It's the morning after the end of the Camino. Going for a wander at the end of the earth, I meet Debby. Debby is a pragmatic, down-to-earth, WooWoo kind of person, with a big heart and a good balance of seriousness & humour. Walking the Camino was for her a way to embrace a significant phase and transition in life, which led to her naming herself the 'Menopausal Pilgrim'. Her journey came with challenges, pivots, insights, surrender and acceptance. She is a transformational coach who, with Human Design as the foundation, guides and facilitates healing for those who are ready to align with their unique expression and purpose, working through blocks and fears. She has trained and certified in many supporting modalities and will probably study until she takes her final breath. If you’d like to learn more or connect with Debby, do so here.
