If you asked us which system we like more, Human Design or Gene Keys, I don’t think we could give you an answer. Gene Keys is like the intense & mystical sister to Human Design; complex in theory, yet simple to sit with.

I, myself (Mariah) have been exploring Gene Keys for a few years now, and have become fascinated with it, especially the way that it breaks things down into different levels of frequency. Learning more about your profile, your core wound, your life’s path, and how you’re meant to attract people into your life, is just the tip of the iceberg.

Which is why we’re so stoked to have Gene Keys expert, Maria Henning on the podcast. Maria has a gift of being able to explain the complexities of the Gene Keys in a way that feels more tangible & practical than most.

Her knowledge & passion for this system is truly inspiring, and I bet if you didn’t know about Gene Keys until this episode, you’re gonna be running to grab your profile before the conversation ends.

This is a good one my friends, we hope you enjoy! ☺️

➡️ Maria’s journey of exploring Human Design & Gene Keys

➡️ What are the Gene Keys?

➡️ How Gene Keys connects with Human Design

➡️ Where to get your free profile

➡️ Using Gene Keys as a tool for self-reflection

➡️ Our favorite aspect of the Gene Keys

➡️ How/where to get started when looking at your own profile

➡️ An overview of the different sequences & what they mean

➡️ Examples of how to interpret & integrate the information
