Connecting with your Authentic Self | Debby Levering
Once in a while (more often than we should), it’s important to check on yourself and your well-being. Feeling a bit out of balance and want to re-discover your purpose? This blog post is one you definitely want to read. We collaborate today with Debby Levering, who is a Quantum Human Design Specialist, Tapping Practitioner, Akashic Healer and Trauma Informed BodyMind Coach. Debby guides those who are ready to connect with their purpose despite their fears.
Who is Debby?
As a child, she was incredibly shy and quiet and convinced that she didn’t have much to offer and that she wasn’t creative. “In school we set standards around creativity by assigning a number 0-10 or letters A-F. This can be crushing to a child who thinks their value is based on those results, and creativity gets shut down on many levels.” Debby considers herself spiritual, pragmatic, Woo Woo, silly, emotional, and someone who feels deeply. She is a good listener and a keen observer, traits which are very valuable in her coaching practice.
“Personal growth happens for me in times that I challenge myself. When I take time to rest and integrate, I contemplate, take responsibility, set self-loving boundaries and especially when I stop worrying about what other people may think.” That is when things fall onto my path effortlessly. Through following that path Debby ended up living a rather unconventional life. She has traveled a lot, which was in line with her deep drive to explore and learn, as well as her interest in other cultures and people.
On being creative
Being creative doesn’t only mean being able to compose, paint masterpieces, have the voice of an angel or write bestselling novels, that’s talent. Creativity means creating the life you desire and by being aligned with what the universe has in store for you. The way Debby sees it is that we are all creators and creatives and when we allow ourselves to exist without our own harsh judgments, we start to pull in the things we want to manifest in our lives. As the years progressed and especially the last few years, Debby has gotten a clear understanding of her own creativity and creative process through her Human Design and the many forms it comes in. “I recently started custom creating Human Design charts , a new side of creativity I have tapped into, I also record guided meditations. Simply imagining what could be possible for yourself and your inspirations is being creative…” says Levering.
What is Quantum Human Design?
To understand what a Quantum Human Design™ Specialist is, it is important to have a brief explanation of Human Design. Human Design is a unique system and powerful tool that allows you to understand yourself on a much deeper level and connect with your authentic self.
A person’s Human Design is visible on a specific chart which is created based on their date, time and location of birth. This chart, based on several ancient and modern systems, gives a step by step approach to help a person reclaim the story of who they really are.

As a Level 4 Quantum Human Design™ Specialist, Debby helps clients interpret their charts.
The first practical tool this offers is to help people understand how they best make decisions for themselves in their life (how often do we let other people get into our heads and end up saying yes to things we don’t really want to say yes to and vice versa?). This chart also looks into fears, what may be holding one back, what they need to feel safe and grounded, what their purpose is and how they can step into their personal power by tapping into the highest expression of themselves. It’s about understanding that it’s important to shift perspectives and do some healing as we are all vulnerable to conditioning from the moment we are born.
How Debby became a Human Design Specialist and Coach
Ever since she was small she knew she was here to help people. How she was going to do that has been an unfolding of events over her life. In her late 20’s, Debby went through a very dark period in her life where she was so far removed from who she really was that she had no other choice but to listen to her inner wisdom: where did I want to be? What did I want to do? WHO did I want to become? And make some big changes.
Since then Debby has been on her personal journey with a lot of studying and discovering, self-healing, lessons, challenges etc. After graduating in Colorado as a massage therapist she opened her physical business here in Aruba in 2017 where she offers massages specializing in Myofascial Release therapy. “As much as I loved it, I still noticed people looked at me to ‘fix’ them and as much as I am here to help people, I cannot fix a person. People need to take responsibility for their own health and healing, for showing up, for doing the self-care part of the therapy.”
Interestingly enough, a few times Debby had people reach out to her to ask if they could just come and talk to her, because they needed to vent. At the time this felt totally out of her scope of training but it did plant a seed: she wanted to become a coach. She stepped into an intensive 9 month training to become a BodyMind Coach and it was in that time that she learned about Human Design. As soon as she dove into this, she was hooked!
Debby finally understood that undertaking different things in life is okay! It’s part of how one learns and in her case this is what is called the Manifesting Generator type. Soon after, Debby started training with Karen Curry Parker, one of the leading experts in Human Design, and the rest is history!
Of course, during the pandemic, Debby had to shut her physical doors and that, interestingly enough, was a blessing in disguise for her. This moment allowed her to really dive deep into re-inventing herself and her business: to study, to deepen her knowledge, to step outside of her own comfort zone and to be bold enough to decide that she was not going to do physical bodywork anymore as a therapist but instead she decided she was going to guide others in a different way, all on an online platform. “I offer coaching trajectories in which a person really commits themselves to putting themselves on the front burner and explores what needs to change in their life.”
Debby also used this time to get into other certification-trainings like SoulCollage®️, a creative process in which you express yourself through images, RRT tapping, a very targeted deconditioning process to quickly help people connect with, and get rid of old and stuck emotions, all things which she knows are valuable tools for her clients.
Who can benefit from Debby’s coaching?
Anyone who feels like there has to be something more to life, that nagging feeling that this can’t be ‘it’. This can apply to where they find themselves in their relationships, jobs, geographical location. It all matters. For people who struggle to set healthy boundaries, who are kept from having thriving relationships, who don’t trust their own choices, who feel depleted, frustrated, unseen, anxious, trapped, you fill in the blanks.
Those who are aware of the fact that they can’t go on like this any longer and who are ready to take responsibility for their own happiness by showing them how to connect with their chart, relying on their inner voice and intuition to make correct and aligned decisions, with her guidance and support.
Debby tells us that she has cultivated a keen sense of recognizing when someone may be out of balance and what patterns they are upholding which don’t serve them, which is super valuable. People can schedule a single reading with Debby or step into a coaching program in which she guides them for a couple of months to really get down to the nitty-gritty of what is holding them back in life (hint: often two things are the fear of the unknown and the fear of judgement, ‘what will others think’).
“I love watching my clients take baby-steps out of their comfort zones, only to find out things are often a lot less scary than their minds told them they would be! Seeing others thrive like that is what I am passionate about and that is also my purpose: helping others connect with their purpose. I believe that ultimately most of us seek to live a meaningful life.”
To conclude, Debby leaves us with a few tips. When you are living out of alignment with your true self, the Universe WILL give you a shake-up call!
How do you know the Universe is giving you a shake-up?
Here are a few questions to ponder:
• Do you feel lost/lacking purpose?
• Is stuff being thrown your way that just seems too overwhelming? (Pay attention!)
• Are you experiencing recurring life-lessons?
• What stage of your life are you in? (in certain life stages the shake-up will be felt more if you are out of alignment). Life stages to pay attention to: late 20’s to early 30’s, late 30’s to early 40’s, late 40’s to early 50’s, late 50’s to early 60’s, and mid 80’s,
