My Story
Hello, I'm Catherine Stratta and this is my journey to Moving Beyond Human Design.
I have always been a very curious person, and this is explained by my Human Design profile 1/3 (more of this later), which has pointed me in the directions of researching and gathering information that will eventually help others negotiate their lives, and trying out various different modalities in order to find solutions for problems.
The Defining Years
Despite having suffered mood swings from the age of 12, I achieved a place at Sheffield University to study Medicine. Unfortunately I had to leave after 4 years due to 2 episodes of severe depression. I was diagnosed with and began treatment for Bipolar Disorder at the age of 25, after which I worked in the pharmaceutical industry in clinical research for over 25 years, as a project and programme manager for global clinical trials. Since 2018 I have overcome some incredible life challenges, including severe depression, losing both parents, and being diagnosed with breast cancer. I was able to navigate these challenges with a renewed mission to help others dealing with bipolar disorder.
The Discovery Years
In 2012 I came across Karen Curry Parker talking about Human Design, and I was immediately hooked. I signed up for a reading and started to learn about my Type, Strategy, Profile and Authority, and suddenly the problems that I had experienced in my life, including burnout, made sense!
I still have the 4 pages of notes I took during that reading and I refer to them every now and then. I bought several books and read all I could find about this new modality.
Fast forward to 2023 and I took the plunge to take a Certification in Family Coaching in Quantum Human Design, which included certifying in Levels 1 & 2 of Quantum Human Design™ so that I was qualified to carry out Human Design Readings. In 2024 I certified in Quantum Human Design™ Transformational Coaching.
And now....
I have 50 years lived experience of bipolar disorder and I use transformational coaching together with Quantum Human Design™ in order to help people move forward in their lives, become the best they can be and then go on to give their gifts to the world.
I am a Human Design Projector, so I am here to guide and lead people individually and in teams. I have a toolbox that comprises many different holistic practices and I tailor my work for each individual and team I work with so I provide a bespoke service that is perfect for the person or team I am working with.
I support people with bipolar disorder so they can learn to process their emotions, reduce stress, increase resilience, build support networks and lessen the impact of mood swings, change their inner dialogue, maintain routines, achieve good sleep and find peace within themselves so they can bring their gifts to the world.
I also help people reconnect with their unique energy blueprint so they can understand how their energy flows and how best to use that energy in their life and work and stay in tune with their Type, Strategy, Profile and Authority to make their lives and relationships with others more joyful and flowing.
I love my work and the transformation it can have on such a wide variety of people to help them decondition and become the best version of themselves and then use this knowledge to flow with life by understanding their own unique design, rather than pushing uphill without this key information.
New Services....
As a 1/3 Profile in Human Design, I am a very curious person and am always researching new modalities to add to my toolbox. After watching Marisa doing a live demonstration of Rapid Transformational Therapy® in 2023 I was blown away at the power of this modality, the speed of transformation and the depth and breadth of the sessions. I loved the way this can be used both for physical and emotional issues and how Marisa was able to change lifelong beliefs in one session and resolve long held physical issues.
So, I enrolled on a 10 month course to gain my certification in RTT® that comprised many hours of detailed study and included 4 x virtual 4 hour classrooms and 4 x 1 hour tutor group sessions. There was a great deal of emphasis on practising with others on the course, including providing formal feedback and a final practical assessment where I carried out a session online with a tutor assessing me, which was actually quite scary. I passed the assessment and graduated as an RTT® Practitioner.

“I was recently gifted a Human Design reading with Catherine — something I was completely new to, so had no idea what to expect! Catherine took me through my chart, explaining my energy type and talking me through the different energy centres and what they all mean. The reading gave me some great insights into what type of person I am, and why certain situations affect me in a particular way. It was a really engaging hour, Catherine explained everything so well, and has left me with food for thought about how I can use this information to unlock my potential."
