn from their chart.

Big shout out to my dear friend Lex Mire Brantman especially for encouraging me to offer these publicly!
