It all started with curiosity…
Dr. Rasheeka’s Story
About Me: The Journey That Led Me Here
It all started with three books and a burning desire to go deeper and wider into my spiritual journey, myself, and the way I could heal my trauma wounds. Burnout and depression had started to consume me and I just could not take it any more. Ten years ago, an old friend handed me these thick books called Astrology for Dummies, Gene Keys, and The Definitive Book of Human Design. I had no idea at the time that these books would completely change the way I saw myself and the world around me.
As I poured into these books, my self-study began. I devoured every free course I could find on these approaches, read blogs written by HD experts, and studied videos on YouTube about them. There I was filling journal after journal with reflections and discoveries. A few months in, I booked my first Human Design chart reading that ended with a Reiki Energy session. I walked into it curious, but by the end, I was in tears. For the first time, I not only feel seen but I also felt FREE. I know that sounds cliche' but when you have been in living in dissociation for most of your life running away from the pain of trauma you have chains all over you.
I started experimenting with what I’d learned, using the journal prompts and practical tools I was given. My world shifted. A year later, I knew I could not keep this to myself. Working in community mental health at the time, my ability to share was limited, but that didn’t stop me. I enrolled in a two-year program to deepen my knowledge of Human Design, Gene Keys, and Astrology to become a Certified Human Design Reader and Coach. I was fortunate because this was the last time the teacher was offering this course because she later retired. I wanted her program because she studied HD for over 20 years. The books I once struggled to fully understand suddenly clicked, and I couldn’t wait to share what I’d learned with others.
Bringing Human Design to the Therapy Room
I started small sharing insights with friends, family, and coaching clients. By 2019, when I launched my holistic private practice, I knew it was time to integrate Human Design into the therapy room. This wasn’t just another tool because I saw it as a deeper way to help my clients reconnect with themselves, embrace their shadows, and reclaim their gifts after we processed the trauma. I am telling ya’ll, this shit works!
Over the years, I’ve expanded my reach educating & consulting with other healers to show them how to use Human Design to enhance their work. This journey inspired me to create my own framework, HD Trauma Therapy, that I was fortunate to include a small part into my clinical case study for my doctorate.
The Impact: Personally and Professionally
Human Design didn’t just transform my professional life, it transformed ME personally more than I could have imagined. It made me a WAY better parent, a more aligned partner, a more present therapist, and a more intuitive coach. It gave me the tools to honor my energy and help others do the same. Hell, it even helped me understand my parents more!
And I never stopped learning. Every year, I take a new course to deepen my understanding of these systems. This is my “continuing education,” not just for my professional growth but also for my holistic healing journey. I take a part of my chart, dive into its meaning, and experiment with what I learn. It keeps me connected to my process, reminding me that the work I ask others to do is the same work I do for myself. That is just how true healing and deconditioning works.
Oh, and by the way…
Just in case you wanted to know my HD stats, I am a proud 1/3, Sacral- Manifesting Generator. When I’m not geeking out over Human Design, I wear a few other hats. I’m a Licensed Holistic Therapist in North Carolina specializing in intimacy after trauma, a community college instructor shaping future human service professionals, mother, and wife.
I’m someone who thrives on diving deep into life, different healing tools, and into understanding what makes us-US. I’ve spent years exploring the intersections of energy, emotion, and identity, guided by an endless curiosity and a love for uncovering the “why” behind the “what.” At my core, I’m a lifelong learner, an experimenter, and someone who believes in the power of both shadow and light to shape our most authentic selves. I express my love for colors through my hair, I love to read, and listen to music just to name some fun facts.
Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all…& neither are my offers. 😊
