About the Founder
Hello, I’m Leonie, the founder of this space.
“From a very young age, I carried something, like an imagination or a deep inner vision inside me, that I was aware of but didn’t fully understand at that time. I somehow knew that this was meant to be expressed one day and would be brought into an outer form. It felt like my purpose.”
Welcome to Authentic Self Code,
my personal approach to Human Design, shaped by my own journey and lived experience, that continues to evolve through me and it’s living / ongoing experiment of this knowledge, observation, and embodied understanding.
The vision for this space has lived within me for a long time. I always intuitively knew that one day I would bring it into form. But it took years of lived experience, trial and error, and painful lessons I had to learn the hard way before I felt ready on a soul level to begin.
Now, years later, I’ve started turning that inner vision into something tangible. What you see here is the very beginning of everything.
Manifesting this space has taken a lot of time, energy, and intention—including long nights spent imagining what it could become, and a trusted process of co-creation. A special thanks goes to my graphic designer, Niobe from Studio Kynd, who helped bring my long-held vision and visual ideas into this beautifully aligned form.
Authentic Self Code is my inner vision, which I’m now beginning to bring into the world from the inside out. As it grows, I’m giving it space to unfold, find its own rhythm, and gather momentum.
“The intention behind ASC goes very deep and continues to evolve with me.”
About Me and My Journey
Before Human Design found it’s way into my life nearly four years ago, introduced and initiated to me by a Manifestor friend and mentor—I had spent many years struggling with my own authenticity and self-expression.
—————-
For most of my life, I tried to fit in and adapt to the world around me. I poured my whole self and all my energy into trying to make things work and keep up with society’s pace. But I always kept ending up burning out, and couldn’t understand why what seemed to work for others didn’t seem to work for me.
It was a deeply painful time. The expectations around me and the conditioning I’d absorbed pulled me further from my own nature. I often felt misunderstood and bitter, and started to believe there was something deeply wrong with me.
I went through different diagnoses and institutions, always searching for answers that might explain what I was experiencing. But nothing ever truly did. The search went on for years, until I found it hard to trust myself—my instincts or my own authority. I was living against my own nature, forcing myself to continue that way while suppressing all the anger and bitterness I carried.
Then, during my first real period of self-discovery, Human Design found me. I had begun questioning who I really was beneath everything I’d been told throughout my life, and everything I had come to believe about myself.
I had always been drawn to astrology, spirituality, and psychology, so I followed that curiosity and began exploring Human Design more deeply. At the time, I didn’t know how much it would change the way I understood myself and my life.
Through Human Design, I discovered my Energy Type: Projector. For the first time, I found words and a language, for so many of my experiences and patterns: the deep misalignment I felt within myself and with the world around me, and the way I moved through life. I could finally make sense of it all.
Understanding my design and who I came here to be helped me give myself permission again to express my authentic self and live in a way that felt true to my nature, without shame or fear of getting it wrong or not fitting in.
That was the beginning of my process of unlearning and deconditioning. I started to notice the layers I had taken on: ways of thinking, behaviors, perspectives, and standards that I came to see were never truly mine, and had pulled me away from my authentic self.
Reconnecting with my design and energetic blueprint brought me the deepest sense of relief. And it still remains of the most transformative experiences of my life, and has brought me healing in many different ways. I began to understand that living in alignment isn’t about becoming someone else, adapting to the outer world, or trying to fit into a life that I was never designed for.
The idea is clear, but I’d make a small adjustment to the sentence structure before using it:
For me, returning to ourselves beneath conditioning and collective expectations is a way to reconnect with our soul, fulfill the purpose we came here to live and experience in this lifetime, and bring it into embodied form.
“By simply being and expressing who we came here to be.”
My Design
As a 3/5 Splenic Projector,
I naturally have the gift to perceive beneath the surface and see things that are often overlooked by others. I’m very open and highly sensitive to my environment and surroundings, easily noticing the smallest shifts, patterns, dynamics, and energy—whether it is aligned or not.
This natural ability, imprinted in my design, allows me to guide others and support them on their very personal direction and journey through what I observe within and around them, as well as through my own lived experience.
This doesn’t mean that I am a medium, but is rather the gift that uniquely belongs to all Projectors in different niches and forms.
My 3/5 personality line is intense and always changing, but at the same time, it is my greatest teacher in life. This is because it operates through life itself, by learning, figuring things out along the way, and experiencing everything through a trial and error process. This gives me a deep expertise and knowledge on what works and what doesn't.
Within my work and by guiding others, I use this by sharing my perspectives, personal & general experiences, helping others to avoid what doesn’t work, so you can take a direction from the beginning that is more efficient and actually works for you and your design.
With a Splenic Authority,
this is the way I make best decisions in life based on my natural design, guiding me and others within my work through very fast intuitive hits.
Driven by a primal body intelligence that operates strictly in the present moment, it is constantly scanning for what is safe, correct, and healthy right now. The splenic voice doesn't use logic, and it never explains itself.
Learning to trust this authority meant outgrowing the heavy mental conditioning to "sleep on it" or look for rational proof. It required a deep retraining of my nervous system to honor these sudden, quiet nudges before my mind could try to interfere.
In my work with people and brands, this instant knowing allows me to feel out alignment immediately. I don't need to analyze a list of pros and cons; my design simply recognizes what is true, what works, and what doesn’t, the exact moment we connect.
Closing Reflections
To end this first blog post about my introduction and personal journey that led me here and has allowed me to create this space to share what healed, transformed, and changed my life—it has also become my biggest passion, by using Human Design and its unique language to help and support others, creating an understanding of their own design and way of operating, to live and navigate life towards more fulfillment and alignment.
With my work, my vision, and what I’m building from here, I empower you to understand:
YOUR
mechanics and how you are meant to move through life by your own blueprint to reach your highest potential, from a state of Embodiment and Alignment, while continuing to express your Authentic Self.
Authentic Self Code is a space to remember, experience, and return to yourself again.
Welcome, beautiful soul!
“Human Design did not just give me permission through its own unique language and the deep understanding of every individual and its differentiation; it also opened the door to self-love for me and the love for life.”
