LET’S TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE & WORK šŖ
Hey, you! Welcome. Iām so happy youāre here.
Iām Kayla MacArthurāTrauma-Informed Transformational Life Coach & Human Design Expert. For the past nine years, I’ve been helping my clients design meaningful lives & businesses that are deeply authentic, soul-led, & sustainably successful.
While my formal degree is in psychology, my true education comes from stepping off the traditional path and forging my own.
In 2013, I took a leave of absence from my full-time job as a mental health counselor to seek adventure and heart-healing on a spontaneous eight week road trip across the U.S.
This was the first time in my life I did something I always said I wanted to do and while the trip was filled with many life-changing realizations, what stuck with me the most was an aliveness I felt from living each day as my own.
I still remember driving around a bend in Oregon, sunlight glinting off the ocean to my right, as goosebumps stood on my arms and I thought, THIS. This is what it feels like to be FULLY ALIVE. This is how I want to live.
Shortly after returning home, I became obsessed with figuring out how to live life my way, and not society’s way.
A vision bloomed in my heart where I saw myself traveling and having new experiences in different cultures. I felt free like I did on the road. I was doing work that was meaningful, sustainable, and designed around my adventures. I was writing a book and I had a partner by my side to travel with.
While this vision felt far-fetched at the time, I chose to believe it was possible.
It’s important to acknowledge that as a white, heterosexual female born into a middle-class family, I had inherent privileges that made this belief and the following journey more accessible.
After deciding to trade a master’s level education for a coaching certification, I opened my business in 2015 and began experimenting with how to make it successful.
Along the way, I invested in expensive marketing programs, hired top coaches, sharpened my coaching skills, discovered the magic of human design, and ended up serving hundreds of individuals through my programs, workshops, and speaking engagements.
With every swing I took, I either failed miserably or made a small, steady step forward. With every peak and valley, I persevered and never gave up.
In 2019, circumstances finally aligned and I was ready to go full-time.
Now, eleven years after that first taste of aliveness, most of my original vision has come true.
Iām currently based in a small Mexican fishing village with my partner, Ryan, and our cat, Creature. The ocean is a five-minute walk from my apartment. There are wild, untouched beaches and dreamy swathes of jungle. I don’t own a car. I walk everywhere. I belong to a local community that feels like family and a powerful group of friends who are heart-centered leaders and business owners. I practice speaking Spanish. I am in reverent awe of the Mexican culture. I serve my clients remotely and offer human design readings online and in-person. I am passionate about the work I do.
AND I even co-authored a travel memoir with my partner! We published GRAVEL ROADS in 2022.
While I still experience challenges and a different set of peaks and valleys [like every human], I’m proud to say that I figured out how to live my way. I’m proud that my life and business is authentic to me, honors my free spirit, and is both sustainable and successful.
I’m grateful every day for the younger version of me who saw this dream as possible and chose to believe in it, over and over again.
If you’re ready to design what this version of life looks like for you, I’d love to help.
āAs a result of working with Kayla, I feel a deep sense of peace, trust, and freedom. I’m now willing to play in the arena of my life and I have more love and compassion for myself than ever before. I let go of assisting work and went full-time as a freelance photographer. The best part is, I’ve been focusing more on what’s really lighting me up, which is mixed media art.”

A FEW FUN FACTS ABOUT ME
āØ As a little girl, I was obsessed with magic and make believe.
āØ I’m a Taurus āļø, Gemini š, and Cancer ā¬ļø. Before human design, astrology was my one true love. In my youth, there were many visits to the library to look up everyone I met in the big book of birthdays!
āØ I’m a 3/6 Emotional Projector with the Cross of the SPHINX and channels 61-24, 20-10, 1-8, and 30-41 defined. I first learned about human design from a potential employer in 2016 who wanted to assess my chart for fit. At the time, I thought it was pretty whacky.
