Soul Contract — the soul-level why
An example of how Soul Contract is decoded from various versions of our name, and how these numbers interact
Soul Contract works differently from the other systems. It is calculated from your name rather than your birth data. Your name is not just a label. It is a frequency that keeps drawing specific experiences toward you (so that you can work through your specific lessons).
Some of us have such hard experiences that changing our name can help (although others may not like it when we take on more power). I changed my name for two reasons. I had a lot of clashing numbers that made it hard to be emotionally stable. And my son carried more power than me, so I couldn’t help him feel safe and contained (deep down, he was always worried he would hurt someone and that I would not be able to protect him). I put him in karate to help him channel his power, and I choose a dojo carefully to make sure his sensei had a high enough level of consciousness to help him feel safe.
The names people choose for their businesses, retreats, or creative projects reveal something about where they are in their own journey. If they choose names with difficult numbers, we can work through why they might be standing in the way of their own success. I know that I had some issues with my parent-child line, because this is something I am still trying to figure out – how to help parents who are struggling, by getting them to take ownership, and also understanding that they feel like they are drowning. Adding Esogetic Medicine I think is key, because it shifts things that explanations can’t touch!
Where Human Design and the Gene Keys are built on hexagrams of the Iching, Soul Contract is built upon pathways between the Sephira on the Tree of Life. The founder of the Gene Keys says one represents involution while the other represents evolution – how we come into the body and how we bring what we learn from our experience back to source. But you don’t have to believe all that, its just one way to see how they may fit together. Esogetics (as you will see below) also uses birth date and name and also offers ways to treat this on the body.
When I worked on a crisis line, I was always discouraged when someone I felt I had made a lot of progress with would call back on my next shift, stuck back where they were before our last call. Soul Contract, to me, felt like a way to snap people out of this, by giving them the why and what next that they were looking for, if they are ready. And Esogetics is there if they are stuck.
Some people find Soul Contract uncomfortable because of their religious or atheist beliefs. Not everyone can handle the possibility of past lives, or that we ask for hardship because learning to find our way out is of value. For them, starting with Human Design (and maybe the Gene Keys) feels a bit more clinical, and thus safe.

What clients say:
"Working with you, I learned that I have a lot of 5's in my Soul Contract, and that explained a lot of things for me. I love the work that you do because it helps people feel at peace with who they are, without constantly trying to fight who they are, because they lack awareness.
I am going to continue to do work on myself and share my truth with the world as I was meant to do.
- Sumeet A.
"Now I realize that when I used a feminine approach to my business I was happier and more successful, seeing that this is my strength I will try to go back to this approach.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What name do I use for a Soul Contract reading? Your full birth certificate name — exactly as it appears on your birth certificate, including middle names. This is the name that carries your soul's frequency for this lifetime. If your name has changed through marriage, adoption, or choice, we can look at both — your birth name holds the original contract, while your current name shows the overlay you are living now. If you are looking at understanding your relationships: you would need this information for the other person as well
What if my name is not English? The Soul Contract system works with English phonetics. If your name is pronounced in another language, a phonetic translation is required — this is not something you can guess at. Please send a recording of yourself saying your name — once at normal speed and twice slowly — the way your primary caregiver would have said it (usually your mother). We can work through the translation together in a session.
Can I calculate my own Soul Contract? Yes — the Soul Contract Calculator is an affordable app that allows existing clients to continue exploring charts on their own. If you are new to the system, a session first is recommended — the numbers alone don't tell you much without the context of how they interact with your specific life. Once you've had a reading, you will know more what you are looking for, what you might want to avoid, and what you can expect.
What is the difference between physical and spiritual karma, talents, and goals? Your Soul Contract is mapped onto a Star of David — two overlapping triangles. The physical triangle governs your material life and is most active from birth to approximately age 35 (younger for kids who are raised consciously - with awareness of and respect for their Unique Psychology and Felt Safety). The spiritual triangle governs your inner development and becomes more predominant from age 35-42 onward. Both run simultaneously throughout life. The soul destiny at the center integrates all six positions into your overarching life mission.
Can this be done for my child? Yes — a child's Soul Contract can reveal why they struggle and keep attracting difficult people or situations. We can also consider if we need to change our name to help them feel more safe, or if a place we love is actually not right for them right now, because it causes lessons they are not ready to work through to come to the surface.
Can this be done for my child or my business? Yes - the Soul Contract for your business names, tag line, website, project names, etc also need to align well with the energy in your name, or it will feel like a mismatch to prospective clients, you can also look at the names you choose to see if and how you might be sabotaging your chance at success, see Into the World.
Is this available online? Yes — fully available online worldwide via video call, or in person in Oakville, Ontario.
