Student stories

Four students. Four paths. One lineage.

A testimonial tells you a course was good. A story tells you what the path actually looks like. Here are four students — a coach, a CEO, a naturopathic doctor, and a UX designer — in their own words, with a little context around each. Every quote below is verbatim from what they submitted; the framing is ours. Shorter testimonials live on the testimonials page.

The analyst path

When the mechanics reorient everything

Marieke Schnoing-GelsHuman Design Coach & Leadership Facilitator · Professional Analyst Training (PTL 1–3)

Marieke came to the professional analyst training already working as a Human Design coach and leadership facilitator — someone who knew the material well enough to teach it. What changed for her in PTL was not more information. It was the purity of the transmission itself.

The path they took: Professional Analyst Certification — Level 1

"Before studying with Laveena, I already felt deeply drawn to Human Design. But through her way of teaching Ra’s transmission, something changed. The knowledge stopped being something I was trying to understand from the outside. It started to move through my body, through my work, through the way I see people, and through the way I hold space. … What I value so much in Laveena is that she honors that transmission. She does not stand in front of it. She serves it. … And once you have seen someone mechanically, you cannot really go back to seeing them in the old way."
— Marieke Schnoing-Gels, in their own words
Depth over fluff

The difference between pop HD and the source

Michelle PecakFounder & CEO, Simple Smart Consulting

Michelle runs her own consulting company, so she had no patience for surface-level content. What she was looking for — and what she describes finding — is the layer of the knowledge that most of the internet never touches.

The path they took: Explore the certification paths

"Learning HD from Laveena is as if someone showed you that HD had a deeper, PHD level. … Not everyone is ready to know the DEPTH of HD, and the fluff that is out there can sound fun and fruitful, but it isn’t where the transformation happens. Learning from Laveena feels like sitting next to RA and the truest source of HD."
— Michelle Pecak, in their own words
Step by step

From a few videos to a professional toolkit

Cheryl LycetteNaturopathic Doctor · LYD, Radical Transformations, Rave ABCs

Cheryl’s arc is the one most practitioners actually take: she started with videos, then booked sessions, then took Living Your Design — and kept going, through Radical Transformations and Rave ABCs, now headed toward Rave Cartography. As a naturopathic doctor, she brings that grounding into conversations with her own patients with confidence.

The path they took: Professional Living Your Design Guide Certification

"Her knowledgable, passionate and personal teaching style makes the knowledge infectious. … It was life changing being truly seen by someone who had never met me."
— Cheryl Lycette, in their own words
Learning on your own schedule

Self-paced, and still fully alive

Milena PacherazovaUX Designer · Foundations student

Milena studied the foundations self-paced, through recordings — the format many working professionals worry will feel flat. Her experience is the honest answer to that worry, and a picture of what happens when the knowledge starts explaining a life back to the person living it.

The path they took: Explore the certification paths

"Even through recordings, Laveena’s energy comes through vividly. She is deeply knowledgeable and brings the mechanics to life through personal stories, jokes and memorable metaphors. … This knowledge helped me answer questions I had been carrying my whole life. Past situations, interactions and memories that I had never shared with anyone, things I always felt quietly strange about finally started to make sense."
— Milena Pacherazova, in their own words
