My Story :

From Academia to Authenticity

Hi beautiful people, I'm Dr Kailin Wu. In my academic career, I was Kailin. Friends and many clients know me as Karen.My professional life has always been driven by a fascination with the 'why' behind our choices. This led me to a PhD exploring the intricate decision-making dynamics within families and clarifying children's unique voices. For 16 years as a university lecturer in London, my life was shaped by academic calendars, assessments and deadlines. My deepest satisfaction always came from the spark in students' eyes. I loved witnessing their 'aha!' moments of discovery, and their personal and academic transformation.Despite a rewarding career, I felt a pull toward a different kind of knowledge and wisdom that our formal education often overlooks. This led me to ask bigger questions: What makes us who we are? And how can we live more purposefully and effortlessly, without the pressure to conform?This lifelong inquiry took its next evolution when I discovered Human Design. It was a fascinating system that didn't just explain my nature. Most importantly, it empowered me to embrace my unique nature. It gave me the permission to start living more authentically.This discovery was a turning point. You can read more of this personal journey in my first journal post, 'More Than a Map.

Welcome to the Study of You

Today, I’ve traded the lecture halls for a space dedicated to YOU. I combine my academic experience with the wisdom of Human Design. This creates a unique approach to self-discovery.My work is not about fixing you, because you are not broken. It’s about re-introducing YOU to yourself. Together, we'll uncover who you truly are. This enables you to understand, accept and unleash the remarkable person you are designed to be.
